Victim Location 80918
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I run a youtube channel and so have lots of Facebook "friends" who seek my advice. I immediately recognized this as a scam solicitation, so have been playing along to see what information I could find. Here is a copy of the correspondence, complete with a FB page, using first names only. Additionally, I used "tineye" to do a reverse lookup and found the image of a man in a camel-colored suit was taken from a Yale alumni site; I could not locate the owner of the other image used on the link.

Connie: It’s a new program not yet announced publicly to help maintain the standard of living and eradicate poverty and they are helping with £200000 so i thought i would see if you’ve gotten your winnings already
