Total money lost $800
Type of a scam Government Grant
On July 24, 2018, I was contacted from a very good friend of mine through Facebook Messenger telling me that she has some great news for me. She asked me if I heard of International Monetary Funds Assistant Program. She said she got the sum of 100,000from them. She thought I got it. She saw my name on the winners list when they delivered her winnings. She said to text the agent in charge right now that I want to claim my winning money at 866-406-5622 right now. So I did and the agent asked me for my full name. He said yes congratulations my Facebook profile account name is still available. So I gave my name, address, city, state, zip code, e-mail, phone number, occupation, Photo ID, Male or Female, age, monthly income, valid Facebook password. On Friday July 27, 2018, I sent $800.00 via western union to get $100,000 and Saturday the IRS stopped the delivery truck and put the package on hold until I pay $2000.00 to release it. well right there I figure it was a scam and told the agent I cannot pay that and I am done with this. I am out $800.00 dollars and trying to figure out how I am going to pay my rent. I have all of the text messages saved. I decided today the 29th of July to report a scam on BBB.
