An account marked as Robert Arthur Chatterton sent me a message request, his account shows this:
Agent at International Monetary Fund CLAIMING AGENT and Agent at International Monetary Fund
Lives in Washington, District of Columbia, with this message: Didn’t you hear about the good news yet from international monetary fund (IMF)Company ? Now it also shows that we have a mutual friend. I contacted the mutual friend and he told me this: "One of my facebook friends from White Bluff, they received a cash prize & saw my name on the list & to contact this guy. She said she won 125k & when I contacted him, he said I was on the list for 150k. He said I needed to send 500 bucks for delivery to cover insurance etc but I could not get anyone outside of this guy to verify anything, I even called his DC headquarter & they couldn’t verify him but said they have many people who work from home he didn’t know. I just checked my friend’s page and it is no longer up… Hmmm This happened about a week ago initially." I suspect that once message is accepted along with friendship it opened the female friend’s page to be "hijacked" to show this message. Once it was seen, and it hooked someone else in, it was removed. The number my male friend called was one he googled the company name. "IMF"
