Type of a scam Government Grant
I was contacted by an acquaintance on FB messenger telling me about this great FGTC grant she got delivered in cash just by applying. Because I trusted this woman I started to contact this person after asking a lot of questions. Unfortunately, I gave some personal information–until they wanted an I.D. which I refused to give. I then asked the woman why she contacted ME since we didn’t know each other that well. She said to share God’s gift to her. I asked he to call me which she did not. I also asked the "agent" to call me as I had some questions–which they did not. I also became aware the way they were texting that English was not the first language. I was told by my "friend" that I would have to pay the Fedex charge to have the money shipped to me, which I did not do. My husband then told me my friend was probably being "ghosted." I had never heard of this.
