Type of a scam Government Grant
This person hijacked one of my friends facebook messenger account. He started off with "how you doing?" We started having a casual conversation and then he stated that he was happy because he just received a large sum of money from the National Help Commison. He stated that he saw my name on the list of winners and wanted me to be aware. He then provided me with the name Anthony Evans at 1-443-731-6335. Out of curiosity i text the number and received a list that had several options for cash. ie-pay 500.00 and get 50,000 and so on. At this point i began to realize that his texts were very similar to the way he spoke on facebook messenger. This is when i began to realize that this person on messenger was not who i thought it was. I stopped all communication with him after that. I hope they catch this person before he does any more damage to unsuspecting people!

Type of a scam Government Grant
A suppose to be friend sent me the info.to email the company that gives grants to those that need money.I emailed them and they answered asking my full name,address ,if I’m single or married ,if I work and then ask me to wait while they checked to see if I qualified for a grant that I would never have to pay back because it is a gov.grant and don’t have to be repaid.I waited A few minutes later he said I would get a grant and gave me a list of choices of how much I would like to get.If I chose $3500,00 I would only pay a fee of $350.00 for it to be delivered. I told him If I had that kind of money I would not be asking for a grant.He offered different ways for me to get money to send them,like borrowing from someone.I said no and told him to forget it .He finally said if I would send them $10.00 they would help my application on file till I could get the fee to give them.I again said no and got off the line.I hope I have given you the correct email for them and the right website.I’m getting old and my memory is not what it used to be.I just remembered something the person that gave me the info for the National Help Program said he sent them $400.00 and received $4500,00 the next day.That is why I called him a supposed to be friend.
