Victim Location 68601
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
Was initially sent a friend request by Grulkey Royce, it stated that he was friends with a relative so I accepted. Not long after accepting I started receiving personal messages from this person. They stated that they were from Menlo Park, California and worked for Facebook and wanted to know if I had been informed of my prize. They went on to say that I was one of the twenty lucky people chosen to receive a special prize from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg. My prize was to be Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars. He said that it was 100% legit and that the FBI and Homeland Security already knew about the contest. Then proceeded to send me pictures of past winners which you could tell were photo shopped because one of them even stated it was from the Illinois Lottery. I explained to him that I could tell they were fake and that I didn’t need to be scammed and he blocked me from messaging him anymore. I hope that this gets out there reported to more people because I’d hate to think of someone losing money over a stupid scam like this one.
