Type of a scam Government Grant
An acquaintance from childhood contacted me over facebook (I learned from a mutual friend that he had been hacked) regarding a purported government grant, called the "Trust Community Foundation Grant." When I searched the name, I came up with a name of an organization in New Zealand, although the scammer assured me it was an American program. He pressed me to contact the phone number listed above and told me that I would need to pay a fee (of varying amounts from $300 to $10,000) to receive the grant money. I did not contact that number. I took screenshots of the entire conversation.
