Someone I know said they received money from this company and received money and it was supposed to be apart of a grant program. I received a link through Messenger and reached out to the company. They followed up with me and asked me if I've ever applied for a grant. He walked me through the steps of filling it out on my phone. He asked for my phone number, my address, my name and my birth date. I asked for $30,000 in the grant. He said I would be approved for the grant. He also sent pictures of him putting money inside a box as they parked in front of Chase bank, and also putting the money inside of a FedEx truck. He asked me to purchase a visa gift card for $500 to pay for shipping and handling. I purchased the gift card and shared the information on a card through a picture. The next day he texted me and said I would get the money would be delivered in a few hours to my home. A few hours went by and I didn't receive the money. He then sent me a picture of the FedEx truck being stopped by the police. He also said I had to pay $1,0000 in taxes to the IRS. At this point I realized it was a scam and told him I didn't have that money to pay. I stopped answering texts from him and turned notifications off in Messenger.

The website looks legitimate, as it is from the USPS, however, when clicking on the email notification to check the status of delivery, it is invaild.

Each time they were to deliver the grant money, they asked me to send more gift cards. I finally just stopped sending gift cards to them and never received anything. This went on for several weeks. I should have known it was a scam from the start.

I was contacted on Facebook by someone I trusted as a friend. I was asked to buy gift cards (2500 dollars worth) for processing to receive 130,000 dollars grant not to be repaid. Instead of gc I sent personal check to an agent. Then after 2500 dollars, demands for more money to unlock code to receive grant. At this point, I said ENOUGH. I lost total of 5000 dollars.

My husband was being scammed out of a $500 apple gift card, in exchange for a fedex package with $50,000 cash. The scammer used the name Agent James Moore. The scammer sent him a video of a makeshift fedex office with a package with my husband's name on the box. He said it was a free government grant, not to tell anyone until he received the money. He also posed as a friend on my husbands Facebook saying she was a recipient and that it was true and she sent her gift card and the $50,000. James told my husband to send him a copy of the receipt of the apple gift card and he would overnight the $50,000. He said only a gift card, as they didn't want to deal with a bank, as they are busy.

I got a message from my "ex-sister-in-law" saying she had good news. She said she got $150,000.00 from the Lions Club International Foundation Program. She said my name was on the list too. I asked what she was going to do with the money, and she replied that she has plans. She gave me a link to contact Rick. But I'm not very good online. She keeps pressuring me to get hold of these people. She says it's legit. She said the money was delivered to her doorstep.

Marvin Green messaged me and asked if I knew I had won some money. He told me to contact Agent Eric James keeps messaging me. He asked for my name to see if I was on a list. Then at 4am, he told me I was on the winners list and I am eligible for a government grant of $250,000. asked for $1,000. These are some of the reasons you should pay the tax clearance and delivery fee because it exempts you from paying tax when you get the money. I told him I could not pay him. Then he asked how much I could pay. He said everything is backed up by the CIA. He said he's been working for 27 years and to comply with my words He said he is a Christian man who is just doing his job, he would never scam me. He said Fedex would deliver the money to me. He kept asking me if I was ready to pay the money now. Then Marvin Green comes back and keeps asking if I have talked to him yet. and whether I have gotten my money yet. He said the cash is real and he paid off his home. He said he was shocked when Fedex knocked on his door. He said he hates scams, and the bank told him the cash was real. He keeps asking if I got the money yet and "This not a hoax" https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id10007078447618&mibextid=vbwkwl He makes lots of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, no way does he work for the government.

They indicated they were from the Lake County benefits department and needed to schedule my exam for life insurance at my home for tomorrow. I said I didn’t know what it was about and they indicated it’s because I’m approaching 60. I said I’m not approaching 60, reiterated that I didn’t know what it was about but I’m not interested and hung up. They then proceeded to harass me via text messages.

Scammer played as an imposter to a family friend (Beverly G****) and used their Facebook account to message the victim and solicit money from him by offering him a governmental grant (under the name of National Community Foundation). In order to receive the grant, he would need to send $1,000.00 to Paul Carlos, who then release the grant funds to him. Victim did not want to send the funds via cashapp or by phone, as he was unsure of its validity, so he went to his bank to wire the money and requested confirmation of receipt of payment which the scammer gave. Then the scammer informed him that he would need to send $4,500.00 before grant funds could be released.

First ******** * ***** ******* hit me up on messenger and told me to hit this company up over a donation. I did it and the next person was listed "gradient gives back program ggbp" they asked me for all my information and my Facebook password and username. Then they asked for 500 dollars and I booted them from everything. Now both accounts are arguing with me about why they aren't scammers. This is an AI large language model.
