A message from my aunt I recently spoke to messaged me from a new account referring me to an agent for a NCG grant. It was an impersonator of impersonator of NCG Agent Debra G. Wymet that contacted me through Facebook Marketplace. I was a lucky winner of $200,000.00. I was only expected to get a gift card for $1000 to pay them so I could receive my funds. I believe they then planned to use the activation code on the back to claim the money

A person claiming to be a very good friend of mine on Facebook, via messenger, told me about a grant he received, saying I was eligible. He told me to give these people $500 as I was eligible for a $90,000 Urban Grant. Of course I didn’t give them any information, but my name, address and phone number are on the internet. My friend asked me if I had received any grant information from the the federal government. He was sure I would be able to receive this money. They asked for name, address, phone number, and a few more dumb things stating they were going to send all this information to the government. Of course you know the government already has my information. He said if I sent them $500 I would get $90,000. They asked for my full name which they already had via Facebook, my address, phone number, and how much money I made. When I told them this was a scam they became very angry. He said just to send the money and everything would be taken care of and he would send me information in the mail via Fed ex to sign papers to get the money. I blocked them both. I just want to make it known to everybody that the federal government will not ask you for money. They were very belligerent in the end when I kept asking them about scamming, I feel bad that I honestly thought this was my friend talking to me before I realized it was a scam.

They offered my husband and I a government grant. Ex: If you applied with $500 you would get $25,000 delivered. You had to send them a list of details of your personal information. Name, address, phone number etc. AND a picture of yourself which was on of course our drivers license. So they have that information too.

They asked for the monies to be sent to them one of three ways, PayPal, Cashapp, And all types of Valid Gift Cards. If you went through PayPal like I did, you had to send it a certain way of payment type or they WERE NOT happy. The payment went through for one of our requests but PayPal put a hold on the other one. Thank you PayPal.

One of my previous colleagues who has retired 4 years ago, texted me via Facebook, asked how am I doing, blah, blah. Then asked me if I heard about DHHS program, said she received $100,000 and I could, too. She referred me to “AGENT Dean Philips” from facebook. I searched “DHHS” in BBB, and confirmed this is a scam.

I received a message from a cousin in MI, I live in GA, D**** **** asking me if I received my GGF package. I asked her what she was talking about. She said she receive $250k by Fed X a grant she didn't have to pay back. She said my name was mentioned. She sent me a link so I checked it out. I was told to purchase a $500 Apple Gift Card to send to them. I only had $400 so was told to go with that to get things started. So sent them $400 and said would send other $100 in a few days. I called Doris on the phone. She said she didn't send that to me. She was hacked on Face Book. Sending copies what they sent me and what I sent them. I have pictures of the card and receipt sent to them. Thank you for your service.

On 4/14/23 I was told by someone I know that they saw my name on a list to receive a governmental grant. I was told to  Google chat and type to find out about the grant and I was asked to provide personally identifiable information. I provided my full name, address, telephone number, email address, disability status, and monthly income. I was given several options to pay a certain amount up front using a stream wallet gift card and receive money by check or cash. I chose the option to pay $2500 up front to receive the $50,000. I told them I would not have the money until next month and was told they would contact me everyday until I provided the money upfront. I was told they would deliver the money to my door within 24 hours once I paid. I was also told not to tell anyone.

I was on facebook and thought my realtive contacted me on messenger and offer my an opportunity of life time to recieved 500000 dollars if I sent them money. Then another guy that goes by Ken Rechie got on and took over for my relative which whis account was hacked. Got me going and thought I was going to get the money but he kept on asking for more and more until my son and daughters stop me from doing it. They helped me to understand that I was scamed by calling my relative instead of messageing him. I lost alot of money.

The CNCS I think is using duplicated Facebook accounts to scam people into believing that they can get money just like your long lost friend did but it’s not really them it’s just a scam artist claiming to be them when you get approved large amount of money then they ask you to send $800. For delivery and $640. For security purposes don’t believe it nothing for nothing on line when they asked for money I didn’t feel right about it so I did some investigation on my own and I saw some shady fees being asked for

DONOT BELIEVE THIS FACEBOOK SCAM ALL THE INGREDIENTS FOR A SUCKERS PIE

My girlfriend's Facebook account was hacked, but I didn't realize it. I received a message on Facebook messenger that provided a link that said it was governmental grant that I could receive. When I clicked on the link it asked me to provide personally identifiable information, including my bank account information. My bank contacted me and let me know there were fraudulent charges appearing on my account from Apple.com/bill/lo. The first was $10.99 , the second $32.95, and the third $15.19.
