Type of a scam Government Grant

I got an instant message from my sister's Facebook. She said she got a grant from the Worker's Federation. She said to text Nancy Smith. I did. She said I was eligible for a government grant which I would not have to pay back. Nancy called me a winner, and told me to buy an Apple Gift Card for $500, and scratch the security number from the back, and send her a picture of it front and back, which I did. I bought the card at Dollar General. Then she said I was eligible for more money and to buy another Apple gift card for $200. I returned to Dollar General, and bought the second card. I took pictures of the card front and back, but heard nothing from her. Then she said there was no money on either card. I was freaking out. She told me if I couldn't take a picture and send it I could email it to [email protected] or [email protected]. She got mad and asked why I was sending her pictures of cards with no money on them. Then she sent me a picture of my house and asked if that is where I lived. She said a FedEx driver would be delivering the money to my door. My "sister" told me Nancy is a saint. My "sister" said she had a busted eardrum and her doctor didn't want her talking to people so I couldn't talk to her. I was messaging my sister, and Nancy and Angela at the same time and they were all telling me the same thing, that the cards weren't activated or the store made a mistake. My aid called Apple and they said they would transfer the money from the card to my Apple account if there is any money left on the card. I told her I was calling Better Business Bureau. I'm on disability and now I have to borrow money from other people to pay my rent.

I got a text from a friend on messenger, I don't believe it was her. The text reads: "The US Small Business Administration is an independent federal agency that works to assist and protect the interest of American small businesses. We administer our programs through district offices throughout the United States and provide additional services through a network of resource partners. All SBA programs and services are extended to the public on a non-discriminatory basis." Then it lists Relief Payments amounts from $2,000 - $12,000, with fees ranging from $100 - $2000. It goes on to say: "Note 1: This program don't require co-signers, it's designed to help less privilege as palliative measure to cushion effect of covid-19 during this lockdown. Note 2: Applicant can receive payment through Cashapp, Paypal or Walmart to Walmart." It's signed by a Director and a Relief Payment Coordinator. And my "friend" texted "choose from the list".

I wanted to travel to Canyon de Chelly National Park in Arizona.

I goggled Canyon de Chelly and the first item that came up was "www.nationalparkreservations.com" and it mentioned lodging reservations. I navigated through and could only request a reservation. The only places shown was a Thunderbird Lodge and a Best Western; I selected the Best western. The next day I received a call to confirm my reservation. The lady said it would cost more than the Best Western was showing. I hesitated, but made the reservation anyway.

Then I started thinking about the whole system afterward, and the next day, and how I was deceived by their reservation system with their shady dealings.

1. The business name is National Park Reservations. Their website looks official and leads you to believe they are the official National Parks system.

2. There was no National Park Lodges like their website leads you to believe. They are motels.

3. They don't give you the reservation on-line, but call you the next day pressuring you to make the reservation and charging 10% for a deposit that is non-refundable.

4. They charge a great deal more for the reservation, which was about $150/day. I later called the same Best Western hotel and got a quote of $105/day for the same days.

5. I called them the following day or two and said I was tricked by their whole system, and that I wanted my money back. I said that they deceived me, took advantage of me, and probably take advantage of other old people like me. They just kept saying 'did you read the terms, did you accept the terms'. They kept saying that over and over, not caring about my position. They wouldn't let me talk to a supervisor at first, but finally relented. The supervisor called me the next day and had the same schtick, 'did you read the terms, did you accept the terms' 'did you read the terms, did you accept the terms ''did you read the terms, did you accept the terms'. The pressure was unrelenting. They would not refund my deposit.

Their "National Park Reservations" is a scam and needs to be stopped. Stop deceiving people into thinking they are actually the government National Park Service. And stop the pressure techniques. And when confronted with doubt, stop the "gotcha" routine.

Impatient and persistent about me accepting the grant for Clearance and Delivery Fee disguised in Christian excerpts from the Bible. Wanted me to go to CVS late at night to purchase VANILLA Gift cards in amt of 2x$500 each. Take pics of front and back including receipt from purchase of cards. Since I would not go out last night to make the purchase, I was reminded this morning to go that way I could have the Grant delivered to my door within 5 hrs.

Found on Facebook on one of the people we follow on facebook, a message from Harry Hickerson saying there is a “new grant out funding for $20,000 must have a LLC and an EIN “. We messaged them on messenger and they said they will file and apply for us for $50 via cash app. Then we sent him our name, business email and phone number and the $50. Not even 5 minutes he messaged us on messenger saying we were approved for $26,000 to check our email. We checked our email and it says that we are approved for $26,000 from the small business association for Covid relief for small businesses. It was from an gmail account (red flag). And it requested we only need to provide our bank account number to receive and an additional payment of $100.00. And right away then we figured out we were scammed

Cousin said hello. 1st contact in a decade. I gave him my cell phone number and ask that he contact me on that instead. Said his phone was disabled and asked if I knew about TCF/$15000 available for free. Currently stringing him along so he may leave somebody else alone for a while. Sounds just like the girl and Idaho.. Let me know if you want me to let him get maybe $50 so it's prosecutable?
