This report is as told to me by my 80-year-old mother, the victim of the scam.

Several weeks ago (January 2021) she was unable to log into her Facebook account. She tried all sorts of methods for reinstating her account. She is isolated due to Covid and Facebook has been a very important way of remaining connected, so losing access to her account was very upsetting.

On February 3, 2021, she found a number on the Internet that claimed to be a Facebook help center. The fraudsters claimed they could see "hackers attacking her Facebook account" from five different countries. My mother spent 5 hours on the phone speaking with at least three different people, who scared her, wore her down emotionally, and called her no fewer than 40 times from various numbers around the country. The criminals claimed that to stop the hackers she had to buy Google Play cards and then Target cards at a value of $500 each to stop the hackers. She gave the criminals the scratch codes to seven such cards on February 3.

They called her February 4 claiming Russians were now attacking her account urging her to immediately buy five more Google Play cards at a value of $500 each. I was able to intervene before she gave them scratch codes to another $2500.

The people running the scam had Indian or Pakistani accents and English was their second language.

Facebook is allowing this scam so they are the a knowing accomplise.

I received this email..

I had a charge on my bank account for hundreds of dollars and when I called the bank, as it was still pending, I was told I needed to have a "refund" from the company that took the funds. In the record it was labeled "Facebook Entertainment" and I called the # attached. This number said it was a "hacker" from Mali Africa and I would be transferred to someone who could replace the funds.

I allowed access to the computer remotely and lost 2400 within 5 days..The phone is no longer being answered and i have nothing left!

Gary D. Micheal is the name used by scammer.... They are calling from a friend's hacked email account acting like they are that friend and telling me they seen my name on a list. that I have won a grant just as they did and that they have already collected their money and it's all Legit.

when you call they send you a list of info they say is needed.

the list is most of the information needed to set up an account...

they cross reference your past conversations and use parts of your previous conversations and it's really quite convincing. until you step back and realize places don't just hand out money like that..
