We received a message in Facebook messenger to our business page. They are wanting us to click a link and fill out a complaint form. I never clicked it so I do not know where it leads nor what information they are hoping to get from me.

From what I can tell this address is fake and there is no complaint support team. We have never received a violation from Facebook about trademark violations and from what I can find is that they will remove a post first. Then if repeated violations they will temporarily suspend a page.

Originally, I was contacted via Facebook by a woman named Christina Eskridge. She said I could get money from the government for free and was very convincing. She said she was from SBA.GOV and needed my SSN and DL license. she even said she needed access to my credit card website. Which I found weird. like why would an SBA employee need access to my credit card account? Anyway, I gave her my SSN and Driver's license because she appeared to be legit. But now that I have been online talking with her for over 9 hours. I know she is not legit. So, I am going to change all my passwords and hopefully have her reported.

It started with a secured text from a friend ******* **** (FB/Messenger).

Hi how are things going?

Did you get your Stimulus check or federal grant?

Texted no and I don't know anything about any grant?

He texted he had not received his Stimulus yet, but got the grant.

If you want to apply I can give you the agent I used. He texted her link-

http://m.me/2linda.124, Her name was: LINDA MCGEE MCLELLAN,

I had no reason to question my friend, he would never steer me wrong, so I contacted her and applied, she needed a photo copy of my driver's ID & basic info. Then reported I was awarded the grant and need to select to amount. she sent the application fee cost was 1800 for 90,000. I text back my friend on this, he texted "I paid" the application & title fees, then he texted I received 100,000 check, 24 hrs later by FedEx the next day. I texted back and how did you send the money? I used Apple money cards, you don't want to send a check or give any account info.

12.22.22 11am I GOT 1800 in cards and waited for agent to text, she had me send photos of cards and texted you will need to be patient while I submit the approval and setup FedEx shipment, approx 4pm, she text back and texted would need 2000 more for the certificate before shipment, which I would have to do the next day and did, 12.23.22 again while waiting I called another friend to tell her about grant and she stated you are being scammed, call your friend, his account may have been hacked, so I did and we found I was not texting my friend, but a hacker with a identical account. I call the sheriff and made a report, Case: SO22-0738, Monroe County Sheriff, ([email protected]).

While sheriff was taking down information, the agent texted she needed me to send 5000 for a IRS certificate/ I texted her that before I would send anymore money, I would need conformation in form of her driver license (she declined). Sheriff told me to call the Apple ph no# on cards for balances and report fraud with Apple, was told money was transferred to apple account(s) and will need police report & contact info from sheriff, they gave me an email address to send photos and case no# 10189452578. They have flagged cards & will investigate.

I reported to FB "someone impersonating someone" and got a email the next day, FB deleted /blocked hacker text from my friend.

I emailed back that I can not delete my copied driver license from "shared media account" sent to agent, and have not received any response yet. The next 2 days I spent contacting the bank, Insurance, license, lawyer, and purchased and set-up Life lock/Norton360 protection as I am very nervous that my Identity has been compromised. I am in-process of reporting incident to Insurance, and FTC currently. I have also, been searching online as the agent did send a License, which is fake. I did find ph# (571) 261.8306 is Hallandale, Virginia. Agents photo: using is (Fed.Gov EPA retired ) GINA MC CARTHY, The FTC should contact her as hackers/scammers are creating FB accounts with her name and other names with her photo

(I have copied on my phone while searching). If Facebook is monitored contents, when why can't they red flag a scammer? I wanted to report agent, but why'll trying to lock-out as much as I can on my 2 Facebook accounts: ***** ******** ******* * ********* ***** ****** ********

I am having a issue with my messenger on ***** ********, my husband's only comes up, I am not getting the agents/scammer texts

even when I log him out.

The above was sent to: Report fraud.ftc.gov case # 155065091

01.02.2023

I have a lot of photos, sending some, if need more, can call later today as I have been working on this report all night and need to get some sleep.

***** ******* **** ****** ****

I was targeted several times today on Facebook Marketplace through the Messenger App. Numerous buyers contacted me, asked for my cell phone number and then asked if they could send a verification code to make sure I am a legitimate seller. This was reported by ScamPulse.com to be a method for these people to try to get into my accounts.

This number is sending messages to my family in Chile saying that there has been an emergency and asking for money and or personal information. They have also contacted other of my Facebook contacts that have small businesses and have their phone number public on Facebook. The scammers use WhatsApp and stole my Facebook profile picture to send the messages and my Facebook profile picture.

This was sent to my friend "Rusty Bucket" through his messenger and then he sent it to me, but I knew it was a scam. Something similar was mentioned on WAFB CHANNEL 9 this morning. This is a new scam going through messenger as of yesterday at 4:15pm when he sent it to me, but it was not him that sent it. I replied to him "not hardly because my brother died in 2005 during katrina. I told him to change his password because he had been hacked. Pretty smart for a 72 year old, don't you think :)

I received a messenger message from a friend. He told me to contact them and I sent them my name and email. They immediately sent me a video that I didn’t open and they called me using messenger. I looked them up on Facebook and there are many in this fraud. I believe they are located in Florida. African Americans in more than this one scam. They have many fund me pages using children and diseases such as cancer.

Caller stated that she received a text message from a message she opened that she thought it was from her friend on Facebook. His account got hacked and she keeps getting texted messages about a grant they can offer her. They will give her $ 100,000 dollars but she only has to pay $2,000.
