He used my friend (*******) phone and social media profile to contact me on Saturday 20/Apr/23 ($100) and Sunday 21/Apr/23 ($25), and unbeknownst to me until Sunday evening when I talked to the real *******, he was posing as my handicap friend ******* ***** on Facebook (FB) and CashApp.

On Saturday, he (posing as *******) asked me for money for dinner, bills, and such. When Cameron (the imposter) requested $100 on Facebook using my friend's FB profile, he gave me his (Cameron's) CashApp handle. I replied and said that I wasn't comfortable and asked how he knew Cameron and what he was going to use the money for. Cameron the imposter used my friend's FB profile to reply that he helped ******* and had a "good heart...and was VERY helpful" and to say that he would take the $100 out and give ******* the $100 for dinner ("pizza"), bills, and to replenish his bank account.. In good faith, I sent ******* the $100 through Cameron's Cash App handle. I recommended to ******* (actually Cameron the imposter) that he get his own CashApp handle, and I said that I want to give money directly to ******* and indirectly through a friend.

On Sunday afternoon, he (posing as *******) asked for more money. I asked how much, asked how much the Saturday pizza wash, and what he used the money for. I initially told him "Sorry I am not able to help in this case" since I gave him money the day before and was considering it odd since $100 should be enough for *******'s (who temporarily lived in a Rehab facility at the time under good insurance). He replied that $25 Saturday was used for pizza and the rest going to bills and account replenishment (*******'s account) and that the bank account was still deficient. He then asked for $50 and sent "*******" CashApp handle. Since $25 wasn't that much and ******* supposedly had a CashApp handle of his own, I sent $25 (half of the $50 requested).

I did not realize that Cameron was using my friend *******'s phone, FB profile, and bank account information (and making a fake CashApp profile posing as *******) until Sunday night when I spoke to the real *******, my handicap friend. According to the real *******, the imposter Cameron has scammed *******'s mom and one of *******'s other friends.

A phone call came through at my job about a week and a half ago from today, I said my name and thank you for calling how may I help you, the person on the line used my nickname and asked if I still use my *******, I said yes, they hung up. About 2 nights, I got scammed out of my ********* account by an account that was supposed to be an old friend of mines, they were saying answer this riddle correct and you get 1000 dollars and I answered it right. They sent me a whole process of giving an email to replace mine on my ********* AND ******* account. Then after I was supposed to do that they sent a link for me to confirm, I hit the link that they send multiple times. And then my ********* account got locked out and now when I try to authenticate to get back in my account name is changed and the phone number is different so all I have is the possible last 4 digits of this hackers phone number which I think i recognize from the previous phone call. Now the account is trying to contact all of my friends and I’m telling everyone to report now that I don’t have access to the account.

Recently I received some messages via Facebook Messenger from someone pretending to be one of my relatives. This person was telling me about some monetary grant from the Community Financial Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and in order to be eligible, I would have to give them my full name, click on a link to an agent via Facebook, and pay a $500 delivery fee. This same person also said that when I received the money, I wouldn't have to pay it back. I believe it's a scam.

Caller said they were a granddaughter and needed help because they were driving a drunk friend home and hit another person. Call dropped before they said what type of help they needed. Caller called back and picked up where they left off but the call dropped again. Caller never called back thank goodness because my family member truly thought it was their granddaughter and would have sent money or whatever the caller asked for.

They posed as a person I knew a few years ago, offering to help navigate crypto currency. They talked me into buying 2000 worth, when the profit was high they told me I had to pay 3600 to get my profits out. When asked any questions they got defensive. When I tried to see if I could wait to cash out to get the funds they canceled my account and said I would have to pay another 2000 to get another account.

Reported receiving calls from this number.

Saturday 10/29/16 at 9:30amCST my Dad received a phone call call saying that Kyle was in a car accident and that he need to call 515-421-9058 because Kyle needed $900.00 bail money to get out of jail. My Dad called that number and spoke to “Kyle” (which wasn’t his grandson actually named Kyle) and he said that he had a broken nose and that he was in a car accident and that the lady in the other car was pregnant and was taken to the hospital. Then they put another person on the phone who said they were “Police Officer” (which wasn’t true) and said that “Kyle” needed $900.00 bail money and that the money would be returned. My Dad hung up the phone and did not give out his information. Please inform the new's media as my research on the Internet is showing this type of scam is spreading especially to the elderly...Thanks.
