I mistakenly gave my full name and my email address, he asked for my internet provider the ID and password, but I said I didn't have one. The scammer message me back after I gave him my information and he claim that I was approved for the grant but didn't tell me how much. Then he told me I needed to send him 1,000 for the shipping fees, I told him I didn't have it right then so he kept asking other questions like, do I have PayPal. Then he kept asking if I could pay with a Apple card and to purchase one and take a picture of it and send that. He kept pressing on and on how I could send him the money and he needed it right then, and said the grant will expire in 2 days and it would go to a charity. I really got suspicious and stopped answering his questions, this happened on Saturday July 8, 2023. After I said no, I was sorry I couldn't do it, he asked for just 50.00 now and pay on the balance. He messaged me again on Sunday and I wouldn't answer back.

I am receiving texts from Paul Stephen offering me a government grant. He said I could pay $250 and he would pay $250, so that I could get a $5000 grant. He wants me to go to the store and buy an Apple card and give him the code off the back of the card. He told me to text him when I get the card.

This guy sent something through Facebook Messenger, My winning money will be delivered to me by 10am today.  He wanted a picture ID of mine that was clear so they could attach it to a certificate.  I warned him if I could contact the ScamPulse.com on him.  He tells me that this is not a scam and that he is a Christian.  He instructed me to send $500.00 I would get $50,000.  I know this to be a scam.

My niece reached out to me through Facebook. She said she received a grant, she told me to contact Daniel Seale with DGHHS. He wants me to pay $3000 for a $150,000 grant from DHHS. We communicate thru messenger. I am getting messages from my niece and him. I told him that I would have to verify that she is legitimate. He is pushing me. At one time he was contacting me in all caps. I told him not to contact me in all caps, but to use proper case. I know all caps is screaming. He initially sent me an online application, which I couldn't complete. So he asked me the questions one by one and I answered them. He gave me a winning ticket number. He asked me to keep it secret until my claim was processed. he keeps saying" Do you understand?" He gave me some ID.

Charles Kendig, lawyer, representing health and human services. Someone I thought I knew recommended I get in touch with this person, who got her 100,000 dollars from a program that helps people financially. I texted this person at 1am and he says I need to fill out forms, so he can get the money to me at my home address. I said I would get back to him this afternoon. Luckily, I came to my senses this morning.

Received a DM from Facebook messenger friend Pam **** ******* to contact Craig **** about a SBA grant up to $500,000 for $5,500 in prepaid cards. Went on SBA and Facebook to look for grants then gave them copy of drivers license, and address and they know I draw social security. SBA needs to protect that website.

Suppose to be a grant for people who need financial help .you pay so much to get so much. .i paid 300 to get 5000 then came back 200 to fedex for delivery. Then truck and money stolen had to pay another 100 then came back said 150 to fed ex for delivery. Still no grant and paid no more. Now they are saying 50 instead of 150 then my grant will be delivered. Mainly messages came thru messenger and i paid with a google play card this has been going on for almost a month. I quit talking to her tired of lies and promises with no grant I think her name is a lie also. She goes by CLAIRE D CRONIN SHE SAYS SHE WORKS WITH THE GOVERNMENT. I DOUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE SCAMMED BY HER

In facebook messenger, I got a message (supposedly) from my Aunt. She asked if I heard about CSBG? I said no, as I never heard of it. "She" then sent me a link to apply. It was great for her. I started to give info about myself and my husband, but then he wanted money to pay for delivery fees, etc. I was told I would be sent a big amount of money for community service help. I told him no thanks. I checked with my aunt and my aunt never sent anything!! She doesn't know how this happened.

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.
