A friend of mine told me about her. That you can get a government Grant that you don't have to pay back. Well I signed up for it and she said I had to pay for a delivery so I ask how much is that going to cost she said $200 so I sent it to her and than she needed more money so I sent it and she said FedEx was going to deliver it to me I said okay. Now she is send me a fake picture and saying they got stop by the FBI and she said I need $300 more to have it release from IRS and I told her I don't have it it was supposed to be a $50,000 in a box to be ship to me so I ask her for a refund and she said because that was to activate my winnings. So what can I do about this? Thanks hope to hear from you soon and I still have got nothing yet.

Someone on messenger acted like my mother even used her account on messenger to give me a website saying they were giving grants for people in need when I contacted the person he asked that much a questions said he was filling out my application then he said I qualified. Then he asked for money $5,000 would get you 50,000 10,000 would get you $100,000. The all the way up to 50,000 would get you a million dollars that's when I knew I was being defrauded but what really bothers me is somebody has hacked in to my mother's account on messenger to lure me to that person. And it is clearly a scam. The person who acted like my mother gave me a website to contact which was a person I'll give you the website http/m.me/agentdunlapmark

Well it all started about a month ago. One of my Church sisters ask me about a free government grant that I really knew nothing about. Well I went for it but not being told about the money that I had to pay out. All together $3,000 dollars and yet no money . Suppose to be free. Now this the catch here, I called American Express to see the balance on the last gift card which was $500.00 and found out the card had already been used for a purchase at The Coach Factory in Jacksonville Fla. I can’t believe how deceitful people really are.

Received many text messages from (323)364-2134 claiming to be a friend of mine informing me that I qualify to receive a grant because I'm disabled. But they ask for processing and tax fee upfront. Sure sign of a scam.

Received call calling to test your eligibility for a grant for $7000. The person calling said wanted to ask questions for grant that doesn't need to be paid. Last call received was yesterday evening 1-16-19, around 7-9pm EST. I asked who authorized you to pass information and then I asked if they could send information in the mail and they seemed hesitant. They said that I didn't have to pay the money back.

I received a message on my iPad claiming to be from the Federal Government and Department of Human services saying they were helping seniors, disabled and others and seeing if I had received my share which would be $50,000. I messaged the person back only giving my name. He was saying I qualified and asked if I wanted to receive by check or cash. He also said a friend of mine had got his but I confirmed with my friend this did not happen.

I had received a call from 718-569-7268 that I had qualified for a grant based on my good credit.  But, if it's a grant, I shouldn't have to pay it back.
