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.

Called me and left a voicemail saying they were my student advisor and that my eligibility for the student loan forgiveness program was going to expire if I didn’t call back and verify some information.

Phone call. When we asked to be removed from the call list, he began cursing at me. 2028914734

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.
