I believe they hacked a friends page on fb pretended to be him. He said he received money from a grant free money of course! He gave me a number to text an all the business was handled via text message!! They asked for me to prove that I was a real person by sending a picture of my government ID! Then they informed me that I qualified all I had to do was send X amount of dollars to FedX billing then my check would be delivered!! It was based on the trust an honor system!!

Type of a scam:Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I have been getting messages on Facebook from a 'friend' who a know a long time ago, telling me he won $60,000 and saw my name on the list of winners. He gave me the contact number to text them and I received a series of texts telling me that I would get $80,000 in cash, delivered to my door. I just had to pay $870 in cash through WalMart. I just now got another fb message: "I just did a cross-check on the message you sent to me yesterday and I figure out that the name you said they gave to you was wrong, I think it should be xxxxxxx x. xxxxxxx."

I wished my friend from FB a happy birthday. He was responding with the usual how are you and then I said how proud I was of him graduating from college. then messenger popped up. He told me thanks and that he got the money from a grant. He then gave me a web page to go to. requesthttps://www.facebook.com/frederick.brown 804109. He had a legitimate web page as head of the IMF International monetary fund. You then accept his friend request and he asks you to give all personal information, which I did (big mistake) then he said he got alll the information he needed from fb. then he asked me how much money I needed. Since who I thought was my friend said he went to school for $50,000 I asked for that . To which This Frderick said to send them a delivery charge of $1500 to Adrienne Wald, Lakehead, CA 96061 and I was to only send money order or cash and they were really in a rush like they didn't want you to think about it. Then my so called friend, asked if I did it. I said yes but then I started to question him and doubted what he was saying and then he sent me a picture of the moey he got. It was a picture of actual $50000. started thinking about it and then called you.
