A men name Mr James has been contacting my grandmother for a year now informing her that she has won 7 million dollars and car. She has been this men all of Social Security money and taking out pay day to pay this man for months. He has been giving false promises saying that she will get her prize soon. We her family has been paying all her bills to make sure she doesn’t get kick out of her place to stay. He has even went far enough to come to her house to pick up the payment from my grandmother. He makes her place the money on a green dot card so it cannot be traced. I fear for my grandmother life because he will not talk to us. He has not provided her any paperwork. He has not given her anything that can be traced. Mr James claims he that he works for a company but would not provide the company name. Mr James claims he has a website but didn’t provide it. My grandmother said he calls from different numbers and this is his last contact number 6468911328 a New York area code and we live in Kentucky. He also instructed my grandmother to not tell anyone her family and her friends of what they are doing. I do not want Mr James to hurt anyone else.

Type of a scam Government Grant

I was on X - Joana instructed me I had won the FB lottery for $10 million and a new red Ford pick up truck. She messaged me for a couple of days. I went to the X page. then I got a text from the FBI Director, Christopher Wray, and he talked to me for a couple of days, saying all I needed to do was get $600 by CashApp, Paypal or bitcoin to pay the delivery fee. His texts are not very professional - they don't sound like someone who is the Director of the FBI. Joana is now telling me how much she loves me, and she wants to deliver the money directly to me. She says something about downloading teh money onto a debit card then transferring it to my bank. I was scammed a couple of years ago in a crypto scam and lost $1200.
