Type of a scam Government Grant

A school mate by the name of Dannie E. Moore wrote a post stating that his company was blessing people for the new year. He stated type hey and when u did that he said to inbox him. I inboxed him and showed this paper with the logo of SBA on it. It showed ranges of money that u could get and the personal fee you had to pay to receive the money. He told me to select the amount that would work for me. I choose the 3000.00 dollar payment with a 200.00 personal fee. He asked did I have cash app I said yes. He then told me to send the 200.00 to process the payment. I did and then he asked for my emai. I gave him the email he sent a processing message to my email just for the transaction to state pending due to needing to pay a tax fee on the money. The tax fee was 355.00 I paid that just for him to say that I had been upgraded to a 10, 000 relief payment and I had to pay 405.00 to receive the payment. I asked what about the first transaction that I applied for and stated thats what I paid for. He said the transaction had already been processed and pay the 405.00 and I would receive my money shortly. I pay the 405.00 just for him to come back and say that I needed to pay a 5% bank policy tax to receive my funds. So there was 500.00 more dollars being asked for to process the money. I wrote the email address that the information sent back to me was coming from and told them I belive this is a scam and Im reporting them to the ScamPulse.com and FBI. They responded, "So" and that I should try and pay the bank policy if I wanted my funds. I asked to speak to someone and they said they do not do calls or video chats but gave me a txt number saying this is the only source to communicate with someone. I kept saying to Mr. Moore once I was asked for the 405.00 for the second payment for the 10,000 that I felt this was a scam he kept assuring me that it wasnt. And now I still dont have the relief payment nor will they refund my 955.00

Received a emailing saying I could recieved a disaster relief payment, I would have to send a certain amount to receive a certain amount. After searching to make sure this person was a legit person I agreed. She had me buy $200 in a bitcoin and gave me a code send to send the bitcoin to, after 10-15 mins the bitcoin was withdrew. So I was supposed to have money transfered to my cash app and when I received the email it was saying I needed to send in a additional $490 for a processing fee. When I refused and asked for my $200 back the girl was trying to tell me she would waive half of the fee and only have me pay $245, after expressing my concerns and telling her this sounded like a scam she tried to reassure me it wasn’t even going the extra mile in sending me a picture of herself holding her drivers license and telling me if I don’t receive my money I could have here arrested. I contacted cash app and told me it was also a scam and Told her that and she denied it being true so I stopped talking to her and she’s been trying to call me through the Facebook messenger at least once a day so far.

I received an email that look like it was from the IRS. When I open the email it was saying I was approved for a grant that I did not apply for. It also had a button at the end of the email. The email stated it wanted me to click on that button to verify data in order to receive those funds from the grant. I checked the senders email prior to clicking anything inside the email, and that raised suspicion. So, then I did a little bit of searching online for anything about SBA grants. And everything I was finding looked as if this was legit. But the sender‘s email just does not sit well with me so I decided to report it.

Type of a scam Government Grant

I have lost $1000 in a scam. I was replying to something on Facebook and was contacted by someone that claimed to be with the SBA offering Covid-19 assistance for seniors. If you sent them $100 they would send you $1000. I thought it was legit and after some convincing proceeded to cash app them $100. I was then told I needed to send more money to qualify, but that i would get more. This happened several times, each time I sent a higher dollar amount being promised more money. The last time I reluctantly sent money I asked some questions and realized pretty quickly i have fallen for a scam. I am very upset because this was money I could not afford to lose, and I won't be able to pay rent or my MLGW bill without it.

I answered a telephone call from “wireless caller” without looking at the phone number first. A man with a very thick accent was on the other end. I had to have him repeat himself to make out what he was saying. He asked for my husband. I said that he wasn’t in and asked if I could help him. He said that he was from the SBA and that he was trying to reach my husband because FEMA had referred him for an SBA loan and he wanted to send us out some documents. At that point, I said, “we aren’t interested in a loan.” I then hung up.

Do not fall for this. They won't release the company's address or real telephone number. Tried to get me to pay for fees. They say you won $150,000. They want your monthly income & mom's name. But not releasing a address or true company name is a sign of SCAM.

I received a "message" from a legitimate friend on Facebook, but I realized right away it wasn't really from her. She's a top academic and would never misspell a word! Or substitute "there" for "their," etc. The message said that SBA was closing and was giving money grants to randomly selected people. They said when they came to give my friend her money, they saw my name on the list!!!
