Mr William Thomas of the SEDA Corp said I was awarded 100,000 dollers fed. grant , I was told to send 340.00 dollars in prepaid cards which I did. Then came a long drawn out conversation for which he tried to extort more money from me. It finally ended with him wanting me to take a picture of my debit card, front and back and send it to him. This whole ordeal has been going on since December of last year. I've come to the conclusion that I am not going to receive the grant and I am out 340.00 dollars I will never get back. I am not going to send my debit card information over the internet to him.

Got a text randomly today saying I was eligible for a SEDA lutheran grant. Didn’t apply for a grant nor have I looked into one for almost 5yrs now. Although I have family that is lutheran none of them like me so I knew it had to be a scam.

I got told that my name was on the SEDA Government Agency list on FB & that i am eligible to claim money from this person on FB (FB Links Below) & also my friends i know personally say they have claimed the money & its all legit, but I'm really suspicious about this person, for they asked me to buy a $500 Steam wallet to activate it, so i can get my claim. Now my social media & email has been compromised by that person, where now i have to change my passwords.

A facebook friend of my Aunt's contacted her with news of a special governmental grant for housewives if you contact an 'agent' via text. She did so and they replied with a very fake sounding name (George Frank) and that they worked for a program called SEDA and could provide her with a grant if she gave them information like name, age, occupation, mother's maiden name, etc. She provided everything they asked except the id because she isn't good with technology, and asked me for help. I put a stop to it, blocked the number and facebook friend that sent her the information.

Contacted by a friend via Facebook messenger. She asked how I was doing. She told me that she won $150,000 in a drawing. She couldn’t believe that I hadn’t been contacted as I was next on the list. She wanted to give her agent my contact info. Since I didn’t respond, then she gave me her agent’s info: Agent Wesley Thomas.

I received a text message from a friend who said she received $50,000 from SEDA, which was hand delivered to her door. She asked if I had received my check since it was #38 on their list. I thought this was suspicious, but I pursued it - I've "played" with scammers before. So, they started off by general questions, then more specifics - like address, cell phone - which they had!! So, then I checked the BBB website & found this organization is a scam. I called my friend & she never received any money & had been hacked in other ways also. SO, I replied to the number, who was starting to be pushy, that my friend did NOT receive any money & I was reporting them to the BBB. NO FURTHER RESPONSES RECEIVED.

Received a Messenger message from what I believed to be a friend asking if I was contacted about being randomly selected by the State Economics Development Administration (SEDA) financial assistance program. They are helping the Semi Retire, Retired, Widow, etc. I wrote back stating that it sounded like a scam. Then received a message back that it wasn’t a scam and they got $38,000 and that they saw my name on this list also. At that time I just didn’t write back but the next day received a message that I should contact the agent Mike Horgan at (407)906-8193 to check to see if my name was on the list still. I was gullible and called and it ended up being voice mail. Left a message that my friend stated that I should check. About a minute later received a text message. Yes indeed I was still on the list. They needed information, name, email, birth date, etc. I then received a return message that I would receive $40,000. Then the next message received was that I would have to pay now $100 shipping, $100 insurance, $350 taxation. Thinking this didn’t sound right decided to actually call my friend which I wish I would have done from the beginning. I learned that they had received a virus on their computer and haven’t been on Facebook for awhile. Of course they felt bad about it. So I didn’t respond. Then received another message asking if I was still there and I replied no as I just realized that it was a scam.

An acquaintance of mine contacted me to say she had just been given $40,000 from a branch of the EDA, SEDA, and that she saw my name on the list of people SEDA had money for. She urged me repeatedly to text my name to 720-627-8368. I did not, but I did send a text asking for name and purpose of phone contact. Bernice Walker, claim agent for SEDA, said the government was randonly awarding prizes to citizens and that I needed to text my name to see if I was on the list. I did not, yet I was still told I was to be given $58,000 upon supplying a lot of info by text to the number. I then blocked that number and have begun to alert various agencies. I suspect my acquaintance of being in on it, since she keeps sending me messages wanting to know if I've gotten my money yet.

My friend called me and told me that a company called "SEDA" was offering $50,000 for disabled people. Since I am disabled and unable to work (with a yearly income of about $11k), I asked her how I could apply. I was told to text the company with my interest at 203-357-5967. I did and very quickly received a reply text saying "Congratulations, your name was chosen among many others to receive $50,000." I replied "How do I receive it?" They gave me a choice of cash, check, etc. and I texted "check." Then, they wrote back asking me for a lot of personal information and asked me to include a picture ID issued by the government. That is when I got nervous and called the ScamPulse.com to question this. Doing a reverse check on the phone number, it is a Stamford, CT area code and the number is VoIP. I think this is a scam. I do not give out personal information to anyone.
