On 09/05/20, I was initially texted by a friend who told me she received $150,000 from this program called the US Poverty Eradication Program. It had really helped her and she thought it could help me too. All I needed to do is text 678-786-7734 and ask for my benefit. So, I texted the number, and asked for my benefit. A woman named Lois Roberts texted me back and said she needed to ask a few questions to see if I qualify. She asked my name, address, income, do I rent or own my home, my email. When she got back to me, she said I qualify for $150,000. She would get my documents together. We went back and forth a little bit. Every text ended with "IN GOD WE TRUST". She asked a few questions about me, which I now recognize is all part of the con game. I didn't hear from her in a bit, so I texted her and asked what the hangup was. She told me that she was dealing with the Department of Revenue certification and needed $3000 for the fee. I texted my friend and asked her about it. She said she paid it but got it back on top of the $150,000 check she received. Lois had me send the $3000 to [email protected] (Ron Hauhe) via PayPal as friends & family. I thought it odd, but thought maybe Ron was a director or something. We went back and forth a while until it was verified that the money was received. Then she asked for $6000 more for the IRS certification. I texted my friend about that, but she said she got that back as well. She said something about insurance, but never mentioned an amount, and I thought she was thinking about insurance on sending the money. I told Lois I did not have $6000, so she asked me how much I could sent. I agreed to $1000, and she had me purchase two $500 American Express re-loadable gift cards. Then she had me send photos front & back along with a photo of the receipt. When she received that, she said she was putting it on hold. Then she asked for the rest of the money ($5000). I had to do some real scrambling to get the rest sent. She had me actually send cash to Manuel Salgado, 644 S Knott Ave Apt. 115, Anaheim, CA 92804, UPS 2-day delivery (it was a Friday 9/11/20) in double envelopes and then the UPS envelope. Once it was confirmed that the money was received, she talked about getting my final documents together. Then came the big one: $30,000 was needed for the insurance (20% of the $150,000). There was no way I had that kind of money. I went back and forth with Lois on this for quite some time. She got the amount reduced to 17% ($26, 462.00). But, she kept at me. I also had pressure from my friend. They wanted me to take from my IRA or borrow against my home. I refused to do that, even though my friend assured me I would get it all back. I just could not risk that much. When I asked for my $9000 back, Lois said she could not do that because all of my documents are already done except for the insurance. We went back and forth for quite a while. She kept at me to the point I was feeling harassed. I finally said that I was not willing to go any further. I blocked her number. But I have printed out all of our texts, but it is 82 pages. I do have a copy of the cancellation of the insurance. It is the only thing I have that has an address.

A friend on Messenger (Facebook) supposedly asked me if I had heard about the U.S. poverty eradication program. I told her no. She claimed that she received $115,000 from it, and recommended that I contact the agent before the program closes. I asked her for the contact number and she sent it to me: (678) 786-7734. I texted them and supposedly a Lois Roberts replied and asked me for my marital status, occupation, age, how many credit cards I have, whether I own or rent, and my monthly income. I gave all this info, but no account numbers. I was congratulated and was told that I qualified for $115,000, and was asked if I wanted cash or check. I was asked for my address which I gave them, and told them that I wanted a check; I also gave them my address. I was then told that I would receive my check via UPS within 48 hours (that was at 6:06 PM Wednesday 7 August). I texted back and asked if they needed any money up front. I was told that I would have to pay a "Tax Clearance Fee" so I won't have to pay any big taxes again when I start using my check. I asked how much that is and I was told $2000. I told them that I wouldn't do anything until I check this out. Of course they said "That's OK"...
