Scam Description
I’m 68 yrs old. I received an IM from my friend on FB who said she got a grant and my name was on the list and asked if I had been contacted yet. I said no. She said I was still on the list, and I had won $200,000 but needed to pay $3000 for the Fedex delivery fee and the clearance tax. I called Agent Frederic Scott. I said I don’t have $3000. He asked how much I have. I gave him my name, address, phone number, and mother’s name.
