Scam Description
Reporting this on behalf of my father.
An old acquaintance (most likely a compromised account) randomly messaged mentioning the DHHS and how he was granted $180k that he doesn’t have to pay back. He then linked to the facebook page of a supposed DHHS agent. My father then began a conversation with said agent and disclosed all of his personal information including a picture of the front and back of his drivers license, last four of his social, and how much he was making.
It was only after this that he called me and I told him it was most likely a scam. I checked the facebook page in question and there is nothing there besides the picture of a lady. I was only able to see it on his phone and I don’t have a facebook account but I think this is the link to it https://m.facebook.com/brenda.minnick.org
