Scam Description
The scammer was using a friends identity to message me through Facebook. I would get a message 2-3 times a day asking about if I had signed up to get “this wonderful” grant money. The red flag for me was that my friend for over 25 years never spoke like that. I played along on the website in a chat form and that’s when they asked for the fee. If I sent $1000 via Fedx I will in return get $50,000. I have a pix of some of the conversation. I stop all commutation the. Change my password on FB, also did my friend.
