Scam Description
My friend was messaging me on Facebook. She found my name on a list. She was an old high school friend. We meet occasionally. She told me about a man who would give me money. My friend told me he is A Godly man. My friend got money. She did not give an amount. It was a lot of money. She gave me GFA. The mans last name was Mark Williams. I have been messaging him. I called no phone number. He offered $150,000 if I gave $3000 to the person that delivers the money. It was not a prize. The Government owed me money. The money was ready to be delivered. He did not say how to pay the money. I messaged my friend. I said that there is no way I can get this amount of money. The bank has locked my accounts. A scammer tried to get $70,000 about a month ago. I got an email from Life lock about a bill. I don’t have a Life lock account. I opened up my account on my computer. He took money from my saving and put it in my checking account. He wanted me to go to my bank and wire money to Hong Kong. I did not lose anything. The bank stopped it. I did not send any money on this Facebook Scam. I have had to change my cell phone number. A lady at the bank told me not to answer any more phone calls. She was right. They could not get me on the phone so they messaged me.
