Scam Description
I heard about this on Facebook. United Nations Central Emergency Relief Fund or C E R F Program Funding. cerf.un.org. I am eligible for $75,000 Grant. They do not not want me to to send any money. They will mail be $5000. I get an activation code and I send it back. They will deposit the $75,000. I gave my name. I also sent a photo of my passport. The phone number for the person that is calling me is 442-259-3270. He sent me information on people that received the grant. I did all of this on my phone. They indicated they licensed by the FBI. That made me suspicious. I thought the BBB would license them. I have been a victim of identity theft before. I did not send any money.
