Scam Description
I was contacted thru FB Messenger on 15 April that my name was on an approved list to receive a grant for $250,000. The person said he was agent Robertson Williams. Alls I had to do was send in the money to cover the clearance and delivery fees of $1,000. Of course he kept saying there were more fees to cover and taxes to pay so over the next 11 weeks, I mailed 1,240 in cash, a personal check for $600, a cashiers check for $1,000 and he did cash advances and purchases on my credit card in the amount of $6,011.
