Type of a scam Government Grant
I’m 77 years old. I got a Facebook Messenger message from my friend. I called my friend and she knew nothing about it. I contacted them and they said eligible for a small business grant of $150,000. They texted me a picture of the grant. On the check it doesn’t have the $150,000 on it. He wants $500 to pay Federal taxes on the Federal taxes. The more you send him the more you get. The worst part of this is that they hacked my friend’s Facebook account, so I thought I was talking to my friend. "My friend" gave me the text number. When I called her she knew nothing about it. They continue to text me. I was scammed before, and thought it was legit, so I don’t want to be scammed again.
