Francis Joseph Divis contacted me two months ago on a promise and guarantee of approval for a grant. Shirley Jefferson referred me to Divis. She lives in Boston, MA. I actually know her as a friend from my hometown. They use a private Facebook page and communicate through Facebook Messenger. February 11, Mr. Divis was to have delivered to me my grant papers. I sent $500 on February 10th. It was to be a next day delivery. On February 11th, Mr. Divis contacted me via Facebook Messenger to say that my UPS courier was on the way. Then he contacted me 2 hours later to say that the UPS vehicle was in an accident. He requested another $500 to have the package re-shipped via UPS. I refused, but he continued to say he was being honest and would have an additional $10,000 for me for the inconvenience. The phone number for Mr. Divis is also connected to Shirley Jefferson. I tried and contacted her. She has not replied back since the initial hello. I told her what has happened. But once I mentioned him, she has not replied. To any law enforcement or agency, I'm still in conference with Mr. Divis. Because I'm sure he is going to contact me about a second delivery. Please help. I truly believe that the person or persons involved are younger relatives of Mr. Divis and Ms Jefferson. Possibly college students in North Carolina and Florida. Mr Divis and Ms. Jefferson both are over sixty years of age. I sent the $500 via MoneyGram to James Moore, Jr., In the Durham North Carolina area. When I first talked to Mr Divis he tried to get me to MoneyGram to Florida.

Well?  What was the excuse when the "new" check with "extra" money didn't show up on time?  Postal Strike?  Incorrect authorization signature?  And how much "extra" did they offer this time for another $500 "inconvenience?"

This is all over the internet, all you had to do was a quick Google search and you could have read all about it on Ripoffreport.com.  You got scammed- TWICE!  Learn your lesson and move on with your life.
