Report Attachments
On October 17th 2015,
I was contacted via Facebook buy a facebook friend request by someone whom I already know. however, I didn't realize that I already had her on my friends list. the perpetrator faked an account with the same picture. anyways, she immediately private message me asking if I got my money yet I told her I had no idea what she was talking about.
The message went like this :
Basically, we talked about how each other was doing.
Then she said I'm fine doing great and very happy and excited.
I said oh yeah? Then she said did you not hear what has been going on for a few days now?
I said no I haven't. then she said this: have you heard about the IMF help commission is a set of organization set up to help people financially with money all over the world to take care of kids: buy houses, pay rent and lots more.
(The IMF is a real foundation however, they service countrys not individuals.)
She said for me to make a "claim" TODAY!
I asked her if she had the money now. she said yes. so naturally intrigued, I asked if she verified the funds at the bank.
she told me almost immediatley YES.
She said all I had to do was add Juan as a friend and make a claim.
"Juan" had me add him to make a "claim" I did to find out more.
After the add. He messaged me with "are you here to make a claim?"
I said yes.
then he asked me to provide the following:
Full name...........
Mothers Name.................
address..........
income....
job title.........
ect..
then "credit card limit"
**************************
So I sent him fake info.
He said he needed me to moneygram the money to him. TODAY.
(Proccessing Fee of course) Amount of $700 and the delivery man would deliver the money in 5 hours from the claim.
I immediatley became suspicious.
I asked him how the money is tranferred..
He said, Moneygram. (RED FLAG!!)
Then he added:
For security reasons and due to the mix-up of some
numbers and names, we ask that you keep this notification
strictly from public notice until your claim has been
processed and your money remitted. This is part of our
security protocol to avoid double claiming or unscrupulous
acts by non-participants of this program. BE WARNED.
You are advised to keep the news of your winnings private
and confidential. Do not share the information with anybody
or Group of people until you receive it for security reason
and it also Against the policy guiding this so take note.
Creepy, right?
I then reported this message to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission)
and to ripoff report.com
Special things to note:
* I asked her to call me and she didnt want to due to a virus on her phone.
* The facebook page that was made up had a very blurry picture as a profile pic.
