I received a message through facebook messenger from Mike Robillard that inferred he had received a government grant for $100,000. I thought it was one of those "If it sounds too good to be true, then it is" moments and called Mike for more info.
He had no idea what I was talking about and suspected as did I that it was a scam and that his account had been hacked.
The message sender was actually NANCY HILL who is a Facebook member that supposedly works at Online claim agent who Studied at Toronto, Ontario and lives in Toronto, Ontario but is originally from Washington D.C.
Her message to me was as follows:
Hello my name is Nancy Hill of the Federal Government Grant, This is a new program put in place to help every citizens in improving their standard of living, pay up their bills, raise up their children, help ovarian cancer diagnosis and early intervention and to eradicate poverty for all the citizens. This program is supported by the federal government, Bill Gates and Facebook founder in helping the people of the England,Australian,Canadian,Europe and American citizens…….Are you ready to apply for the grant and proceed now ?
The poorly written and misleading text plus an unbelievable sum, ear-marked it as a scam to me, hence my call to Mike. BEWARE MY FRIENDS!!
