He said would be here in 9 hrs for delivery. Has. Flat wants me to get cash card for 150.00 to get a tire. Then tells me second day. Cop has pulled him over for the cash. He needs 3500.00 cash card for that. Sends me all these fake pictures of him trying to change a flat tire.But e-mails me both times. But no Fed ex driver ask either for a cash Apple card twice.

LUCKY NUMBER :FB-225-7736

TICKET NUMBER :FB-172-60

SERIAL NUMBER : 99352748$#1014

So kindly let me know if you have written it down"

I wrote and he used my Verizon account to order 4,000 thousand dollars worth of phones and I bought itune cards and amazon cards.

Just ignore the scammers or thieves and do not send them anything or follow their instructions.

HI My name is Anna, I have been contacted by Mark himself saying I won the Facebook lottery and I lost money and he disabled my Facebook account because I won't do any more money and do what he ask anymore.

It is a scam, there is no Facebook lottery.

why doesnt facebook do somethink about these people who are claiming your a lottery winner. when I joined facebook I had to verify my information and dont they know who works for them I am sick of all the scammer on there.

I used to have a little trust in people before I got on the internet. now I dont trust or believe a word anyone says on the internet. and there not just asking for a couple of dollars, they want hundred of thousand.

Rule number one never send anyone any money on the internet that you dont know and especially if you are on a dating site; there are more guys pretending to be females then there are females.

there one thing to be heart boken but to be heart broken and broke that another thing and once u do do it all your chats are about sending more money.

look up romance scams in ghana, those people dont have no heart or feelings. and if someone tells u you won something then there is never any fees to get your winning. if it cost to get your winnings its a scam.

The fake software companys are just as bad as everybody else, they will throw messages on your computer that your drivers are out of date ect. they will claim to be a microsoft company and u cant understand a word they say.

and if u have to have them install it for you, they will start telling you they can fix your computer for 300 dollar.

They start to forget about installing your software and all they want to do is charge u 300 to fix your computer.

also if u just go to search and type in your question you will get your answer right then and there. god blessbess everyone and have a great day.

I really want to know whether was there an on line facebook international pool promotion drawn on the 7 august 2018 at 12.00pm by facebook pool authority? Please i need an answer

No, it's a scam. I have won it about eight times this year. 2 times on week and today I won it again for 600.000.

Liar liar pants on fire.

No, there is no such promotion, it is a scam.

I received this in my messenger:

It is a lottery scam being sent by online scammers or thieves. Just delete the email and help others by sharing this article with them.

I get these all the time in my email.. I have replied to a couple to see what they would say. Then they ask for money as a "processing fee" because so and so person is "Stuck at the airport and needs x amount of dollars to get through Customs"

I also get some saying I need to use Western Union or MoneyGram only...no I'm not Laundering money. A Lottery prize, you don't pay any money in advance that I know of anyway. LOL I got one the other day that said it was from "Dr and Mr Donald and Melania Trump and Family: Ha ha ha ha Yeah Right...

I have another scam artist to your list, her name is Donna Ingram, she was supposed to deliver my winning funds of $650,000 on Friday march 2nd, 2018 and she never showed up. I want her arrested. Marlana.

I received the following by Facebook messenger:

"Your Facebook profile shows that you were selected as a lucky winner of a grand sum of $800,000.00 which your profile was randomly selected through our electronic mail extraction system from our company Samsung for some time now. Are you now ready to make claim".

I played along and now they are requesting $450 moneygram be sent to some chump in missippi. Beware!

Some guy Adam Wilson Tucker is telling me this as I speak, saying I've WON this lottery

Susan Ann Alice that works for Facebook told me that I won 650,000.00, but to send money to someone that isn't a Facebook employee and I'm thinking I'm getting scammed; can anyone find out if her page has been hacked and if she really works for them.

It is a scam. There is NO Facebook lottery so there is no need to find out if she works for Facebook or not. Never send money to anyone who asks you to do so in order to receive a lottery prize. This is how scammers steal their victims' money.

Don't fall for anyone representing Facebook International Pool Lottery. Beware of anyone asking for money in order to receive your winnings!
Facebook does NOT have any Lottery or promo's.

Diane Ann Wall, does she work at facebook H.Q. office. She told me that I'm a winner of a lottery. Batch Number FB/8056490902 WINNING NUMBER FB/575061725. Is this true?



.

No, it is not true. It is a scam.

The newest is on messaging from Samsung stating you are a winner of 250,000.00
Agent name Thomas Mark. Asks for information then sends award certificate says pending until you wire 500. Either moneygram or WU.

I'm Tony, they had a John O' Toole Jr. form Facebook text me on my phone and said I won the lottery and I need to send $450 to get my winning. I just want to know is it true. I've been scammed out of $1100 that someone told me that I won the lottery before from Facebook.

It is a scam. Once you are asked to send money in order to receive a lottery prize, it is a scam.

I have been getting the same one by 2 people Guillermo and a Christian Marlon and they're still texting on messenger.

I just got a text saying I won a whole $500,000.00 US dollars and he sent me a picture of his ID and a letter for the Facebook lottery claiming agent. He wanted my name number email and a couple of other things. So I immediately pulled up FB winnings even though I knew it was a scam. And sure enough it was and I text him back and told him I knew it was and he hasn't text back but his name is Guillermo Hernandez so just watch out it's all a d**n scam.

I just got the same email from this Guillermo:

-- end of scam or fake message --

Yes I got a message saying I won 950.000 on Facebook promotion, is this true. They said my name was picked. Is this lotto real?

No, it is a lottery scam. Do not send your information or money.

Just received what looks like a legitimate email from Mark Zuckerberg, CEO Facebook Group Promo working with the FBI (James Bcomey) about being one of 20 lucky winners winning over $1,000,000 with ticket, reference and serial numbers. A scam?

Yes, it is a scam. There is no such Facebook lottery or promotion.

I have been contacted for a sweepstakes in partnership with facebook and the government. They have kept after me for months. I fell for it last fall because I was so desperate. After they rooked me for over 4,000 I finally stopped. They are still after me. I have saved all the texts and receipts when I sent them money. If it can be used to stop them I will gladly give it to you.

VickI.

I was contacted by 3 Facebook Lottery claim agents; they say that I win 650,000 American Dollars in the Lottery held in Facebook Head office in California. They also send me the copy of my Lottery Certificate in which my name is also written and also I provide them all necessary details for delivery of my price. They ask me to come to California for completing all this process and receive the price money. But as I told them I belong to Asia Pakistan and have an accident few day ,SO not able to come to California for this purpose. So they tell me to deliver the delivery money to deliver my winning price from Pakistan, they said that 445$ I have to pay via western Union or Money Gram then my package is released. I want to know it is true.

No, it is not true. It is a lottery scam.

Someone keeps texing my phone and saying i wone 500.000 dollers to pay 150 dollers for my prize to be delivered to my home over night please let me know. The phone number that is sending thease messages is 1-224-572-8666.

Received via email:

"Facebook Federick Smith co founder of fed ex giving grants after you pay him?"

I have received message that I have won 850000 dollars in samsung promotion. I need to pay 2050 dollars for delivery and 350 dollars for handling files. Is this a legitimate samsung promotion?

No, it is a lottery scam. Do not send your hard-earned money to the scammers.

But what if your friend received the cash such as one hundred fifty thousand dollars as promised ?

The friend that told you that he/she received money are scammers and not your real friend. Scammers are hijacking and cloning Facebook users' accounts and sending their friends fraudulent messages.

To ensure that you are talking to your friend, try asking him/her questions that only he/she knows, or just pick up your phone and call your friend.
