Scamming - Fraud
The email messages or posts below: "I Saw Your Name in the Humanity and Poverty Eradication Program List", is fraudulent and online users should not respond to it with their personal information. Every month, thousands of these email messages or social networking posts are sent by scammers, in an attempt to trick online users into sending them their personal information and money, thinking they will receive a so-called grant worth thousands of dollars. But, it is all a scam created by scammers to trick their potential victims into sending them money that they will claim is for fees, taxes or some form of charges. Once the scammers receive the money from their victims, they will disappear and leave their victims broke, frustrated and betrayed.
Once again, online users should never send personal information to anyone in an email message, or send money to someone who contacted them via email message or on social networking websites.

It is a scam.
I was contacted by the scammers under the guise of one of my FB friends. The grammar didn't sound quite right, so I checked it out on this site. Scam! Thanks for the info.
Me too, when I started asking personal questions I got no answers, "alarm"

Just wondering if it's true or not that the federal government awards MONEY or a car .I have been sending money since June 14 and the agent keeps asking me for more FEES. I have yet to see the money she tells me it's mine. Please help, desprate!
Stop sending your money, it is a scam!
I received something like this today supposedly from a friend. Unfortunately trusted her enough to give it basic information to the woman she suggested. I asked what wad the name of this grant. The answer got wad that it's a government grant. So I decided to look it up and I got your report about this scam. I've since blocked all communications
A friend told me about this, she said she had done it and got 215,000. She said to text the message to a number she gave me that said want cash or some such.I got a text back wanting all of my personal information to see if I qualified under the Poverty Eradication Program, they wanted 2,000 for a temporary Tax document another charges, cash, mailed to them and they would send you the moneyplus a refund of the 2,000. She said she did everything and did get the 215,000 plus the refund. And said her other friends had gotten their money also,not supposed to tell anyone, Question, if this is a scam,why do they actually send that much money?
It seems your friend account was hacked and is being used by scammers to contact you and trick you into sending them money.Contact your friend via telephone or email, and he/she will tell you the messages are fakes because he/she didn't send them.Remember, a lot of online users' accounts are being hacked and use to trick their friends and family members into taking part in some scam.Also, once you are asked to send money to receive money, prize, or grant, it is a scammer attempting to scam you.
they have contacted me.. what do I do or say..
