"Facebook Freedom Award Lottery Promotion Agency" Scams

I have been scam by Freedom Award Promo and Block On FB

Facebook User Luther Wright from Jersey City sent me that message and was very pushy about me not receiving my $2500,00 and when I told him to stop scamming and get off my page? He got very rude and cursed at me. I believe he is doing this to several other people. So beware of this scam cause it is real and he is pushing it...

Someone has taken over my faceook I cannot change my passcode. How do I change it?

Google the following:
"How to recover my Facebook account"

I receive a winner list name throughout Hangout App about the same thing together with Facebook, but this time is with Micheal Hanes talking through a text and he same me a picture of a FBI label called"Notice to all Facebook Lottery Winnners", where it said that the money extra is for the third party to send the money.

Can you let me know about this? because I was trying to find information about this and I found out that my friend put all my information without telling me and I do not want to be part of an Identity Theft or where another will use my information.

I got a message from a friend saying that we had won money and I should send a friend request to Mark Williams through a link. I soon received a message from Mark Williams saying that he would check the list to see if my name was on it. Sure enough, it was.

After a couple of more messages, said that I needed to send $1000 to a UPS manager that was in South Africa collecting money for starving orphans by Western Union and he would authorize the delivery of my $2000000 within 12 hrs. I started asking questions and he sent me pictures of PCH winners, how convenient.

He has gotten quite annoyed with me because I haven’t sent the money so that I can receive the delivery of my winnings. I asked why it mattered to him and he didn’t respond, just said, send the money. Of course, I am not sending any money. I just wish that I could let him know how ridiculous he is. I am not paying money to get winnings that I didn’t win.

I am being scammed. This lady said she works with Facebook. And she said I won $1.5 Million. She said the computer pick my name. Plus she won't give me the right FedEx company. She gives me the drivers number. And I know they don't give their numbers out. Does this lady work for Facebook?

The lady is using this name Marissa Nicole Ostrander. Is she real or fake. They want me to send money to FedEx $750.00 . She said she works for general Agent in facebook. I am sick of scammers and hackers on my Facebook page.

She is a fake. There is no Facebook lottery or promotion, so please do not send your money to the scammers or thieves.

They asked me to pay $650 dollars on iTunes to be approved & then another 2 thousand to process the Certificate. That is a scam. A lady I don't know at all kept asking if I received my winnings & I said no because I have to pay for it.

It has left me short on rent. Keep away from Michael Lane they kept promising me after I pay 650 of itunes. Guess what a hidden cost of $2000 dollars to process Certificate. Don't trust this B*****d & saying he is trying hard for me what utter rubbish.

They just got me, my address and my drivers license. Now I’m so upset.

This girl named " Kendrick Lis Kate, has asked me multiple times if I was aware of the news on tv, concerning Facebook Freedom Award Promotion and that she just got delivered 150k, and a truck and that I should claim my amount as well to Agent Tony Lopez, and to call him or text him at this number 1-314-282-9997, and then she goes on to say" You have to be honest and sincere with him, he is very kind and honest man of God" Hope this helps! Thank you!

I received a message from a friend saying that "our names were on the list." I hadn't received any notification and it immediately looked fishy so I looked it up and found this page.

My friend gave facebook freedom award promotion personal info and also allowed them his facebook email account and password along with all personal info what should he do

Change his Facebook password and be careful going forward.

I just totally got the Facebook Freedom Lottery scam got me all worked up.. give them a picture of my license in other information now I'm frayed that I gave information out, what do I do?

Report it to the police.

Hillary burgess is claiming to work for FB CEO wanting my info; the security team needs to stop this BS.

A person named Lynnette mirramontes just sent me message that she saw my name as a winner...told me to contact Mr Jeffrey Bailey of Facebook with photos you posted here
Please explain why?

I think I have been scammed; a person said I had won money; got a bit of information and a photo of my id then told me I had won $80,000 but they didn't ask for any money, what do I do now? Someone help me asap.

It is a scam or fake. Do not send any more information. And, they will ask you send money before you can get your so-called lottery prize. Do not be fooled or let them trick you.

I am Katarina Ulugia I just Received a message from Jerry David Yeomans that I am one of the winners, but he wants me to send $1500 first, and they will deliver my winning prize in 6 hours.

Please I need help if this is fake

It is a scam. THere is no Facebook lottery and once you asked to send money in order to receive a lottery prize, it is a scam.

HI, a cousin of mine msg me about his winnings from Facebook Freedom award promo of $100,000,00 he claimed he saw my name on the list and asked me to contact a James Mark John to claim my Award. I was trying to think why would my name be on this list. I remembered entering a lottery some months prior so I contacted this guy. He gave his details of who he was etc, he checked this list said my name was there and mentioned the lotto numbers I had done.

I wasn't sure actually I have forgotten about that lottery but he asked for my details no accounts only photo ID name address etc. Then he asked if my cousin mentioned a fee that I would have to pay I said yes now I have not sent any money to him. He says when I'm in the store with the money he will contact me where to send it. I do not intend sending anything to him. My question is, I gave my details like address, facebook password, email address, DoB, photo ID copy of drivers license. What do I do about this please advise me. He messaged me still I haven't answered.

Report the matter to the police since you have sent them your drivers' license. Do not let them steal your identity. Also, change your Facebook password before the scammers hijack it.

Hi, a woman friended me telling me she saw my name on a winners list that I should contact facebook claims officer Mr. Michael Hamizlee to claim my winning prize of $400,00 in a facebook seasonal awards lottery promotion. I filled out a form giving Mr. Michael hamizlee my personal details.

Sent money to claim my winning money realized I was being made to keep sending money. I started to ask a question to the claims officer, also the woman who friended me to tell me about this seasonal awards lottery promotion as by now I was getting asked for a bigger amount money to send so I could claim my winning money.

I then started making my own inquiries started believing this was a scam, looked into FedEx co. who was to deliver my winning money, we would email only, finally asked the claims officer if he could return my money in goodwill and I would send money back.

Throughout I was warned that I could not tell anyone about this winning money. I went back to the bank reported the money I sent, but the money was received so I in return could not get my money. I was advised to report this to the police. The receptionist said that there was nothing the police could do. She suggested I go to a website netsafe and comment on their website, get information about scams.

How can I protect myself from when I have given so many details. A way forward would really help. These people are still contacting me right up till now somehow so I will have to try to block them (scammers).

I sorry to hear that you have been scammed and thank you for reporting it here. Your information will help prevent others from becoming victims of those scammers.

Remember, once you are asked to send money in order to receive a lottery prize, it is a scam. Therefore, never send money to receive a lottery prize.

If the scammers continue to contact you, just ignore them and as you have said, try blocking them. Also, remember the scammers cannot rob or steal your money unless you send it to them.

This has happened to me too and they are still in touch with me although I block them the same Michael Hamizlee and Tania Mathew.

I got a message on Facebook messenger from one of my friends saying they got $100,000 from this lottery and said that my name was on the list. He told me to text this number: 7314510974. Obviously, I didn't and decided to look this up. This info is just FYI to see how they try to get you. I think my friend has been hacked and I've been trying to contact the real person to let them know.

I just received an identical message from someone who said "Have you heard about the good news? I won $80,000 in the Facebook Freedom Lottery. They gave it to me for support and I wondered if they could give it to you because I saw your name on the list"!

Hmmmmm I wasn't brought down in the last shower!

just got a similar text from my 75 yo girlfriend....wanted me to touch this "agent" photo since she saw my name and he will get my $$$ FAST! Of course I didn't......she's going to tell me about it in person tomorrow. Don't know what I can do to help her, do you??

The message was not sent by your girlfriend. It seems scammers may have hacked into her account and is using it fraudulently to trick her friends into falling for their scams. Try calling your girlfriend on the phone to verify.

I had a friend on Facebook pressure me to contact a Brenda Pike today (I assume my friend's account was hacked). Here is the profile Brenda Pike is currently using:

https://www.facebook.com /pike.brenda23

Watch out.. the lottery winnings this profile is offering are a scam.

I was contact by Brenda Jean Pike, she said she was from the Facebook Freedom money award and I needed to contact her to claim my free money. Of course, I was a little scared to do anything with her but I did ask a few questions. I told her that I didn't trust her that I thought it was a scam and I didn't want to be hacked. And she said that this was a government grant for people who was retire, homeless, in debt, or need help. I asked her how I was going to get my money. She said she needed some personnel information first. My full name, mailing address, date of birth, which I gave her.

Then she said she needed my phone number for a text message. And ask for a photo ID of my license. That is where I stopped answering her I told her I couldn't send her a picture ID my phone had die and it was on the charger and I would sent her my ID after work. I never did today because I went to my bank to see if this was a scam. And they told me it sounded like it was and the best thing for me to do was to block her on my Facebook and my instant messenger which I have done both.

They also told me to google it to see what I could find out about it. And, I came to your site. Now I wandering is there anything else should I do. I know all the information I gave her she could find on my Facebook page anyways. So I don't think I am in any harm but I just need to know for sure. Can you tell me that. Terry

Hi..I just received message from one of my friend on fb about this person jerry david yeomans.it's a scam.

Yes, it is a scam.

Received via email:

"This is a bold Scam, one of your FB "friends"???? Dale Edward Chenoweth will start up a conversation with you and claim he saw your name on the "Facebook lottery winners list and ask you to contact a person named Dwayne Denice Colton who will check this "so called" winners list and confirm you have won a large sum of money! He will then ask you questions about you and eventually ask you for hundreds of dollars to pay for UPS to deliver a package with your money! Do not send them any money nor any personal information!!! This is a vicious SCAM!!! REPORT THEM TO FACEBOOK AND BLOCK THEM! "

There is someone I accepted as a friend on Facebook last night, and told me that I won a Facebook lottery worth $950,000. I told him if he could scan the check and in less than a minute he was able to upload the scanned check.

Don't be fooled, there is no Facebook lottery.

Debbie was a friend of my who said she saw my name on the list.

I was contacted by Robert Kevin Arnold Sr. that I won 152,ooo.oo from the facebook/powerball and I needed to send money to get it. Send money western union to DANIEL OGUNLESI CITY ILISANREMO STATE OGUN 23401 COUNTRY NIGERIA HAS ANY ONE ELSE GOT THIS One.

I've just been contacted asked for my password to facebook and wants a payment for me to receive my money ?

Hi, everybody just think you should know that there is a Facebook(FB) scam going around, yes it the lottery scam again and a woman who called her self LISA MARIE PICKET claiming to be FB claims CEO, use the old friend trick and get them to message me, saying that they won and saw my name on the winners list. I know it was a scam and just now l had fun telling them I knew of them for some time now and have reported them. They are not talking to me now; that's funny.

These are the names of the people that contacted me. Samuel freeman and Benson J Emersons and Helen Mclntyre. Anyone know any of them?

Nahale said I'm a winner and I should contact Wightman Robert Richard...send me the Cashier Check first then we talk, if not let the * walk.

I have been contacted several times by so called Facebook claims agents. Problem number one is the contact always is initiated in the VERY early morning like between 2am and 4am. I'm no rocket scientist but I don't think this type of position is keeping those type of hours. Second, the first one (who I let get a little further with me than the others because I was curious about what game was being played) even had Fed-Ex involved being the courier involved in the delivery of the monies (little did she know I am a former Fed-Ex employee).

She even had bogus cropped pictures from Fed-Ex Commercials showing people receiving packages and giant checks. All I had to do was pay $300 delivery fee for Fed-Ex to deliver the money to me. When I told her that Fed-Ex had no such delivery service in that price range, that her pictures were bogus and I personally knew some high ranking personnel at the company and threatened to turn her information over to them she said "go ahead I'll be here waiting".

Obviously these people have no fear of getting busted and I think it is a shame. I have had two other attempts well. Both female and both trying to start things off conversationally. BE WARE PEOPLE THEY ARE AFTER YOUR MONEY.

Look out for: LORALEE ANN CORDEIRO

Got one last night saying I won from online claiming agent at facebook vip account.Th person's name says Smallcanyon Jerome.topic is Facebook freedom award promotion lottery.
