Hi, I was privately messaged via chat on my number, unfortunately I was so excited that I gave all my personal details and was given a number flp/fb/081/010/2015 and right at the end was told I would have to pay $800 for courier insurance etc.

I am very dubious as I wasnt emailed, jus messaged via chat. The guy's name is Williams Renell Ray.

I was first told about this by a friend that isnt close to me on messenger, Linda Hall. She claimed she saw my name as a winner when she claimed her prize - I havent sent money yet because I'm very dubious.

I would be very thankful if this was checkd out.

It is a scam. Do not send your money! Once you are asked to send money in order to receive a lottery prize, it is a scam. This is how the scammers make their money.

Why do Facebook allow these scammers to advertise as part of their organisation.

They blatantly place things on Facebook, with the facebook icon, saying they represent the head of facebook with a FB icon. Telling you to beware of scammers, often in an ungrammatical text. If I were Facebook team, I would delete each one

If it was possible, Facebook would have removed all illegal content from their website. Monitoring such large website for fraudulent activities takes time.

So, it is important that people do their research before taking part in any activity, especially the ones that seem too true to believe.
