The Global Fund Help Commission United Nations Poverty Alleviation Scam

On Facebook, there is a scam claiming The Global Fund Help Commission works with the United Nations and 146 countries to help alleviate poverty. They claim that the Fund was set up to help people with student loan debt, home loan mortgages, people with disabilities, etc. I was messaged from someone that claim she saw I was in financial distress and she said that they might be able to help me. She told me they gave her $70,000 to help her financially and she saw my name on the eligibility list.

I asked her who do I contact and she gave me a name that I could contact. The name she used was Lisa Sola Apats, his name was Mike Bruce Richardson. He was supposed to be the claims person for the commission. His profile was so impressive that I thought it had to be real. He said yes they could help me if my name was on the list and it was. He asked for my address, telephone number, then told me their policy was that I needed to send them $430 for the claims processing fee. That was a red flag for me, but still I thought it might be real and I am so desperate! I asked if they could waive that fee or take it off the top of the $70,000. They could not.

I contacted Lisa and asked if she could help me. She said she could send me $200. She sent it supposedly to the claims department so now I only needed to send them $230. I thought it must be real because why would they do that? I told them all I had was my rent money and I was counting on that money or I would become a homeless disabled person.

Mr. Richardson assured me that they were sending the money. Of course they didn't and they blocked me but I took pictures with my phone of his profile and the whole conversation. It was my rent money and now I maybe evicted and what will I do if I get evicted from my home. I have no money to go anywhere. I will become a homeless disabled person! I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Please stop this scam and report it to The Federal Trade Commission, The F.B.I and anyone that can investigate this fraudulent activity. Please help to stop this from happening to people who are already having immense suffering. Thank you for your time.

I received a text today from agent David frank and he wanted my information and I told him that I worked for the government and the texts stopped. His phone number is 3024390731 and I blocked them from calling me. Instantly, when I said I was reporting to the authorities, the texts ended.

Also a lady name Anderson Rhonda on Facebook informed me that she was a recipient of these funds and I should call to claim my money and when I did she quit inboxing me and I blocked her as well. These people are crazy.

Same! I have been talking to someone for 10 minutes who told me the same speech. And she asked me if I got $70,000 from united nations help commission because I'm in their list. She also told me that she got the same sum too and that's changed her life. Then, I'd have to join them for getting my share. I was looking for information about that aid when I found that article and your story.

Guess, I was lucky a bit. I'm sorry you lived that bad experience. Hope God and good organisations will help you.
That's actually my only contribution. Thanks!

Received via email:

"I was contacted by a "friend" on facebook telling me I had won a Global Funds Program prize & she gave me the number to call. Long story short, it was a scam.

I thought I was smart enough to avoid these kinds of scams. The phone number I was given was 1 (202)540-0667 his name was Frank Walter and if I sent him $900 I would get $70,000. "

I got a message from a high school friend, she said she saw my name on the
list; she said she had won 200,000 dollars and it was delivered to her house.

It sound to good to be true, I needed the money but could not afford to pay 1200 dollars for delivery fee.

She said it was real she had got her 200,000 dollars, and she would pay $500 of my $1200 because she did not wont me to miss out.

So I took my rent money and pay my part. after they received it then they said I had to pay $1500 for the certificate fee, the money would be delivered in 4 hours; when I told them I didn't have any money they keep sending me text that the money was ready for delivery just as soon I paid the 1500 dollars.

I still hear from them this started 5 days ago. Is there anyway to get my money back. I need to pay my rent. If it will help I an send you my text messages. They have my name, phone number and email password.
