"Workers Compensation Appeal Board (WCAB)" Facebook Scam

Does Michael Mullen work for the compensation appeal board pandemic benefit program

Does a Government agent Kelly James work for WCAB or DHHS

I believe WCAB contacted me thru Friends Messenger, I fell for it. But now they are using my FB account to scam contacts and I am locked out. I cannot get in touch with Facebook. I want to stop them.

I want to report these people, they have taken over my FB password and account. I don't know what to do.

I fell for this, they took over my FB account and I can't get in to delete it,or warn my contacts.

This scam is still going around. I just received the following Facebook message:
I received $250,000.00 cash from the Federal Government department of Workers Compensation Appeals Board, do you know anything about this?

This friend's FB account has obviously been hacked. I just reported the page to FB.

(WCAB) (DHHS) Contact me on messenger today 9/5/2020 saying to give them information so I could get grant money I did give them some information cause they sent me the information through my friends account that I thought was her and it really was not her they hacked her account useing her name and picture I would like to know what I should do!!!

I have been scam by someone saying I won money from this site I should not have sent in eBay gift cards. I have their information. I have the gift cards. I had sent them, gave them the numbers on the back so far. I don't think they have used them. I tried putting code from back in it, said no funds on it, how can I resolve this problem Saundra E. I need help

It seems as if the cards have been used. Try contacting eBay for help. Remember, once you are asked to send gift as payment, it is a scam.

This is the TEXT message I received about the WCAB DHHS grant. I copied the website information and checked it on a couple of sites where you can scan the site for viruses, malware, etc. Both sites said it was clean and not on a Blacklist. I looked up the Text # for the "Grant Officials" and the name associated with the number is "Warren Nedved" in Federal Way, WA.
If the name is of an actual person, I doubt he knows anything about the scam.
The text I received was from 936-218-0873.
I was still skeptical so I searched online for "WCABDHHS" and found some search results that looked pretty legitimate. Scrolling down the page I found SEVERAL references to it being a scam. If I had only done the website scan or just the reverse phone lookup I wouldn't have known is a scam. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND INVESTIGATE EVERYTHING, NAMES, PHONE NUMBERS, WEBSITES, ORGANIZATIONS, ETC in any correspondence that says you could have money coming to you.
Scammers are getting pretty sneaky these days and with the health crisis they have upped their game.

Ok so on facebook messenger I got a message from a good friend saying she get a wcab payout of 50k she would give me a website or office location she said she saw my name on a list I asked her wheres this list, she said the fedex guy showed her, so I looked into it mire a found out it was a scam I msged her back and sent screen shots of the article, but she didnt have a reply to those screenshots, so I told her the fedgov doesntt use face book to advertise, and they specifc specific forms for you to fill out, she said it was some guy name kenneth moore she spoke to over the phone that took all her vital information Over the phone, then I laughed at her and tokd youre smarterr than that, then in the messenger status bar said the person is no longer on facebook, out of respect I deleted her msgs since she didnt want to be on messenger, I searched on facebook and she deleted her facebook profile, not even our mutal friends can find her profile, I know this girl pretty well shes like my big gullible sister,
I realize now that msg was sent to me by a malicious computational language program, once I cought on to the scam it deleted her identity off face book, wcab old computer system was not legally disposed of, seems tho it has surfaced in british columbia, attempting to steal identites of people born in bc and have never lived anywhere else, who in the bc goverment do I report this to, I cant find her anywhere on the internet and everyone I know says her phones not work working,

Is there anything that should be done if we fall for it and send them our personal information?

Is simple if someone steals your identity, and yiu leave the country even fir a day, the person with your identy will enter the country, when you try to reenter your country, you get denied at the border because thier computer says youve already returned to the country, the computer cant tell the differnce between you and the identity thief, its calked residential displacement scam, they take over your life in whatever country you were born in, in wcab case wcab is a califonia based business, california has a state abbreviation of CA, canadas abbreviation is also CA most people cant tell the difference between ca.gov. Or gov.ca the first on being usa address and the second one being a canadian address, seems that wcab old computer system has migrated into canada british columbia attempting to displace residents, and giving those resident denied at the canadian resident only one option. You live in california

It depends on the information you have sent. What exactly did you send?

I sent them a picture of me and my address. Am I in danger?

Just be careful going forward because the scammers will attempt to use the information you have sent to scam you. They cannot scam you unless you fall for their tricks.

I received a message from my cousin on Messenger indicating she had just finished dealing with the Workers Compensation Appeal Board [ WCAB ] program service and asked me if I was aware of the Workers Compensation Appeal Board (WCAB). I told her I wasn't and she said
it was a program that was assisting the Old, retired, workers,non-workers, youths,
business Enterprises, and Disabled, with cash. she said she had received her money and was curious as to whether or not I had received any money and if not, did I know how to apply for the program? I told her "no" and she gave me the following: hxxps://l.messenger.com/l.php?.u=hxxps://m.me/Lindafosterkeyl... also included the name Linda Foster Key. The site appeared very professional and I went along with it until they showed me the page of amounts "I was qualified for and the amount I had to pay in advance to receive it. There using MESSENGER actually surprised me.

Get messages from Bryd Stunner that I won money from WCAB. Also from old friend that said he won. I do not believe it is my old friend. They want $1000.00 fee to file paperwork bobbybzzz-att.net. Thank you

This has happened to me recently,I fell for it.. But the scammers weren't using Facebook they "spoofed my contact person and now my bank is holding me accountable for an amount...Please let people know this..The man name is james george ..Phone number..[512]862-2374..When I asked my contact to give me the name of one of thier silblings name as proof it was not given and they kept advoiding the question..I now know this was the"agent" I was being con by.!

C**p, do I need to clean my tablet?

a friend of mine said she had received 50000 and gave me the website to go to. I ended up sending $2800 before I took it to dollat general an found out from their fraud office that it was a scam; now I'm out of all that money and no way to get even with them.

I received a message from a friend on Facebook, he was so happy about this scam, WCAB had sent him a ck . I thought I was texting with a friend. we both changed our passwords . Anything else we can do?

There is no need to do anything, but to report them to Facebook.

Just got a messenger message from an old friend I had not heard from in some time asking how we were.
I replied saying we were fine and asked how she was.
She said fine and asked if we had heard about WCAB and what happened to her.
We sent her several short replies about our recent travels and some mutual friends to which she made some generic replies in which she referred to herself as 'us' (she is single).
We said we had not heard about WCAB but had looked it up and it appeared to be a scam.
She replied that it definitely was not a scam and that she had $200,000.00 delivered to her at her door. The wording of the messages was definitely what our friend would use.
We are contacting our friend to tell her that her facebook account has been hacked. Is there anything else that I should do to report this or protect myself from future scam attempts?

I had an old friend from Schools messenger account hacked and sent me a msg telling me to friend request a Kate Williams, who looks like a 70 to 80-year-old lady, I started it based on it was my good old friend, but I also started looking up the details online and it came up with your website, all that is above was the way they approached me too.
I have now blocked both my friends' false account and the Kate Williams, before giving them my details, but also msg'd my friends actual account and let her know, Is there anything else I should do to report this?

do you know this person, I've been contacted by this person

Barb

No, I do not know this person.

A friend who claimed to receive financial support from WCAB texted me to contact a certain phone number to apply for a grant. I texted the number and he responded right away. It seemed fishy. Is this a scam?

This just happen to me

I was contacted by a friend. How do I confirm it's a scam?

The person who contacted is not your friend. It appears to be a scammer who may have cloned your friend's account. Therefore, pick up the phone and call your friend to verify or ask the person questions only your friend would know.

I was contacted by a friend...so I thought at the time.
She has been alerted as well...

Christine Wells contacted me through Sheila T.

Crystal A Patrick contacted me through Grace Weaver

I have the scam on my messages right now. I have deleted the conversation 2 times. They get pushy right away!

hxxps://m.me/michaelsaam996 is the way they contacted me with also a clone of my cousins facebook account setting it all up

I was contacted by a high school friend about workers compensation appealed board and human health service.I was told my name was on a list and to contact Margret Clifford at 702-825-0631. Her Gmail address PwbMargretClifford-gmail.com

I received a message from a former high school friend. She asked if I had been contacted by the human services Compensation Appeals Board HCAB.

I was immediately suspicious because I haven't talked to her for decades. She mentioned receiving $100,000. I wasn't aware she was ever injured.

She also asked me if I had heard of an Agent Abraham Steven. I searched online for information & found scam/fraud warnings. I have not shared any information except that I am out of town in Tulsa, OK.

I then noticed it appears this account was recently opened. I have attached screen shots of the conversation.

I received a message on messenger from John Raymond claiming I was entitled to $150,000.00 grant. I would have to pay a $2,000.00 agent filing fee in order to get my grant in cash. After I told they it was a scam, I received a message text from Johnathan Morgan the CEO in charge of WCAB. They even used a contact of mine that I would trust in if she recommended me for something. She texted me and stated that she had never been in contact with me. So they are clever and use people that you know to try and lure you in to their scam.

I got a FB friend request from a previous employer recently. I was a tad suspicious because it was almost exclusively a work relationship, but replied because it sounded friendly, and I thought you had to already be FB friends for scammers to get your name. After a few exchanges via messenger, it became clear it was fraudulent - related to this employee appeal board scam.

My question is: I wasn't connected to this friend via any social media, so how did the scammer know that I had a previous relationship with this person? Also, should I now warn all MY FB contacts?

I have received non stop messages from someone who has hacked a friends name. They are selling me I have money that I need to send for ut I will ave to send money to get, my mom fell for this and I know this is a scam , My friend is getting a phone with no internet because she is tired of people calling her and her son saying she is sending messages. Don't fall for this , it is fake

HI World:
I just received one of these messages from a "so called friend of mine, indicating that I had won a grant from the above named agency. I think this should be reported to the Police and Facebook.

I fell for this scam. I am out of $450 for a delivery fee. I can’t believe I was this stupid! Don’t believe any of this stuff! No one is giving away thousands of dollars!

Let me just say I was to billable and fell for this. I lost $5000. The agent you talked to was Chris Aerts. I was contacted by a friend in fb.

If you are scammed by these people, how do go about reporting it. What happens?

Report it here to help others. Then contact the police.

I was one of the victims of this scam, it's good I was so quick to realize when a certain Mark Donna asked for the payment of shipping & other fees in order to
get my winning money.

Beware! Organization Name: Retired & Workers Compensation Board.

Is a Scam! We signed up and supposedly won $ 100,000 Dollars, we paid a$ 1,000 service fee and also Federal Tax's on the win of $8,500, Lost to us!

This is recent in the past two weeks.
