Below is the story of someone who almost got tricked by the scammers:
Guy going by agent John Mack texted from telephone number: 337-435-2103. He was using my friend's name and had me believing I was chatting with my friend. Very convincing... Too bad I gave my address and phone number in Messenger. Anyway, was doing good until he wanted me to pay to get paid. So I explained I live paycheck to paycheck, but perhaps would be able to do it next week. Enough time to report this scam to you asap. Thank you, Kimberly.
