"Hello - I was contacted on Sunday at 6:36 PM by someone 'pretending' to be my friend. She never uses Facebook, or not much. I knew it was a scam because I got the same thing the first week of October. I was so 'excited' and almost got hooked...thankfully my sister was home visiting from BC and I called to ask her something. She told me a dear friend of hers fell for the same scam and lost of $75,000.00 and had to claim bankruptcy and fell on very hard times.
I've copy pasted the messages between "the fake" Carol, and myself. I hope these people can be caught. I received a phone call at 7:10 AM a few months ago and I 'strung' the caller (a young man) along & all of a sudden a woman's voice said, "You need to die." I said, "What, who are you have you been listening to our conversation?" She replied, "Yes, and you need to die and stop being a burden here on earth." Do you like to drink water when you take your medication for your disease diabetes, she was not Caucasian and had an Arabic dialect or another accent. The young man told me he had family back in Iran or someplace. I've made notes and just never got around to doing anything about them. I documented all the questions I ask, and his reply. He was only 25 years old so it was very easy to get him side-tracked.
Finally the woman said, "I'll call you at 2 o'clock AM your time, and tell you how to kill yourself, you're a burden on this earth and need to die." Honestly think I've been a bit traumatized from that conversation, right not I feel like I'm going to have an anxiety/panic attack just typing this email. Thank you for your time. Blessings~~

Received via email:
"I received a message from a long time friend asking if I had heard about the UNDP Grant. I said no what's it about? He responded with a rather long paragraph about the US Government giving grants without payback and he had received $50,000.
I waited a day or so to respond and he made several attempts to get a response from me and then he wanted to know if he could give me the number where he applied. From his grammar I knew it was not my friend. My response was I am waiting on the $500.00 you owe me it's been over a year and about time you paid me back since you now have money. that was the last I heard and he blocked the thread. I informed my friend about what happened.

I received such an email today from someone who identified himself as Edwin Williams at gred@sfsu.edu. His email was a little different, but not much He referenced it as (UNPAP) 2017. He asked me to contact Helen Kuan at 601125433169 or union.w@my.com with my name, address and phone number and I would be given the information on how to proceed. Once that was accomplished $1,500,000 would be sent in $7,600 increments each day thru Western Union. That amount was allegedly the maximum amount Western Union allows to be sent. The money was to be sent though Western Union in Malaysia.
I replied that I and also a relative had been scammed out of thousands of dollars (my relative actually sent another scammer $35,000 total toward a possible #1,000,000 grant through IMF (International Monetary Fund). Worse however, they asked for another $55,000 at which time my relative said he
just wanted his money back because he could not send any more money. The person he was dealing with (Micheal Smith allegedly) made a "deal" with him to have someone lend him the $55,000. That amount was transmitted to my relative's bank account with instructions to forward it back to the person who was to receive the $55,000. He withdrew the cash and proceeded to send it to the named party using Western Union and another company which also transfers money. The $1,000,000 in cash was to be delivered to him via UPS within 48 hours. When the money did not arrive, my relative became frantic, and Mr. Smith was not responding to his calls, texts or emails. A week later he received a letter from the bank that his account had been frozen because of questionable activities, which he later learned was money laundering. The bank refused to talk to him about it, simply telling him his account had been closed because of suspected money laundering.
Moreover, $10,000 of the money was $55,000 was counterfeit and the bank demanded immediate repayment of the $10,000. He did not have the money to repay it and he now faces criminal charges for money laundering and bank fraud. Even the money already on deposit in his account (money paid to his wife for support of her 3 children by a former husband). When my relative tried to talk to the bank, they refused and suggested he "retain a lawyer".
Ironically, the reason my relative fell for this is that my cousin, who is a minister, told us about the website where this scam is. It is on Facebook even now, a year after we became involved. It stated that "grants" were available through the IMF for people who were deaf or had severely restricted hearing, with which both my relative and my husband are afflicted. The amount of the grant was dependent upon the amount of fees the intended grant recipient wanted to pay, i.e. $500 would get a $150,000 grant, $1,000 = $200,000 grant, $5,000 = $500,000 grant. No mention was made in the website nor by my cousin who later confirmed he did also pay the $20.000. He said the balance of the cash ($129,500) after the $500 the $20,000 he later paid, was delivered to him in cash within 48 hours, and to this day he still maintains he received $129,500. Also, the $500 was sent to a U.S. address which caused us to believe it was legitimate.
So, anyone who falls for this or any other ploy faces not only the loss of any money he/she sends the thieves, but might lose much more than that money, including the possibility of facing criminal charges against him/her.
I am going to attempt to forward your article to both Mr. "Williams" and Ms. Kuan so they will know someone is watching.
Does anyone know of someone who has been "scammed" in this or another way and has been able to track down the criminals involved and/or gotten any of their money back? I doubt it but, if so, I would like to know.

I was informed by a friend on Facebook. My name and picture was seen on a winners list of United Nation. I didn't give anyone permission to use my name or picture. The scammers called me two months ago.
I refused to give him the personal information such as address, age, birthday or credit card number.They used telephone number 501-523-1719. I hung up on the agent william smith. Who besides the cybercrime authorities (IFC) do I notify about this fraudulent crime?.

    We use AT&T and spent hours on the phone with them asking them to identify the caller's true name, the city/country of origin, block the number and/or anything else they could do to to help us track the person down and they finally said there is nothing they can do. Good luck with your provider. Maybe you will have better results.
