Here is another scam.

Nov. 26, 2019 at 10:07 AM by info

"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~~
