They email me and said I won the lottery and gave me a WhatsApp number to retrieve my prize; their collect agent name is Bill Wilson. The other woman that told me about this competition name is lizelle botha; he told me that she has also won and she saw my name on the winning list when I ask her about her profile pic; why doesn't she got any; she tell me she remove it because of randomly calls and friend request
I have been contacted by the scammers and by my own dumb luck I gave them my info. Do I stand a chance of losing my identity? Is there away that I can block these people. They text me saying I get 500,000 from a lottery. Then they gave me three options and said It would cost 450 for the carrier to drop the money at my front door..I have been hacked before so I think I need to find some privacy or protection on my Facebook from things like that. Please Help!
What exactly did you give to them?
There is a Amanda Smith claiming you have won $2000000 and you must first pay R10000 for Bitcoin to deliver....please be aware she doesn't have a Facebook profile just a Messenger.
