I received a text from a person who said he was a classmate of mine in school and wanted me to know he had receive a gift in the amount of $150.000 from your Foundation and he saw my name on the list too.

He just thought I would want to accept the messenger text. I was contacted shortly thereafter by Carole Hediger. with the Foundation to let me know my name was on the winners list to receive $150,000.00. I would need to pay $500.00 to cover the necessary fees.

Received via email:

"Hello

I have been told I won $350,000.00 electronically by "2018 Mark Zuckerberg Foundation Program" I receive a Message from 'Paarnannguak K Olsen' and few days later by 'Jones Robinson' and Mr. Robinson have told me to fill out Information of my birthdate, where I live, Where I work and How much I make in a Month.

So, my main focus is that This might be a Scam or a Hack... Do I just leave Mr. Robinson alone?"
