There is NO 2017 2018 Facebook Grant Award Lottery or Promotion

There is NO "2017/2018 Facebook Grant Award" lottery or promotion. Therefore, Facebook and other online users are asked to delete messages or Facebook posts, which claim that they have won the same lottery or promotion. Also, they should not follow the instructions in the messages or posts. This is because the messages or posts are being sent by lottery scammers. Every month, thousands of the same lottery scamming messages or social networking posts are sent out by scammers to trick their potential victims into sending their personal information and money to claim bogus prizes or lottery winnings.

Victims of the "2017/2018 Facebook Grant Award" scam should report it to the police and should know that legitimate lottery companies will never ask their winners to send them their personal information, or send them money in order to receive their lottery winnings.

    I was just recently contacted by someone claiming to be Mark Zuckerberg,and was told I won the 18 Billion Dollars, but I had to pay 900$ for tax and a other $900 to the Chief of Fedx so my money was delivered to my door, he said the 18 Billion would be delivered in cash.

    Anyway I then knew it was a scamm and called them many choice words I couldn't repeat, Watch out for these low life scammers.

    Ya, I just got the notification that I won the 750,000.00 grant. I thought wow then I thought this sounds too good to be true which is why I checked here. Also, they wanted me to contact the Banco Atlantico to claim my grant which I thought to be a little fishy.

    My wife was sent a notice on messenger from a friend; thought it was real; unfortunately we did give them some personal info to them but when they wanted cash for our winnings.

    we felt it was a scam, we tried calling her friend, no answer and she didn't answer any more messages, BEWARE THE WOLVES ARE AT THE DOOR!

  • May 23, 2018 at 8:17 PM by an anonymous user from: Pittsburg, Kansas, United States

    They tried to pull it on me and my fiance. At first, we thought it was real even showed me a certificate. It was when they wanted a fee of 350$ sent to africa. That the red flag went up . So I checked the promotion they were running on Facebook was not authorized by Facebook. So I blocked them out and deleted them.
