Mr Manuel Franco Scam - CF Powerball Lottery Donation

There are unscrupulous people using several social media and email scams like the one below to impersonate Manuel Franco CF to obtain personal financial information from individuals. Manuel Franco CF will never ask you to share your financial information electronically. If you have received the same emails please delete them, or social media messages when you receive them. And, Manuel Franco CF, a 24-year-old Wisconsin who won the $768 million Powerball jackpot, will never ask you to send money in order to receive a donation from her.

Remember, once you are asked to send money in order to receive a donation or lottery prize, it is scammers or thieves attempting to trick you into sending them your money.
