Scamming - Fraud
I was contacted by a Williams Johnson via Facebook messenger claiming he is from BCDP United Nation Non-Profit Organization and I should send my name, address, age, phone, number, sex and email. He stated that I could receive money if I just send processing fee. Then he assured me it was legit. He called back and the guy had an foreign accent of an Afghanistanian and right away I knew it was a scam. I threated to turn this over to the FBI.
Remember, once you are asked to send money in order to received money, it is a scam. Do not be fooled by online scammers who make billions of dollars every year from their victims via these advance-fee scams.

Same thing happened to me! I messed with them for a bit then turned them over to cash app since they we’re trying to commit fraud through them
Yeh samething, man I know account has been hacked " Shack Ryan ' and mentioned BCDP, saying all is entitled and he received 50,000 ... I mean straight up you know when you are talking to a person you know by the way they speak and say things so that's the give up for me plus the ' send money in order to get money " funny little people
Someone has hacked a friend who sent me something about this.
Just received a message from a friend through messenger about this program. Conversation sounded funny so I reported it to the owner. Nothing but a scam!
Be careful, there is a Joe Williams on facebook who is promoting this scam. Supposedly recommended by an ex-FBI friend who said he received $100.000 after paying $3000 verification fee. So...I ask my friend to pay the verification fee for me, and offered to give him back 300% on the money he would be advancing. No luck. He wouldn-t do it. A first class scam.
I did the same. They sure were not going to send me money to help get mine. Lol it’s so stupid
They tried to get me today! I know better fortunately. I said I was going to report as spam and then I got blocked!
John Fled, I gave 4000.00 in apple cards also my bank information he took everything, my only connect I had was a phone number 712-526-5621 now there is no dial tone; his email johnfled4rael@mail is no longer there.

Also, they will some how heck someone else FB page look through their contact to pin down someone to target. They will then pretend to be that friend who you would trust and convince you to apply for this bogus a*s grant run your information and claim you qualify. That is when they will ask you to send money for processing fee to an email account. Please do not fall for this the last name this Con artist went by was Porter Wells.
How do you report the scam.?
