Retired and Worker Compensation Board or RWCB Scam

Scammers are cloning Facebook accounts and using the cloned accounts to contact their potential victims, telling them about a Retired and Worker Compensation Board/RWCB program. The scammers trick potential victims into calling them by claiming they are agents working for the federal government, and they currently have a promotional program or grant to help the retired and disable with cash.

To make their trick more convincing, the scammers will claim they saw your name on a list of people who are qualified to receive money. If potential victims fall for the scam and send money, the scammers will take it and disappear. The victims, on the other hand, will not receive the money they were promised.

So remember, always stop and think carefully when you are asked to send money in order to receive money
