BFAG Facebook Scam - Government Financial Assistance Group Home Categories Scamming BFAG Facebook Scam - Government Financial Assistance Group 36 36 18.11K 1 4y ago 2021-10-03T03:08:14-05:00 4y ago 2021-10-03T03:29:19-05:00 Online Threat Alerts A few days ago I almost became a victim of the BFAG Facebook scam. The scam, which claims to be a so-called "government financial assistance" group, used a good friend of mine's FB account to lure me in. I filled out all the requested information, which I should have not done, and at the end, they asked for $2000 to pay for the delivery via UPS or FedEx when the "money" arrives. Of course, I reported them to my friend, and then posted on my FB account about my experience. If I hadn't been through a hurricane, I would have never considered even thinking about this. Please let everyone know that if someone tells them they saw their name on a federal program's list for assistance, it is a scam.If you have any information about the BFAG Facebook scam, please share by leaving a comment below.

She had actually received $120,000 that was delivered to her door. The cashier's check was good and she has used the money. She did have to pay them $1000.00 for taxes, etc. I contacted them to see what this was all about, never intending to fill out their form. I asked several questions about their "so-called organization, where they get this grant money, etc. They did not answer my questions but simply pushed me to get their form filled out.I'm still asking questions and can say this is so poorly responded to by them. The puzzle for me is what do they get out of this? Yes, my friend paid them $1,000 for so-called processing fees but she did receive $120,000. That's a lot of money. I'm hoping someone can enlighten me as to what this is really all about.an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userFeb 14, 2024 by BFAG Facebook Scam - Government Financial Assistance Groupan anonymous user from: New York, New York, United StatesShe didn’t get ANY money.

I didn’t believe her and I still don’t and I think it’s all just a big scam it seems to look that way anyways. It’s not very fair of people to send messages like that when it’s all just a big fat lie!

From that time up to now, I communicated with her via Facebook (her picture showed up)She said the government gives away money to retirees, workers, and old and disabled people kind of thing. I was sceptical, but because she was my teacher and I thought it was not possible that we would scam out of me. She shared with me a link saying a contact agent named Williams Joseph Mark now just follow the link with pictures of FedEx trucks and she would guide me through. I got a link and I sent that agent my name, phone # and address. Then that agent sent me a message saying hold up while he was checking whether or not I was eligible.He then sent me a message that I am eligible, just provide info and my info is safe with them. I saw a feature that asked for info. Full name, home address, DOB, Marital Status, Own a house or rent, Phone numbers, Valid email, Occupation, Your monthly income, Good clear picture of your ID card. Here we go, I know it for sure that it is a scam. As I said I saw this before, so I asked my teacher that it is legit. She said it is and she keeps asking me about it like pushing me to rush a process. I felt weird. I sent my teacher telling her that I think it is a scam. She said it is not. Fortunately, I did not give away any further my info. Is it a scam anyone???!!!

an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userSep 9, 2022 by BFAG Facebook Scam - Government Financial Assistance Groupan anonymous user from: Norwich, England, United KingdomA few days ago I almost became a victim of the BFAG Facebook scam. The scam, which claims to be a so-called "government financial assistance" group, also used a good friend of mine's FB account to lure me in. I thought I was talking to my friend & shared a link showing the BFAG Facebook scam… Then it came up in FB messenger that they- the impersonator- could not be contacted! I reported them to my friends of friend, and then posted on my FB account about my experience….

The messages they send are not well-written as if English is not their first language. Check the profile before responding to the messages. If the profile is completely blank or in the messages they give you some lame excuse like, "I have a problem with my old profile so I quickly create a new one", then it's a scam. Report them for impersonating a friend.

an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userApr 5, 2022 by BFAG Facebook Scam - Government Financial Assistance Groupan anonymous user from: Downtown Redmond, Redmond, Washington, United StatesHi, I have never heard about BFAG before till one day, my teacher recommended it to me. From that time up to now, I communicated with her via Facebook (her picture showed up)She said the government gives away money to retirees, workers, and old and disabled people kind of thing. I was sceptical, but because she was my teacher and I thought it was not possible that we would scam out of me. She shared with me a link saying a contact agent named Williams Joseph Mark now just follow the link with pictures of FedEx trucks and she would guide me through. I got a link and I sent that agent my name, phone # and address. Then that agent sent me a message saying hold up while he was checking whether or not I was eligible.He then sent me a message that I am eligible, just provide info and my info is safe with them. I saw a feature that asked for info. Full name, home address, DOB, Marital Status, Own a house or rent, Phone numbers, Valid email, Occupation, Your monthly income, Good clear picture of your ID card. Here we go, I know it for sure that it is a scam. As I said I saw this before, so I asked my teacher that it is legit. She said it is and she keeps asking me about it like pushing me to rush a process. I felt weird. I sent my teacher telling her that I think it is a scam. She said it is not. Fortunately, I did not give away any further my info. Is it a scam anyone???!!! Be careful!!!
