They tried to set me up too
I knew it was suspicious when I started. I googled "Wolverine FFL Club" and found your OTA web site. My message was different from that shown. It did not ask for all the PII requested in the example message and offered $100k to 35 people. I replied to the message with the link to your webpage on this subject, both as a deterrent to the phisher from sending additional messages and as a "rub your nose in it" thing. It was a multI person message, and I hope the other recipients received it as well. Thanks for the webpage. LOL Chris in Spokane, WA 9.9.22
What do I do if I sent my info already before reading about it being a scam?
Never give your ss number to anyone but bank in person workers!

I have someone right now they first texted me about a week ago just saying "Good morning" and then nothing for a week then they tried calling me 2 times from 16693196074 I did not answer as I don't answer unknown numbers then they started texting me again with "Would you like to collect your winnings"Im still texting with this idiot I'm going to mess with him and just waste as much of his time as humanly possible all for nothing. The name they gave me is "Torres" haha I'm gonna s***w with his mind so bad he might just stop trying to scam people... hahaha
The name they used is Charlie Thompson this time. I've noticed a lot of different names used in posts. This is definitely a scam to give them money. Creative I must admit but be sure to google them and read them posts. This is not real. Whoever the real winners are they should be notified.

I received this text and the agent said I had to get a vanilla gift card for $50 take a picture of the receipt and send it to them says scam all over it to me just keeps going on and on about how I should trust him and I will get my money well I did it the first time when they said I was getting $50,000 I got a $200 eBay card a $500 Nordstrom card took the pictures of the receipts they said that was the money I had to pay to get my money released then after that they said the money was in route by FedEx and the FedEx truck was stopped by the IRS and I would have to put out another $1,500 in taxes on the $50,000 to have it released well I wasn't putting out another $1,500 so I was ripped off for $700 now I just received one yesterday saying I was one of the people whose cell phone was chosen to get $20,000 and I have to get a $50 vanilla gift card and pay a $50 tracking number fee I didn't do any of it
I got an identical text message just with a different name, they're "so-called" specialist was vince joshua. They're not even smart enough to come up with a name that at least sounds believable. Lets say someone did win that lottery and wanted to help people they wouldn't make it seem so shady. This number has also been calling people pretending to be a debt collection agency of sorts.Ping these dirtbags location and get them thrown in prison where they belong as someone's lil but boy instead of them trying to rip of some old lady that just might be so humble and filled with love and empathy for people that she won't see it coming and end up with nothing and not even somewhere to be buried when she passes. People that are comfortable with something like that ain't people and should be shot and hung to bleed out like an animal
Got a text yesterday from 620-412-1083 with the same message offering me $4500 as one of 500 people.Other ask is to send my info to Lucas Guzman at 408-758-1534.So annoying!!!
They are offering 4000 and a picture of my D.L.
Mine is offering 40,000 to 300 people. Every other detail matches perfectly. Disgusting scammers.
I recieved a text message stating the same request but the random phone give away is $50,000 each to 500 random phone#, stated to the contact that this is SCAM and he is still texting me contact name is Brad Harrison 8043169941 after contacting him he call you from a different phone# 8312239064 like it's a group message and the other contact information is a number assigned to him and no one else.
