Type of a scam Phishing
On February 22 I got a suspicious facebook chat message at 4 am US standard time from a friend on facebook that never sends me messages or rarely does. I awoke a 6 am to a message saying how are you? I told her I"m going great and what I was doing lately. Then I got a pic of a truck and she said she got a new truck. She said hope you" heard the good news." " I received my winning cash from the Global Fund Program have you heard about it? " " The program is set up by the world bank to help business owners, employed,unemployed retired, workers, disable, old , divorced buy a house, pay medical bills, taxes, with cash in the society and I got $65, 000 from the program. our names were randomly chose and I saw your name on the winners list too" . I was very suspicious but kept playing along to see what further information I could get .
I said what? does it give addreses? They said " I"m very surprised you haven’t received your wining cash our name were randomly selected among the beneficiary winners list to receive the funds, the program is legit and government funds approved." I said " the Global fund program is for fighting diseases in 3rd world countries" the hacker said" no that it the program is a compensation fund" and told me I will have to text the online claim agent.
They then said " Should I send you how to contact them ?" The courier service delivered my winning check to me I was excited" He sent me the 202-540-0667 number and said" send a message to the number right away saying you would like information about your unclaimed funds" I kept questioning and said did it say my name and I gave my name and the city I live." Sure it is that number I send you is the agent desk office number send him message his name is agent Wilson." I took a chance to call and it was a google voice number that gave the location to District of Colombia. and I know that legit government agencies DON’T use google voice. I was very suspicious at this time that it really wasn’t my friend. I then said I thought it was a scam and hacker kept proceeding me to call and told me the " Program is real and legit I told contacted my friend working ScamPulse.com" (BBB) "and she told me it legit before i had to proceed. They didn’t ask me for my bank information just some personal information to process the winning check" I kept saying how I now thought it was fraud. and hacker said " Don’t know what you are talking about the program is legit, I got my check"
I called the number of ( 202) 540-0667 and it said you have reached the google voice box of ( phone number given).
I hung up! I later got a text message on my phone saying Hello, this is Wilson Frank from the Bank Remittance office How my I help you"? I replied " who’? I played along and said " im calling to find out about some unclaimed funds" and I said " im not sure if this is legit., sounds like a scam"! he said " your full name please" I said" you are scammers’! I didn’t hear anything at all from them that day until the next day I got a call from that same number ( 202) 540-0667 that listed District of Colombia as origin. I just answered it but didnt say hello and they immediately hung up! Well , to prove how this is a total scam I googled Frank Wilson Bank of Remittance" and his name popped up everywhere! and here is the link www. 419scam.org What scares me is that these people infliltrated my friend’s facebook chat to reach out to me!!
I should have used a fake number to call them but I didnt think clear and now they have my real cell number, but I blocked them after they called and hung up. I also unfriended my friend on facebook and blocked her messages of facebook chat from her. I dont know if she is aware that someone hacked into her account!
