"Received text through Messenger that had been hacked in one of my friends Messenger saying this is a government grant given to basically anyone who needs it for $150,000.00. Very pushy, very beggy, repeatedly asking me to give out my name and address to them and they would see if I qualify for the grant. said I would have to pay the taxes and shipping first before receiving the $150,000.00 - Continually kept coming back at me with texts like "whats up?" "have you done this yet?" "let me know if you have done this yet?" Kept saying I was a winner and that this was not a loan and did not need to be paid back. In the texts sent to me, it said as follows: "My name is Victoria Julie Woods and I am the Agent in charge of the Federal Government Grant. A Grant is an award of money or other assistance that does not need to be paid back." they went on naming the different grants available such as entities, businesses, etc. It went on to mention this grant these various reasons: disabilities, retired, old, widow, deaf, divorce, disabled, hard of hearing, citizens, non-citizens, and workers. The Government does NOT give out grants for being old, widowed, etc. This IS bull crap. Clearly a scam and hacks into Messenger, Facebook and makes it appear to be real, putting the picture of the person who has the Messenger account in there so you actually think it is this person. Please beware and do NOT buy into this. You will most definitely be scammed if you do. They are relentless and will keep coming at you with this trying to convince you that they are NOT a scam. They claim it is a Trump Grant just fyi. A lot of red flags here on this one. Another name that was given in the text is Mary Linda. The text went as follows: "you can also apply for a grant if you contact Mary Linda - do you have her contact info?" and that was when I was sent this 805 number. Was told to call it, and when I did, you could not talk to anyone and when I tried to leave a message, I got a text stating that this phone number is not meant for texting. All I need to do is provide them my name and address and they would see if I qualify for the grant. In the text they stated they got there $150,000 within 24 hours. All they had to do was pay the tax and shipping charges and then they got the money. My husband checked it out and it is obviously a scam. What he did was he asked them: "Hi, how is your wife Madge?" - (we know these people very well - the ones the scammers hacked into, and his wife's name is not Madge). That stopped them overnite, but then I got another text message this morning that said "she is doing pretty good". Obviously this is NOT the person I know. Please be cautious. This 805 I was informed, is a Canada number, and scammers use them all of the time. I am blocking this number from my phone."
