Today, I received a text message from phone number: 1-985-492-0016, with an attached photo identification (see below) of a man claiming to be a Facebook Claim agent or officer. Because I know there is no Facebook lottery, I know right away it is a scam. Therefore, Facebook or online users who have received text or email messages claiming they have won the Facebook lottery are asked to delete them. This is because there is no Facebook lottery, and the messages are being sent by Facebook lottery scammers disguising themselves as Facebook Claim agents or officers.
The aim of the lottery scammers is to trick Facebook or online users into sending them money for some so-called Facebook lottery. Remember, there is no Facebook lottery and there is no Facebook Claim agents or officers. And, online users who have received unexpected messages requesting personal, financial information, or money, are asked not to follow the instructions in them. This is because legitimate companies do not send unsolicted messages requesting personal, financial information, or money for lottery winnnings or prizes.

I've been contacted by Virginia Phillips claiming to be a Facebook lottery representative. She asked for my personal information and is currently asking for access to my email my banking codes all I am from personal information and having me get $50 and $500 Apple gift cards claiming it's for tax purposes to clean my price...
It is a scam, don’t not send them your money or information.
I received a message on Instagram about a Facebook lottery, she claimed her name was Theresa Anderson. She claimed to be an executive with Facebook but the grammar was terrible, I felt like I was communicating with someone who didn't have a good grasp of the English language. Not what you'd expect from an executive. Asking for personal information.
Thank you please do something with these scammers

Just stop sending your money to the lottery scammers. Remember, if you are being asked to send money in order to collect a lottery prize, it is a scam. Legitimate lotteries do not ask their winners to send money, financial or personal information.
