"Facebook Online International Lottery" Scam
an anonymous user from: Reston, Virginia, United States

Hi, today is April 6, 2019. I was contact by a friend that she saw my name in facebook international loterry. It looks too good to be true. She gave me a number to contact because her friend won also and did all the process. He paid $450 for them to send him the money.

It sound very fishy. So I try to make conversations with the person and provide me with the scam information that is going around. The picture he send with the winning list look old and it can be easy edit it. I can make that list with the Facebook logo using Microsoft words.

The phone number of this person is 325-515-7464 thats here in New York City. I guess it can change depening the state you are.

I hope this is helpful. And besides if Facebook has a contest it will be in the news and news papers would have the infornation about it.

Dont trust those people. Just report it! And dont pay for anything that is suppose to be free, specially that amount of money.
