The fake Dave Johnson is working his scam on Facebook Messenger. Stated that he chose me after applying to be my 'Friend' but previously added 'Likes' to a few of my posts in Fb

He spends plenty of time getting to know you and becomes someone that you WOULD consider to be a friend. He also uses Religion.

His Fb logo is a copy of the real Johnson coloured blue. He is free to exercise his criminal activities because Fb clearly do NOT vet anybody - even after complaints!

With me he used Lorraine Robinson as his fake FedEx agent who sent me very amateur pictures of supposedly FedEx staff working in very untidy premises totally unlike anybody with FedEx connections would have. The fake Johnson appears to work from the US. but the fake office I just mentioned portrayed a Nigerian woman in National dress.

This, plus the fact that I had to pay $200 vide PayPal or GiftCard (both widely used by evil scammers) convinced me that this was another Dhar Mann type of FedEx scam. He even suggested me using Bitcoin when he saw my hesitation.

Jan. 31, 2022 at 3:10 PM by an anonymous user from: Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States

I got a message from Dave Johnson, and from Mike Weirsky saying that I've been chosen to win money... and they said they are sending money through cash app. The number that texting is 214 area code... thats Dallas, Texas. I got excited at first because my grandson has a tumor in his brain and I really could use the money for his cares . If this is a scam- I just can't even believe people could do this 😭 but I have no money in my cash app that they could even steal . I don't know, this is all just very strange.
