BFAG Facebook Scam - Government Financial Assistance Group

I also had a friend tell me about this. She had actually received $120,000 that was delivered to her door. The cashier's check was good and she has used the money. She did have to pay them $1000.00 for taxes, etc. I contacted them to see what this was all about, never intending to fill out their form. I asked several questions about their "so-called organization, where they get this grant money, etc. They did not answer my questions but simply pushed me to get their form filled out.

I'm still asking questions and can say this is so poorly responded to by them. The puzzle for me is what do they get out of this? Yes, my friend paid them $1,000 for so-called processing fees but she did receive $120,000. That's a lot of money. I'm hoping someone can enlighten me as to what this is really all about.

She didn’t get ANY money. They hacked her account and wrote that to you as if they were she
I’ve received contacts like this MANY times
I ALWAYS asked where the money was coming from. They the govt fund. I asked which govt fund. The guy said don’t ask so many questions Just fill out the form

I just recently got a message from an old friend who I never see anymore she sent it to me on messenger saying that she had just received $50,000 from BFAG. She asked me if I’d ever heard from them which I had not and so I looked it up to find out what she was talking about and this is how I got here. I didn’t believe her and I still don’t and I think it’s all just a big scam it seems to look that way anyways. It’s not very fair of people to send messages like that when it’s all just a big fat lie! And at the end of her message on messenger she cut me off so that I could send her any message or ask her any questions so right then and there I thought that’s very weird. Thank you so much sincerely S...

It was NOT

It was BOT her. Her acct was hacked by these scammers who messaged u as her I’ve received messages just like that

I also had a wierd situation a fella as a close friend of mine new picture by his old truck,said 100,000 would be delivered with in 6 hours in cash,had to pay a delivery fee of 1000,cant call them strickly text,i tried to contact him but said he had a new phone and couldnt call me when I started asking questions he was way in left field,but kept. On saying it was the happiest day of his life when they came to his house and gave him the cash and you dont have to pay it back saved all the messages,so when I finaly contact him, where is face book when you really need them.

Contact the fbi

I just had an old friend who I never see and have not seen for years leave me a message on messenger asking me if I had heard from BFAG and also claiming that she had just received $50,000 bonus from them. I’m trying to check this out but it looks like it’s a big scam oh well it sounded too good to be true anyway.

You’ve got that right

I just received a message asking how I was and just replied with a thumbs up. The name being used is of a deceased friend of mine!!! THIS IS SICK!!!!

I received a note in messenger from a "friend" asking me to click on this BFAG website through facebook (with Agent James Kathy) to get money, that she received lots of money delivered to her door. Red flag. They offered to walk me through link to help me.

Theses SCAMS show up on my messenger page. They are sent to me by friends of minds,who cliams that they have reciev Grant Money that does not have be paid back. OK thats finnd,but there are So called Agents you have to deal with that want you to buy Gift Cards so that you can get a certain amount of Grant Money. you pay them the fee, they want another Gift Card. an it goes on and on. The agents get your money but they donote send you the Grant money that have applied far. but keep messenging you for other feeds

I had someone impersonating a family member but I blocked her. The name was Ella Marie Negri.

I was contacted by a man named Alex the phone number is 1-312-483-0012.
IS THIS A SCAM? He said my name was on a winning list and if I paid him $2,500 he would send me $175.000.00. Please get back to me.

scam for sure

I was recommended by a fake good friend, please don’t get involved, it’s scam and fraud.

Yes I was also contacted by one of the well known Facebook friends whom I have not met personally so she introduced me this skim and I thought it to be scam and I googled about it and I found this so now I know that this was trap.

I have been contacted the same, but I googled it and found it to be a scam, I thought it was weird the person posing as my friend wasn’t acting in the normal manner so I was already on my guard

thanks I was smart enough to google the bfag and and found the answer to the question is this a scam on face book and low and behold it is.

Glad I just googled BFAG and found this post. I had been inboxes a msg from one of my mom's old friends page yesterday

Hei,eg fekk eI slik melding I går,men fant dette mistenkjeleg so eg har nettopp googla dei,og dette er svindel på høgt plan.
So eg sender ikkje penger til slike svindlara.

Hi, I received a message like this yesterday, but found it suspicious so I just googled them, and this is fraud at a high level.
So I don't send money to such scammers.

Here's a tip? first of all of course its a SCAM. 100% of it. NEVER fall for it. Here's a reason why. I work with a co-worker, and I received a notice of a program that he/she wanted me to fill out to get a huge sum of money. The tip off? I just happened to get the message at the same time I was talking to my co-worker in person at that time when this message came in, even with his pic in the profile. I showed him the message right then and there. So I played along but never disclose any information. There are people that I personally know that I receive messages supposing to be them. Since the advent of the internet, I NEVER fall for these hacks or SCAMS.
I contact them personally myself and of course they tell me they NEVER sent me any message.
Do yourself a favor. Save yourself the aggravation, embarrassment, and inconvenience, DO NOT fall for it.
There is NO thing as a FREE lunch when it comes to these fraudulent SCAMS. I try to educate everyone about this. You will be better off to unfriend or block them. I hope this advice helps. Good luck!!!!

Yes that's happened to me they wanted my social and bank name and I told them no. Then they got ugly so I knew there where full of it. A friend on Facebook massaged me that I hadn't heard from in awhile about how easy it was to apply. I should have none you get nothing free.

A friend of mine has had a BFAG with my name on a list. It asked her to contact agent Barbara Ruth on Facebook -agentbarbararuth000468

Got a Facebook friend request from an old co-worker.
I accepted.
shortly after that I got a phone call from them (I did not pick up).
shortly after that I received a series of oddly worded messenger messages, one of which mentioned BFAG program
I'm unfriending that person because I think its a hack.

A few days ago I almost became a victim of the BFAG Facebook scam. The scam, which claims to be a so-called "government financial assistance" group, also used a good friend of mine's FB account to lure me in. I thought I was talking to my friend & shared a link showing the BFAG Facebook scam… Then it came up in FB messenger that they- the impersonator- could not be contacted! I reported them to my friends of friend, and then posted on my FB account about my experience….

I have one online right now trying to scam me,her name is Mary Mavis,a guy I know pretending to be my friend,were not friends,says he seen my name on list to recieve money from BFAG,he went on to tell me that he recieved $100.000 ,right then I knew something was up,the goverment giving you that kind of money,Ya right,then they say you need to spend money to recieve money,Now I know it BS,she's still trying to convence me she is telling the truth,I don't believe her,I live by this,if it sounds to good to be true,it is

They create copies of a FB profile using a Display Photo from one of your friends. The messages they send are not well-written as if English is not their first language. Check the profile before responding to the messages. If the profile is completely blank or in the messages they give you some lame excuse like, "I have a problem with my old profile so I quickly create a new one", then it's a scam. Report them for impersonating a friend.

Bfag is a complete scam. do not fall victim to this hoax,

I got hit as well but got suspicious right away as they didnt know any life/work details of the facebook person they were impersonating.

Bfag is a scam. They tried to lure me in with a friend request thru messenger . You dint know what your getting into. It is too good to be true

Those idiots are flirting with the noose and scaffold dance.

Same thing just happened to me. A friend I had not heard from in a long time texted me about it. I have been contacted by my cousin about a scam like this before so I didn’t fall for this one this time.

I have just received messages on FB from a trusted friend that turned out to be an attempt to scam me with the BFAG story.

Hi, I have never heard about BFAG before till one day, my teacher recommended it to me. From that time up to now, I communicated with her via Facebook (her picture showed up)She said the government gives away money to retirees, workers, and old and disabled people kind of thing. I was sceptical, but because she was my teacher and I thought it was not possible that we would scam out of me. She shared with me a link saying a contact agent named Williams Joseph Mark now just follow the link with pictures of FedEx trucks and she would guide me through. I got a link and I sent that agent my name, phone # and address. Then that agent sent me a message saying hold up while he was checking whether or not I was eligible.

He then sent me a message that I am eligible, just provide info and my info is safe with them. I saw a feature that asked for info. Full name, home address, DOB, Marital Status, Own a house or rent, Phone numbers, Valid email, Occupation, Your monthly income, Good clear picture of your ID card. Here we go, I know it for sure that it is a scam. As I said I saw this before, so I asked my teacher that it is legit. She said it is and she keeps asking me about it like pushing me to rush a process. I felt weird. I sent my teacher telling her that I think it is a scam. She said it is not. Fortunately, I did not give away any further my info. Is it a scam anyone???!!! Be careful!!!

Gm the Same thing happens to me they used my friends Facebook an keep texting me so I send them my deatails they asking me for money I asked my friends she say yes go ahead when I realise it looks like they fraud her Facebook page and .they get all my information what do you do to block them
