Description

Scammer texted me saying they were "Linda Collins" from "Gradient Give Back Winning Fund". They said this is given out in the form of a grant. They said the fund is given out to financially help semi-retired, retired, disabled, widowed, unemployed, divorced, under privileged, and average or wealthy (basically everyone). Then "Linda" goes on the say that they were assigned to contact me about my winning money of which was supposed to be delivered to me awhile ago. And that's were the contact from "Linda Collins" ended. I did not text back as to not give them reason to contact me further and I believe it to be a scam.
