Description

A man texted me on a WhatsApp chat, with a‘Business Account.’ He claimed to want to help me collect a $3,000 deposit from a Stock that I once had. He said he was an Business Accountant with BlackRock. Inc., & that they were in conjunction with CashApp and other money apps. He claimed that the government program was ‘going around’ to help with financial assistance. The man produced a screen-shot of my CashApp account, with my cashtag name! He claimed that the money would be deposited after I paid a $50 transfer charge! The man proceeded to try to make me believe him,,, he even used swear words to extend his point,, and his texting had grammar errors throughout his sentencs! I did texted him back that I knew this was a scam,, and eventually told him Goodbye,, blocking him immediately!!
