Description
Contacted randomly - out of the blue - through Facebook, requesting that I accept the recipient as a “Friend.” Also, initially claimed “she” was JULIE LEACH, the Michigan Powerball Lottery Winner of 310,000,000 and was giving out $70,000 to people in need. I replied via Facebook messenger with details about personal circumstances of hardship, and sent the information off. The next day (8/27/2025) I receive another Facebook reply that I was selected to receive $70,000. I responded asking them for contact information, and to speak to someone by phone.
