Description

Julie Leach sends me a friend request. I respsond, "who are you?" She says powerball winner of $310 million and wants to give me $200,000 my name selected of a FB list. Do I want cash or check. I respond cash. She then sends me link, http://m.me/61574409635394 which is a contact site for Carter Letterer. Then Carter (supposedly writes me that my package will be delivered by UPS but I give them $500 cash first then get my package containing $200,000 cash. I ask why they cannot simply take the $500 out of my package. They say security reasons and I must fill out a form acknowledging receipt. I say sure, meet you at our local police station. Then they go away. I printed a warning on my FB page. They did not have my phone# only contact was FB and the Carter link was also FB page. FB should be reported for allowing these obvious scammers on their site.
