Description
I received a message on Facebook messenger from a person claiming to be Kate Evans a supposed billionaire. This person claimed they wanted to give me $2.5 million dollars. In order to receive this money I needed to purchase a $100 Apple Gift Card and send pictures of the front and back of the card to the address used in messenger. Once the pictures were sent the person claimed the $2.5 million was being packaged for delivery by FedEx. The catch was then revealed. The recipient needed to pay a $250 security check fee before the money could be delivered. This immediately raised suspicion with me so I checked for any online complaints and found many! Unfortunately for me I had already sent the pictures of the Apple Card.
