Description

I received a friend request from “Julie Leach.” After I accepted, the conversation started off very nicely with a “How are you? Hope you’re doing well.” Then she told me I had been picked by a computer to receive money she was sharing from winning the lottery and asked if I was ready to claim my gift.

I asked what that involved, and she said they needed to know where I worked and what I planned to use the money for, and that I just needed to fill out a form. I told them I was not going to give out that information, and they became very defensive. They sent me a picture of an ID card and said, “Not here to play games. Now are you ready to fill out the claim?”

I said I didn’t know them and would not be giving out my information. They then said, “All I need is your address and full name. Now are you ready to fill out the form?” At that point, I blocked them.
