This report is subsequent to the other report made by me . I was messaging with a person I thought was my cousin , who had received $200,00] . She said I was being cheated . I could use her agent and only pay $1500 to get a grant of $150,000 . I switched to her agent , Lisa Miller . We paid the $1500 . We were given a guaranteed delivery date . The date arrived . No delivery , IRS required $1000 . Another delivery date set up . Agent agreed to pay half the fee . Sent the money . That delivery date came . Nothing but another fee . Told them we had nothing more to give , nothing . Then they say there are more fees to be paid but they will help . They will send checks totaling $13,000 . I just need to send them what they ask for when they ask for it after I deposit it in my account and they'd allow me to keep a portion for my trouble . Wanted me to make a deposit , hang around the bank 15 minutes or so , withdraw $4000 to start . I said no . Big difference in money being deposited and being available for use . Finally sent 2 checks . I only deposited 1 . A day later the cashiers check was flagged as fraudulent . So the bank put me in contact with FBI . I tell Lisa what happened . She pretends to be so sorry , so very sorry . Just $1000 more and we'll be done , we had been through much . Scrape up the $1000 . Supposedly , on the way to my house the FedEx truck eas in an accident . A driver was killed . My package was taken by a firefighter who held it for what Lisa herself called a ransom fee of $1000 . My cousin helps pay this off to get the package . One of her cards turns out to be bad . Have to replace it . We get it down to a last $300 . It is sent . Lisa asks me why would I give her a bad card for the final payment . It is a lie . I told her it was just a ploy for more money . I tell my cousin who says let it slide , she's honest . By the grace of God , another cousin in our family died . The cousin I was messaging with had brothers who were very close to the cousin who died . I asked her if they had gotten the news about him . She said no . I told her and all she said was that's so sad . Nothing like I expected . So I am thinking that this isn't even her . I tell her that I know one of her brothers will take the news especially hard bc they are the same age . I don't use his name , I use another brother's name . I tell her to tell him that I am so very sorry . She said I will tell him . No , no , she cannot , the brother she told me she'd pass my condolences along to has been dead 7 or 8 yrs . Sooooo , somebody hacked into het account and was undoubtedly helping Lisa and her ppl carry out the scam .
