Description

I had a friend request from my cousin on Facebook. I was already friends with him and he sent me a friend request. My cousin was on Facebook. He told me about a grant offer. He asked me for cell phone number and my address. I gave it out. Government has money for us. $560 fee for $150,000 grant. He sent me a text message that he sent $400. He received $100,000 grant. I don't know how he sent the $400. This happened on April Fools day that he told me about this. I'm thinking this is a April Fools joke. All communication with my cousin was by text. I asked my cousin to call me and he never called me. I asked where I should send the money. He told me Bruce Lee Grace in Indianapolis, IN. I did not send any money.
