Description

“Congratulations!!! I’m Julie Leach the Michigan Powerball PowerPlay Winner, so you have been fortuitously picked among our electoral machine on Facebook lucky winners those getting $50,000, this month 2024 from my giveaway program going on , are you ready to claim your winning?“ Then they proceeded to ask if I wanted the money via cash or check. I suspected a scam and said “cash can you mail it?” This led to them sending me a link to a supposedly fedex agent to arrange delivery. I identified it as a link to another Facebook account and inquired to why it wasn’t a FedEx link. They because defensive and attempted to assure me this was a normal course of action. I discontinued communication as I had at this point found the other post by the BBB regarding this scam.
