Description

Julie Leach sent me a friend request. I accepted because I know a few people with the surname Leach and wasn't sure if she was part of their families. Soon she instant msg'd me and her profile changed showing Julie Leach with Michigan Lottery images. She explained that she won nearly 400 million in the lottery and while feeling blessed, she wanted to share her blessing. I immediately knew it was a scam. She sent over a few links for videos that I did not click on. The last was a facebook account for a Attorney Deborah Smith which I was to msg and set-up arrangements to retrieve my $50,000 gift from Julie. Blocked and reported immediately.
