The initial contact was by a Julie Leach, a powerball winner (in Dec 2015 when I looked carefully at pic) ... was referred to Geralyn E (her financial agent) for distribution of money. Because of the language in that response, I felt it was a scam. I responded to the initial contact at a weak moment, with deepening financial woes. The initial contact was 'friendly' in tone as much as could be on Messenger .. I did not give more info than a form of my name, phone number for texts, 'story' of why i 'needed' the money, no names or financial info .. but now afraid of how They could get more info without me knowing. I took pics of some of messages but dont know how or where to send ... I searched sites for people's info by name but what I found wasnt really much help unless I wanted to pay for info. I have since blocked both people, and deleted the messages, and am considering a deep scan/clean of my phone which i would have to pay for.
