Facebook Cancer Scam

Victim Location 07018

Total money lost $1,500

Type of a scam Nigerian/Foreign Money Exchange

About a year and a half ago, I was on Facebook and was contacted by a woman dying from cancer. She asked me to give her money away to any charity of my choice. She sent me a pic of herself in a hospital bed. She had me talk to her attorney in England, he sounded legit. He asked for my driver’s license, which I sent him. Then he said he would send me $250,000 once I paid the taxes. I wired $1500 through my bank. I was going to give the money to St Judes because I’m crazy about Danny and Marlo Thomas. I just knew it was true. It wasn’t.
