Someone impersonated my uncle on facebook messenger and asked if I heard the good news. It was said $90,000 was promoted to disabled and unemployed from Mark Zuckerburg on FV. I was told to click on link https:/m.facebook.com/AgentEstherWoodford10? The imposter (Esther Woodford) said it legit, sent me a pic of certificate labeled Facebook International Lottery. It said United States on it. She told me to send $950.00. $200 shipment fee + $350 insurance + $400 taxation fee = $950 total.She then said management was closed. Instead of Western Union to go buy Apple iTunes card totaling $950 and send pictures of codes. We purchased them and did what she said. I was told the Fed Ex team would be at my door the next morning. The next morning, I was told (over) I needed $6500.00 for Homeland Security. They discovered the amount of money being carried around the country. I told Esther to refund my $950.00. She said it was already being used for bills. I asked to speak to management.I dialed it. The number is 541-321-8028. They told me I had to fill out a form for $500.00 and they would send me $1000.00. This all started on 3/27/18. We purchased Apple iTune cards with Regions Visa. The management I spoke to were Indians. Esther Woodford told me to write down: Winning Confirmation Code Reference #: *** *** ** *** *** ** *** *** ** *** *** ** ***

Rec’d. text messages since 3/4/17 stating that the person I friended to play Bingo Blitz with me on FB entered to win $500,000 and won. Now they are offering me the same winnings, but I must pay $300 in taxes up front. I have the "certificate" on my computer if you’d like to see it. I also have information saved from a similar FB scam by friend impostors who tried to scam me awhile back.
