Reports on phone number 9712488298
10 yearsGot a message on Facebook from someone I used to know, saying I supposedly have 200,000 pounds waiting from something called FB MegaMillions. They told me to ring Don Walker on 9712488298. Honestly, what’s wrong with folk? How do they manage to send out stuff like this pretending to be someone else without that person realising? Hope no one receives any dodgy messages like this from me and thinks I’m up to something dodgy!!!FacebookFB MegamilionsDon Walker10 yearsWatch out, they’re now calling from 334-352-8785 & 657-666-0420. A bloke named Terry Brad says you’ve won a prize but you gotta cough up $750 for the filing, postage and insurance fees. I called it what it is - a total scam. Even my mate who told me about it said they’d shell out $500, which meant I’d just be losing $250. What a joke, honestly!Terry BradUPS10 yearsSo, these days I've been seeing the numbers 334-352-8785 and 657-666-0420 popping up. Some bloke calling himself Terry Brad rang me up and told me I'd won something. He says all I have to do is cough up a $750 fee to cover mailing with UPS and insurance. Honestly, it seems dodgy as hell. I told him right off the bat I wasn’t falling for it. The mate who tipped me off even joked he'd toss $500 their way - as if I'd only lose $250! Absolutely crazy, mate.Terry BradUPS10 yearsI get the exact same thing happen to me too.10 yearsThis also happened to me once, an old mate said she'd won some huge money on the Facebook megamillion but told me to keep it secret so no one would be asking her for cash. Total rubbish if you ask me! Then she said I needed to visit some website, fill out a form, and then I'd get my cash. Didn't seem right at all.11 yearsI got a message about some anniversary present but checked it out first and couldn’t find any info on it anywhere, so I’m pretty sure it’s just a scam.11 yearsSo, I got this message on Messenger saying, "Hey, how’s things with you? What’s the weather like? Just checking if you’ve got the winnings from the FB and Mega Millions anniversary draw. I already got $100k from them. You gotta reach out to James Waters, your name’s on the lucky list too. Here’s his number: +19712488298. Just text him your name and he’ll tell you how to claim your cash." Honestly, cracked me up so much - someone got totally done here!James Waters11 yearsSome woman rang me claiming I’d bagged a mega million prize of $100k. She directed me to this James Waters website, where he promptly started asking for my personal details and even my password. Turns out, it was all a load of rubbish. Honestly, if I ever bump into that idiot in person, it won’t end well - I’m proper angry about it. The takeaway? If it sounds way too good to be true, it most likely is.James Waters11 yearsMe llego un mensaje de este numero contandome que habia ganado plata, pero me parecio raro y crei que podia ser una estafa. Si alguien puede darme mas detalles, preferiblemente en español, se lo agradezco mucho.11 yearsI’m pretty sure this is just some kind of scam.11 yearsA mate of mine told me she got a message saying she'd won some cash too. Sounds to me like this bloke's account might have been hacked.11 yearsGot a call from someone saying I'd won a prize from the Oregon lottery. They asked me to get in touch through genaro flores at [email protected] or [email protected]. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.Oregon LotteryGenaro Flores11 yearsGot a message from a mate earlier and asked if it was a scam, they just begged me not to tell anyone. Then they tried to get me to download some app. I’m not daft enough to fall for those scams! They were trying to trick me, saying I’d won something like the Megamillionsprize.tk or somthin.Megamillionsprize11 yearsI had a run-in with someone called James Waters too, but I stopped before I got to the final part.James Waters11 yearsSomebody tried to pull a scam on me, but I wasn’t gonna fall for it that quick.11 yearsSomebody just told me I've won something... is this one of those scams?11 yearsSomeone just called me saying I’d won something. Now I’m trying to figure out what the prize actually is!11 yearsI got a call from someone named James Waters telling me I won something, so I tried to collect my prize but all I ended up with was this page. Honestly, what’s happening here?James Waters11 yearsOn 10 June 2015 around 11:40 pm, I got a text from this number claiming to be James Waters, saying he was handling the Facebook Mega Millions Lottery and wanted my full name and where I lived to see if I’d won. Foolishly, I shared my details. Soon after, my Facebook account and email were hacked. He kept pushing me to pay $1390 to claim my supposed £100k prize, but I told him I knew it was all a con. He replied with some mumbo jumbo about Mega Millions Inc. using more than 3000 FBI trackers to fight scams worldwide. I humoured him for a bit, trying to access the website he sent me but was redirected elsewhere. I hope my experience helps others avoid this scam. If you want, you can reach me on my mobile at 314-703-6911.
