DHHS Scam

[manta22]

On Facebook I received a "Friend Request" from Sparky so I accepted it. He sent an innocuous message, then asked if I had heard the "good news about DHHS". I replied "What is DHHS? To which I got an answer this morning:

"Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) set up a assistant program which I got $100,000 delivered when I applied for it and I don?t have to pay back,It was indeed a great blessing you can also apply before the program close."

Yeah- right! It is a scam so old that it has hair on it. Moral of the story- Sparky's identity has been stolen on FB- not his fault, it happens- and don't fall for scams liks DHHS, Nigerian princes, etc.  :x

Yes. I am not on FB but my wife is, though infrequently. Recent got a "friend" request from  one of our swim team members known to be deceased. Back from the grave to be buddies again. Watch the junk.

     Yes but Sparky just loaned me 50K because he just got some "wind fall"? So now I'm not going to pay him back :lol:

Yep, never click links or respond to friend requests... from folks you are already friends with... This is why I rarely look at FB... Hell, I'm not even friends with my kids on FB.
