Description :
His name is Arnold Smith. He contacted me from another party saying I was referred to him by a fake relative who contacted me on Facebook. It sounds good to me at the time for grant money to further are ministry.
so I took the bait and bought the first three hundred and fifty dollars Mr. Smith said that was for taxes go back to the store and get one thousand in gift cards all should be in one hundred dollar gift cards. then he told
me to take a picture of each one and download it to my computer and then send it to him through messaging on Facebook. after that, he told me that four of the cards did not work and to purchase 4 more one
hundred dollars more. I did then the suspicion began he told me to go buy more gift cards for the delivery of the money by UPS. I told him that I was not going to do that and to send my money back he said okay.
I have not heard anything fro him as of today. I contacted Facebook on the same day 06/26/2024 and reported the scam. His account was deleted and reported as a scam.
