@4pack#138357 This is a Textnow number which is really professional. I called on two different numbers and he texted me on both asking me to fill out a form to get some kind of environmental grant. Really bad spelling and really bad grammar. Sounds legit to me. I am proceeding from a burner with him. He is using the name Anthony Williams. Global Environmental Facility something or other. He sent me a Google Form to fill out for a grant so I made up a company and I am waiting to hear. What a dope. Tom is not short for Anthony. Tony is.

@JusticeinTexas#138367 Damn, doesn’t surprise me that they are running multiple scams.
@4pack#138379 Well, he texted me back to my fake number and fake company where I told him the reason I wanted the grant was COVID-19. He gave me a lucky number, a reference number, a batch number, and a serial number. He wants me to say I received them so let us see what happens next.
@JusticeinTexas#138418 I’m grabbin my popcorn!
@4pack#138423 I asked him when the money would be delivered. I still have no clue what it is for. He said as soon as we finished whatever this process is. And did I safeguard the numbers he gave me? He writes like a third grader and that is being mean to third graders! I had a delay as I broke a FRONT TOOTH and had to go to the dentist. I now look like Daisy Mae and lisp. He did a core and post but I cannot get a temp tooth until Tuesday. And it is our anniversary Friday so we have plans. LIfe is just so exciting!
@4pack#138423 He sent me a “list” of the prices or “small fee” that I can choose to pay. From $695 for 25,000 to $29,450 for 2,000,000. Sure and it is payable immediately. I told him I wanted the whole $2,000,000 and to send me an invoice and I will have accounting from my company Texas Rangers Trucking cut him a check. So he sends me a picture of a hand stamping some generic forms and says that is my approval so cut him a payment from my company. I told him I have to go through procedures and all checks must be approved by me, the VP and the CFO, again requesting an invoice to be sent to my fake email so that I can expedite it. I have a feeling that I will not hear from him again. What company just writes a check to an unknown grant company without any checks or balances? I used to be a cop but I was trained as an accountant. This guy knows nothing. If someone falls for this I feel like they deserve it.
@4pack#138423
So he writes back that his “head of the cashier department” is not there because of Covid-19. Golly, he writes like a retard. He can send it tomorrow. I told him I am out until Monday and that the VP and CFO are here right now waiting to approve it. But I must have an invoice. Or it will be at least a week.
“Why does that mean, you need to take your grant process as imporant as you can were here to help you and you should help yourself too.” Wow, such great English. I told him we were waiting in the office right to do it but again, we won’t be able to do this again until the end of next week. Now he is getting upset. He wants his money now by promising to send the invoice tomorrow AFTER I write a check. Sure, dude. I asked if it was a serious offer and he replied “Where honest and trustworthy people here so you dont have to worry anything ok the payment will be mail in cash to our delivery affiliation address and the name will be given to you here so thats never a problem and the invoice can not be issue until tomorrow. if you can make cash payment i will send you the address you will mail the cash payment to.” Again, word for word! I said are you kidding? I cannot pay a cash payment of that amount. I have to go through company procedures. I need the name and the invoice before any money is sent. Are you playing with me? He says that he is not there to play or joke. Bwahahaha! He just said he was sending the invoice tomorrow and I said fine so you will get your money next Friday. Now he says he will contact me tomorrow and I said I will not be here as I have said four times. He is so dumb. I tried calling him and got TextNow. I texted him and asked him to pick up. He texted back and said he would put me on a list. I am finished with this twit. TIme to call him out. I told not to change his Textnow number for me and that I posted this on the Internet for everyone to laugh at. I told him he wrote like an imbecile. I asked him how it felt to be scammed and how it felt to feel that money in his grasp and then to lose it. And then I laughed!
@drwat Please read this hilarious thread.
@JusticeinTexas#138455 OMG. I heard of such scams previousl but it is first time I am getting to know in reality what goes on. Great job!
@drwat#138467 Thank you, my friend. He was a nitwit. It is hard to believe but he texted me on another burner with the same link. I sent the form back again so we get to play this whole thing out again tomorrow with a different fake name and email. What company forks over that kind of cash with no records at all? I do not know how he makes any money and I still do not know what the grant is even for. ; 0
The scammer counts on statistics. One out of 100 may panout.
@JusticeinTexas#138455 Holy shit that was amazing. This guy definitely had a minor case of SEVERE brain damage. I don’t know how he gets a cent out of people. Also, shit sorry about your tooth and it’s shit timing! Life is so fun sometimes.
@4pack#138484 Haha! I am doing it to him again as a candy company in North Dakota. And he is falling for it. Oh what fun! Thank you about the toof. Well, the restaurant is dark and we go right to the hotel so nobody will see me. And my husband loves me anyway so it is all good. I have learned to roll with the punches!

@JusticeinTexas#138442 I had a delay as I broke a FRONT TOOTH and had to go to the dentist.
I broke a front tooth in half playing Frisbee while on mushrooms! My buddy really whipped it at me, and it went right through my hands and smack dab into my mouth. Was so high I started crawling around the ground looking for the tooth remains in hopes that they could glue it back on ;-) Never did find it. Went to the hospital (it was a weekend) and when the lady asked what was wrong, I just smiled and pointed to my mouth. All they could do was paint it with some stuff to keep air off the nerve and it had to stay like that and wait until the middle of the week to finally see a dentist about it. Glad I was already on pain meds when it happened <grin>
@Otis#138525 OUCH! I was lucky that my dentist saw me right away and even though his assistant was not there he did the post to be sent out to the lab. He was nice enough to have it picked up at his house. Of course, he has been my dentist for 14 years and we attend the same church. He will make me fake tooth on Tuesday while we wait for the crown. Well, there goes my stimulus check! And all I was doing was eating a chicken sammich!
