Tonight while at work I got contacted by Josephine Weston "from California" about a Facebook promo where I won a lottery!!! I was told "Your name was among the 25 lucky winners who won $600.000.00 dollars with a brand new car. each on the Facebook group promotion." <SIC>
Originally scammer wanted me to contact "Her" on Hangouts and/or Whatsapp. I pretended to be unfamiliar with both and claimed my grandson put both on my phone but I didn't know how to work either. After a few offers to contact my grandson about all this and how to contact him on those apps he no longer seemed keen on moving to those apps. I did get his what's app and Hangouts information though, I would love at the end of the bait report them.
I used my burner number to contact the phone number he gave me for What's app. He asked who I was and I was the winner of the lottery and he told me to contact him. I did this to see if he knew who I was or if he had other victims in the works and didn't know which one contact him. I finally told him who I was after he had no idea who I was. I gave him my first name and "She" said that she wasn't into men. Not sure what brought that on.
I later on conversed with the scammer on FB messenger and got further there, before she asked for my phone number. I gave her the number to my burner number/phone. (Burner phone is $10 a month and at any time I can change my phone number and get a new number if I want). This time another phone number contacted me about my winnings.
Been conversing with this scammer overnight while doing my regular job IRL (3rd shifter).
I have been able to get the scammer to click on a fake link that had the words "Gift cards" in the title of the link that allowed me to gather "her" info... Josephine claimed to be from California but according to the information I got from her clicking my link, she/he is in Nigeria.
While conversing with Josephine on FB I was given images of other "Winners" and even a video of a previous Winner... which was pretty funny because it showed an "Ethnic guy" who was showing off his lottery card he got with the words "Facebook" poorly hand written on the card. I have a very STRONG feeling this guy in the video is the scammer himself, pretending to be a previous winner.
I also image searched the other photos and they are all often used in Facebook Lottery scams by random individuals. I did find one interesting site which might turn into a bait in of itself.
I gave the scammer my "Contact information" which amounts to fake information about my fake persona that I have written down and easily accessible to provide any scammers trying to test my validity.
Only downside right now which might end my bait is she/he is asking for a picture of my ID and my email address. I don't have an email address (yet) and gave a ploy that I had my grandson set one up and had to contact him about what the information was as I wasn't too smart with such things. This bought me a little time. I don't know how to fake a driver's license though. I thought about taking a VERY low resolution photo of my license after I smear a LOT of the important information and then save it as such it looks like it's readable but the image is so tiny you can't ready anything. Unless anyone know any sites to produce a fake license to send this scammer.
Will post updates as they come.
