If you have received a message via FACEBOOK messenger inviting you to participate in some scheme requiring payment and asking you to text to a 337 area code in Louisiana, that is NOT FROM ME!!!! There is no scheme or plan generated by my office involving a “prize” or anything of the sort. DO NOT PAY The HACKER!!
Apparently some people gave the hacker money already thinking it was me. It isn’t. Tell them you are calling the police.
We have no representatives in the state of Louisiana and I doubt if the hacker lives anywhere near Louisiana.
DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANY PERSON EVEN IF YOU THINK IT IS ME. IT ISN’T.
I DON’T USE FACEBOOK MESSENGER FOR COMMUNICATIONS.
From what I have been told the hacker is posing as me and asking the recipient of the message to communicate via 337-800-5662. This person might not even be in the country!
