My father was contacted through Facebook by someone claiming to help him get $250k through some US Tax service, but in order to get that money, he has To make some cash transfers. He was fooled Into thinking that it was a legitimate scheme because the individual Showed him a list of people that had benefited from this scheme, one of which was my mother’s friend. My dad then made a series of transfers throughout august to an ocbc bank account locally, and these amounted to close to $40k. The final straw was when he was asked for another $35k in order to release the full amount promised.
