Hi,i had a scam very recently and lost 300USD trusting someone similar on internet.I tried to get contact with famous japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa (he of course is out of this story)
through facebook in order to send a letter to him and someone (scammer) replied to me that i have to pay 500USB to contact Mr Maezawa.I said i am too poor to pay that much just for a letter.
He said i must become a verified member Mr Maezawa Foundation to make a request and 300USD will be enough regarding to my situation.
He first wanted me to make payment by internet banking to a bank account (Account Holder Name :Brenda L Miller , Bank Name : The bank of Hemet) in California.Then suggested by Bitcoin system but
i am living in Japan and this system is still very rare here.Then suggested Amazon gift card which i couldn't neither.
Then he sent a bank account information in Malaisia (Named : Eni Setioningsih) and i could transfer money using internet banking.After all i realized (too late) that was a scam.
That guy named Barry Steve (he said),we've been exchanging a lot.I 50 email from him in 15 days.He also provided a (fake) paper of the foundation asking my
name,address,number phone,etc. and finally asking me my home town ID and my home town bank account information.I clearly explained my situation and that guy know about my very bad situation here.
I will never get my money back but please be careful,i warn you from this kind crook.
