It doesn't sound like him and I'm sure if he got 100k he'd be having the blind staggers by now. Not texting me. On messenger. I think someone hacked his account.
Thoughts?

@MissNoahLenFoxx It's not. After my bubble popped and I started adding things up, I said to myself I said, self you can sure your hair but your still blond.
In a reverse engineering of this, at the end after I was miraculously accepted to receive a grant, they needed $850.00 for a check fee, administration charges and misc things. They needed it up front and the bed it right that minute.
I was only going for 50k and that would have been 550 dollars up front. Wanted me to get a steam card. They didn't know how long they could hold my grant. They were getting rude. And high pressure.
They hacked a friend's messenger and going through his contacts. My phone has recently been replaced so it's not unusual for me to get a message from Fakebook saying someone wants to be friends when we already were. And I just re added him to my friends list. Not 5 minutes he's messaging me to let me know he just got a100k. He never mentioned the fee. But I've known him a while and we don't talk much, in fact it we do it's because we ran into each other out on the street. Neither of us is likely to pass along one of those guilt trip Fakebook thingy that warms you about god's love of me hinges on if I pass the damn message to 15 friends within the next fifteen second or else God will go on and put in hell in one clap of thunder.
Then I really notice it didn't sound like him. Just by the way he talked. My friend is a fifty year electrician and he's got a bit of construction on his communication, that's entirely in person. I don't think he could spell well enough to do too much texting. He's not dumb but like me he's going to use ain't or say ovair, if something's not here then it is ovair. I'm too long winded.
It broke my little heart, first that I got suckered almost(one can be too poor to con) and second that it was a scam. Dr Phil would be proud of my dumb ass.
