I HAVE RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM MAVISWANCZYK21211 WANTING TO SEND ME MONEY! SHE SAYS SHE WON THE POWERBALL LOTTERYOF $758.700 MILLION AND WANTS TO SEND ME MONEY TO HELP ME OUT! SHE SAYS THAT THIS PLATFORM HAS ONLY BEEN PROGRAMMED TO ISSUE PAYMENTS THROUGH PAYPAL TRANSFER ALONE. DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? I THINK IT IS A SCAM.AM I CORRECT THAT THIS IS A SCAM.

I HAVE NOT SENT ANY INFORMATION TO THIS PERSON!
