Narrative evidence

What happened

I was contact via FB by a former High School CLASSMATE she stated she had been told about this opportunity only 4 days ago and she received a check for 5000. She provided me with the information. I copied it and instantly contacted a friend of mine to see if she knew anything about it. Instantly she sent me link announcing the fraud. I stated to Tammy Jones Scott the information was bogus and repeatedly asked her why she was promoting? After, I stated I had reported this she went offline and does not respond on FB. I also texted the phone number and told them I had reported them and they responded asking I was stupid? I made several posts on FB alerting readers of the scam.
