Is the following a scam in your opinion?
"Me: Hello, how are you doing today?
Her: Good to hear from you, I'm doing great too. I was just wondering if you have heard about the good news of American Hope Resources program (AHR) 2021 Commission ?
Me: No I have not.
Her: It's about the money grant offer from the American Hope Resources program for financial assistance to help people maintain the Economy and reduction of poverty for the standard of living, I saw your name among the winner list when the AHR agent brought cash to me and I wonder if you have got yours ?
Me: No I have not
Her: We're on the same winning categories when the FedEx brought my winning money package to me at my home doorstep"

This conversation is coming from face book from one of my "friends". She sends images of several thousand dollars; tells me in order to claim mine; I must buy some gift cards for processing. If this is a scam, how does it work?

Yes, its a scam, and that's not my opinion its a fact.
There is no such thing as "American Hope Resources program (AHR)" - the government does not just send out cash.
They will come up with a BS reason for you to go buy gift cards to a major store and why you need to give them the card number and pin number for the card. Then they'll spend the money to buy something from that store online and you'll never hear from them again.

She gets the gift cards, you get nothing. The government does not send cash to anyone.
