American consumers have lost
$42 million to foreign lottery scams
in the last three years.
It often happens like this...
During a visit home, your mom's
phone rings off the hook.
She won't say who is calling.
The caller-ID reads (202)…
It's from Washington, DC.
When pressed, she says
she's won a lottery, but that
there's no jackpot yet.
And that first she has to pay
processing fees and taxes.
This is when you tell her that
no legitimate lottery asks you to
send money to receive a prize.
Then you encourage her to never
write checks or wire money to
anyone, anywhere who says she's
won the lottery.
In a foreign lottery,
More than just the odds
are against you.
