In the past hundred years, no scam has generated more dollars world wide, than the Lottery scam. Criminals will target innocent victims by employing any possible strategies. They used to rely strictly on contacting people by mail, but have now added internet spyware, business directories, or any other avenue that can provide the person’s name. The con artist informs the individual that they are the winner of a huge lottery or money sweepstakes, and the web begins to be spun.
