The Scam Alert Blog

An interesting point in this article covering yet another example of the lottery scam is this; if someone has been scammed this does not remove them from being a target but, in fact, makes them more of a target to future scammers.

Some opportunists prey on people who have been scammed by keying in on their anger or need for revenge against the scammer. They will purport themselves to be from the government, financial institutions, or a third party business experienced in getting your money back. In fact, they are wanting you to give them more money under the false pretense that they will use it to get back money that was previously stolen from you. Always check out anyone who contacts you regarding getting your money back with the Better Business Bureau or the appropriate government agency.
