I get the fake messages and the fake accounts trying to dupe someone.
Where does the $10,000 come in though? What in the world could a person who thinks they are owed lottery winnings possibly be told that would get them to release $10,000?
"The final paperwork went through and Your 1.2 million dollar cheque has been sent!"
*sends picture of huge 5 feet tall 1.2 million cheque in an email*
"Now the Canadian government border police might call you about any duties you owe, last cheque we sent to your country had only 0.1% of a duty on it. So that's nothing really. Take care and thank you for choosing The Washington liqueur and lotteries commission!"
*she gets a phone call asking for a money order or the 0.1% - 10,000 to be sent asap to the Canadian borders head office at this address*
Or some other similar ***. It's not hard to live and *** over people, especially older generations sadly.
