It is sad this scam is still working. It is even worse to see vulnerable members of our society being targeted for their life savings. “Jamaican lottery scam victim hoping to get back her $400K” how do we reach these vulnerable people with our message? abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/…

Yeah I wonder what the rate of multiple scams are on people. Not sure I’ve ever seen any data on this.

In 2008, a woman was scammed $400k even though the bank, local police, and FBI all told her it was a scam, but she kept sending money anyway. She only stopped when the FBI threatened to arrest her if she sent more money. That’s what you’re up against. theguardian.com/technology/2…

I suspect it’s similar to gambling addiction, where the big payoff is just around the corner, but only if you stay in the game.
