I agree that Nneka did well here, as these scams usually seem to be aimed at people who are or should be desperate enough to suspend their caution and accept something that is too good to be true. I suspect these lottery clowns target their mailings into disadvantaged zip codes. The US Census data makes this easy, and probably the first to use zip codes was Fingerhut to target their working class customers. But then Jay got his trolly off of the tracks with "This scam is coming out of Canada and we are not very well liked by Canadians, not that I blame them!" "For example: Some of the reasons why we are not well liked include the fact that when visiting Canada, our citizens are rude and inconsiderate. Our country is using up there natural resources, like Oil and Gas. And our Governments policies are very unpopular." "So as you can see, even if you contacted Canadian Officials, the chances of them being sympathetic or helping would be remote and this explains why Canada is in the Top Three places for Telemarketing/Mail Marketing Scams. " "In case your curious, Florida, California and Canada are the top three places... Hmmm... a lot of Canadians go to Florida for the winter." ALL of this is Pure HogWash, Jay - Newport, Kentucky What are you smoking?

Nneka, That was a good call on your part, if people took the time to do what you did, well then, we just wouldn't have great websites like the Ripoff Report! If you had fallen for this scam, you would be "SOL!" The BBB's, State Attorney Generals, FTC and so on, would not and could not help you. This scam is coming out of Canada and we are not very well liked by Canadians, not that I blame them!
