Have the NJ police warned the good people of the state of the scam their legislators are planning. Seems the elected officials want to sell the lottory; get all that lottory money in one big pile.

What will the elected officials do after spending all the money they get for the Lottory? Retire to Florida? Probably.

In the case of the 84-year-old woman, her credit card company covered the loss and is not charging her, said James, who noted that is not typical.

N.J. police warn of lottery scams

Lottery Post — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 12:48:01 GMT

Police are reminding residents to be wary of so-called international lottery scams in which large sums are promised but require recipients to send money before they can claim their prize.

Two Camden, New Jersey, residents were recently victims of this scam, police said.

One woman, an 84-year-old, sent a total of $25,000, money she got through cash advances on a credit card.

She reported the scam to police Sept. 29 after her prize money never arrived, said Camden Det. Zsakhiemcq James.
