The victims were told that they had to pay several thousand dollars in taxes and fees in order to collect their purported lottery winnings.

This says it all. If anyone has to pay anything upfront for something that they won or is advertised as free , then there is a 100% chance it is a scam...no exceptions.

OK, is it just me !!!! in 2013 he was just WARNED of receiving money in lottery scam. DOJ you dropped the ball or are on the take for pay offs...If it is against the law to run lottery scam and receive money, then why was he not put into jail and track down any others involved.
