Notice had been taken, that the forum had been captured, and deployed for an improper application, that degraded the independent, free thinking and high standards of journalism in the Lottery Post.

The Lottery Post is often cited for authority in matters concerning the lottery and it had rightfully earned that rank over the years.

The contents that had been removed, did not reflect the overall spirit of the Lottery Post and assurance of the Site, to prospective participants, that they ca... [ More ]

Exactly, you just never know, My Grandma, Mild mannered, Had Parkinsons and Had a stroke she didn't move around well, one night she said her Rosary, and smoked her 1 cigarette of the day with her shot of Jim Beam watched her Johnny Carson. Don't know what got into her, but she picked up a brass cowbell and chucked it at my Grandpa, hit him between the eyes. 3 stitches and he never drank any of her Jim Beam again. See you never know with old people.

Knowing about a neighbor that had it is nowhere near the same thing as dealing with it personally 24/7 in your own house. Trust me. You do not want to go through that experience. And unless you have done that yourself then you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Anyone that has will tell you the same thing.

I hope you never have the experience of having to take care of someone with dementia or Alzheimer's. It is a disease that starts slowly and gets progressively worse. In the beginning the person may realize their memory is going or they are getting forgetful. As it gets worse the person often doesn't even think there is anything wrong with themself. They won't recognize their own family or know who you are. They may not want to get dressed in the morning, ask you the same question 20 times in a r... [ More ]

Once in a blue moon a smart/savvy bank employee will catch this.

Nineteen states have outlawed bitcoin machines that look like an ATM. A couple of months ago watched an older woman, on the phone depositing !=100 bills in. Asked her if she being scammed---no she said. Big time regional manager happened to be there and he spoke to her. Two days later a well off looking guy kept putting in 100 bills. We stopped looking when screen said $14.5K

I have a tendency to tell them they do not do a very good job as a scammer. I had one guy who actually called me twice in a month with a local area code. He said a bank account had been opened at another bank with my name and ssn and his badge number was xxxxx. I said oh my but my credit monitoring gives Instant notices and what branch was he with. He gave me his badge # again and I said you do not know which branch you are at with a local area code???!!! He hung up and when he called me again I... [ More ]

lol i'll have to try that. last time i got one of these calls (and picked up because the number was spoofed and i didn't realize it) i asked why don't they target other scammers instead of average folks since scammers have way more money.

Poor thing. That's why it's not safe to live by yourself as an elderly especially these fraudulent days. 3 yrs for that mule's end, is waaay too EZ. Karma is gonna get him or unfortunately, one or more of his innocent family but I HOPE it's HIM!! Mule's end.

Poor woman. There are also people far younger that fall victim to the same scams. If someone asks you for money online or via a call, it is a scam. The rare scam call that I pick up ends up with the scammer hanging up after I ask him psych related questions. What motivates you to do these scams? How was your childhood? Were you bullied in school?

I really think low self esteem , being unhappy, and living in a fantasy world has something to do with it. Years ago there was a Dateline episode

Keep in mind dementia doesn't come over night...it starts with lack of judgment. This is how a lot of elderly lose their life savings to scams ,

I hate to victim blame but you got to be a special kind of dumb to sell your house and send someone $600,000 thinking that you needed to do that to claim a lottery prize.

I'm sorry but that needed to be said that is just crazy.

Don't get me wrong the guy is evil I feel bad for the woman did she not have anyone at all she could talk to about it when it started that could have sent her on the right path and ignoring him..

Relentless harassment from criminal fraudster leads to dramatic unfortunate results

By Kate Northrop

A Jamaican scammer was sentenced to prison after he severely harassed an elderly Washington woman in a lottery scheme that cost her $600,000 and her home.

An elderly woman lost her house and sent over a half a million dollars to a criminal fraudster after he made her believe that she won a $22 million prize in the lottery.

Roshard Andrew Carty, 34, was sentenced to three years in
