It can't be any more clear than this. Really, it can't. If an older person falls for this scam they shouldn't be in control of their finances.

I got this email informing me I won a prize in the Irish Lottery, which is strange since I have not bought any tickets. And I`m thousands of miles away in Australia and the Irish State Lottery doesn't have a subscription service.
