Jamaican Lotto scammer reveals new Lottery scheme

Criminals involved in the multi-million dollar lotto scam have come up with a new scheme that targets the very victims whose lives were devastated by illicit activity.

Details of the latest scheme was revealed to Loop News by one of those involved in the criminal activity that has shattered the lives of hundreds of victims across the world, more so in the United States of America.

“Criminals are now calling some of the very persons, who fell victim to the scheme,” said one of the players as he gave Loop News an insight into his world.

“These players will call the victims and tell them that they are from law enforcement. Criminals will also give the victims the names of persons in authority and tell the personsthat they are investigating their cases,” the source said.

Victims, who are desperate to regain some of the funds they would have lost in the first scam are encouraged to do some research on the person, who criminals are posing as to gain their trust.

The victims are then told that authorities are planning several sting operations to catch the perpetrators and want the victims to be involved.

The unthinkable then happens.

The victims are told that they have to send money to help fund the operations to go after individuals who had defrauded them in the first place.

The scheme has been confirmed by a senior expert in the Lotto Scam Task Force of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.

“We have heard about the scheme and have been working to put in place measures to clamp down on this practice,” Sergeant Kevin Watson, who heads the Lotto Scam Task Force, told Loop News.

Police said the new scheme has left victims who were already scammed devastated and on edge.

Authorities say they have stepped up their campaign to educate and inform persons that at no time will law enforcers ever request funds from victims to fund their operations.

Scammers lead victims to believe they have won a drawing or lottery, and that the cash or prizes will not be released without upfront payment of fees or taxes.

Scammers frequently target the elderly or those with disposable income.
