"The Jamaican lottery scam is a cruel, persistent and sophisticated scam that has victimized seniors throughout the nation"
What's so sophisticated about it? Honest question. Seems like the oldest trick in the book, as primitive and crude as scams only get. One that couldn't possibly work against anyone but most senile people. It's a sad story, I'm just missing the "sophistication" element.
- saint_fiasco 11y agoThe sophisticated part is getting the phone numbers of old people to begin the scam and then laundering the money at the end.
- V-2 11y agoAs far as I know these can be simply bought on black market... it's not like these scammers get them by themselves, hacking into databases etc.
