March 12, 2013 (San Diego’s East County)--The United States Postal Inspection Service is warning the public about foreign lottery scams. In three years, American consumers lost over $42 million in lottery scams. Lottery fraud victims not only suffer the devastation of a financial loss, but even worse, the psychological pain and suffering that take a physical toll on the victims. And many victims suffer alone, because they are too embarrassed to report the crime and seek assistance. These scams continue to plague our nation’s citizens and can only be stopped by educating the public about this devastating crime.
