How does that scam go?
You know those scams where they say you won so many milllions of dollars and all you have to do is send them the 24000 to get it ? How do those work, exactly? I have a friend who has received one of those letters with a check. What would happen if they cashed the check but didn't send it to the people? Wouldn't that be beating them at their own game?

This is scam stuff, which is why I'm locking it. It's a fair question, but I want to give the scam as little publicity as possible.

Local Iowa police report surge in lottery scam lettersReply
The scam succeeds if a person deposits or cashes the check and sends a check or money order of their own to the company, because the deposited check will come back bad and they will have lost however much they sent in.

Some people have been using these scam letters to scam a loan from family members and friends with a promise to pay them back with a large bonus as soon they receive their winnings.

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. If a younger person falls victim to this age old scam, then they are foolish and have paid a lot of money for a simple life education course. I offer the same course for 10 bucks...
