Lotto Scams
Description
The group of fraudsters shown in this episode of Scammed ran an international, family-run scheme that lasted over 20 years and spanned two generations, as the son took over his father's well-established plan. Sending out thousands of forged international lotto letters, the group convinced others into believing it was a legitimate lotto organization that also ran a pension fund for its regular playing customers. Here we see how the U.S. Secret Service was able to track down this ring of criminals and bring them all to justice.
