Too Good To Be True? (Part 1)

They have won the lottery valued at €11,000,000! All they need to do to collect it is cover the costs of the International Bank Transfer Fees and Taxes and collect their winnings in person. Mr & Mrs Molefe buy their plane tickets and send a TT for €2,000.00 to pay the invoice for fees and taxes. They then have a huge celebration with their friends and board the plane to London the following day.”

Unfortunately, more and more of us are falling for tricks that lose money – bad people play on your greed for easy money. When Mr & Mrs Molefe got to the UK, the man from the “Lottery Board” was not at the airport to meet them as agreed. In fact, they never managed to contact the “Lottery Board” ever again.
