The big tip-off is being asked to pay to get your prize.

The article also states that older people fall for this, and will not listen to the other members of their family that tell them it's a con job. Sad.
Oh please! People of ALL ages fall for these scams, simply because they are either greedy or desperate. I get tired of reading about how the elderly are victimized. What about all the others that you never hear about?? Just because I am a senior, doesn't mean that I have suddenly lost my mind or my ability to recognize when someone is trying to scam me. Give the "elderly" a break please. We old timers could teach you younger ones a thing or two.
