Here's how the swindle works. It starts with a simple phone call from an "876" area code, where the scammer often tells the victim they've just won millions of dollars in a lottery or a sweepstakes and a brand new car. All they have to do to collect is to wire a few hundred dollars in upfront processing fees or "taxes," and their "winnings" will be delivered. Often, the criminals will tell their elderly victims not to share the good news with anyone, so that it will come as a "surprise" when their family finds out.
Some Mainers have lost more than a $100,000 dollars to this scam. Others have lost their homes, their cars, and their financial independence, not to mention their security and dignity. Even then, the scammers continue to pursue their prey with a heartlessness that is hard to comprehend.
