Phoenix man loses $25K in lottery scam

There are all kind of scams out there and they're all designed to get your attention and lure you in. That's what happened to a Phoenix man who says he just wanted to believe he had won a lot of money.

As far as I know-the Lottery folks will NOT notify you---YOU have to let them know if you win because YOU have the winning ticket. God Bless that poor guy

[@franrc265]

If anyone claims you've won a huge sum of money, and they say you need to pay money in order to get that money, then it's a scam. I don't understand why people still fall for this kind of stuff. It sounds shady af.

[@qbeenzotherside]

This is the most fucked shit I've ever seen talk about being sold a dream he had it in his hands the whole time

[@deelite5176]

Sometimes it’s hard to trust people you do know much less people you don’t.

[@konnect7774]

He didn't get a text or email, he got it in the mail

How can anyone fall for this crap

[@valuecalc]

It's desperation for cash that clouds their judgement.

[@germanshepherd6638]

Lol, why would you get a suitcase in the mail?! 🤣

[@germanshepherd6638]

I can’t stop laughing! How could anyone fall for this?! You hick ! 🤣

I'd hide my face too if I was her

[@dimitriberozny3729]

Someone tried to play this game with me about a Powerball winning that they would share their winnings with several people on Twitter!! I told them to cut me a check,and mail it to my residence. The scammer said NO,NO I need your email address so I can send you a FedEx link! AUTOMATIC RED FLAG!! They would have sent me MALWARE that I would have clicked on,and they would have controlled my device getting into banking and work apps stealing money from me! I reported them to Twitter as a phishing scam and hope that Twitter suspended them!!

[@saucebands4460]

He probably knew the person who scammed him. How else would they know that he had money or was that gullible?

[@valuecalc]

Absolutely. The scammers can be people who know or met us.

[@tammieprintz9282]

Terrible - too trusting - so sad… FTC do something!

[@redsocks771]

In hindsight the scam is obvious. But the power of gold ultimately won here. It looks like the quality and sophistication of the scam letter is very low. You really had to believe you won to go along with this.

[@dtecum]

Unfortunately he not the sharpest tool in the shed.

[@germanshepherd6638]

How is he a mechanic?!
