First, The Nigerians, Now, The Jamaicans

From the Portland ME Press Herald: It began with a series of reassuring calls and a request for a $500
By the time the nonstop calls were halted six month later, Kim Nichols' elderly father had lost his health, his trust and $85,000 to Jamaica-based scam artists who were as convincing as they were relentless. And worst of all, Nichols was told there was practically nothing anyone in the federal government -- not the FBI, not the attorney general, not customs officials -- could do about it.
"I can't even begin to tell you how alone that made me feel," said Nichols, who lives near Bangor.
Nichols is far from alone.
There is a rising number of complaints from family members, phone company officials and local law enforcement that federal officials are not doing enough to address the so-called "Jamaican lottery scam" that has likely bilked millions of dollars from senior citizens in Maine and northern New England.fee -- not a back-breaking sum for a retired professional pilot -- in order to claim the prize.  http://www.pressherald.com/news/jamaican-lottery-scam-bilking-senior-citizens-out-of-millions_2013-03-10.html
It always amazes me that people fall for these scams.
Hint: If you didn't enter the Jamaican lottery, you won't win.
