    Those targeted were wrongly told they had won a lottery and asked to send a payment before prize money could sent.

    The faked documents asked them to make an initial payment of 900 euros ($1,400, £720) in taxes or administrative costs.

    At least 1,500 people were defrauded.

    are their really that many silly people on this earth that would fall for this? :confused:
    I heart The Capital ;)
