Lottery fraudsters freshen up their repertoire

Theres a prize for you, just pay a small fee to open a bank account (or transport costs, bank fees, overheads etc.), and you will be a millionaire! Sounds familiar, but old tricks become stale over time. So, the fraudsters have come up with a new variation of an old scam. The fraudsters assume a victim will find it easier to believe in a generous donation from a complete stranger than in a lottery ticket that they have purchased themselves.
