Scamming is increasing, and it's largely a very lucrative endevour with no consequence. There are many types of scam - lottery scams are 1 type amongst many, and some are combined at times - romance scam followed by recovery scam for eg.
It's better to post from an informed position on stuff like this, when it comes to advising on the extent of the problem - many people fall for scammers, which is why awareness, and continued education as the scams diversify are so important.
The number of successful scams is growing at an exponential rate. | |

Problem is that many people want to believe they have been lucky & turn off their scam detector.
I know a number of people who invested thousands to become Herballife resellers but never recovered their initial investment. I suppose there are many people who are/were successful & made money but not in my circle of friends.
