The caller wants you to be part of a syndicate or group to buy a large number of lottery tickets. The caller says that this will dramatically improve your chances of winning. But, no matter what the caller says, odds of winning lotteries are still millions to one. If you ever do get money, you might only get a small fraction of the winnings. These callers try to entice consumers into participating in an investment that has little or no risk, but the potential for large returns.
Police warn that there is always risk in investing, especially investments with high returns.
If you want to invest, deal with a reputable bank or broker. These callers prey on people who have bad or no credit. For a fee, they promise to restore credit, or issue a credit card. Fixing credit problems is never that simple. Contact a lawyer or a reputable credit agency for assistance.
