Goldsmith tricked into claiming false online lottery with $892 loss

Fraudsters defrauded a 50-year-old goldsmith who purchased an online Kerala lottery ticket of $892, claiming that the ticket had won a prize of $17,728. The miscreants made him send them the money while citing a number of charges.
However, the victim realized he was being duped when the con artists persisted in requesting more money.

The victim reported to the police that he came upon a post about the Kerala lottery on Facebook while using his smartphone. The post included a few ticket numbers. A webpage opened after he clicked on the advertisement.
