State Comptroller warns of lottery scam
On February 3, 2012 New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli issued a warning of a lottery scam involving mail containing fraudulent checks that appear to have been issued by New York State. “An offer of easy money is usually too good to be true and that is the case here.” DiNapoli said.
