Receiver/Bogus Attorney Scam

A caller who knows about your earlier losses asserts that your earlier winnings have been seized pursuant to a court order. He claims to be an attorney or court appointed receiver. He says you can still receive your winnings if you pay taxes again, and/or the attorney’s retainer fee, usually $10,000 to $30,000.

NEVER pay money to gain access to a prize. You just bought the prize! If you already lost the assets they have been sold or discarded and you will not get them back by paying an attorney. If that were the case, you could have saved the assets by using an attorney before you lost them.
