Online lottery, do they really exist?

Everyday in newspaper we can come across an incident of online lottery fraud. Strangest part of such incidents is that, the victims mostly the literate people, who have some idea of such frauds. One thing which I can't understand is that how come literate people become victims to such incidents. Is it their greed for money which put them in situation where in they end up shelling money from their own pocket for no returns or something else.

Most of the people who assess net these have at least some idea about such fraud. Whenever I get such mail I just delete it without even reading it. Such mails they never come in inbox most of the time you can find them at spam only very rarely they do come in inbox.

Even cyber crime department officials are not able to locate fraudsters as the information furnished by them to the victim turns out to be false most of the time. Hence the chances of failure in nabbing the culprits is quite high.

I feel " prevention is better than cure " policy should be adopted to avoid becoming prey to such incidents..

Do you agree with or not?
