The most effective scam running today is the lottery scam, also known as the advance fee fraud. In this scam, a fraudster impersonates a government official or another trusted person and tells the victim they have inherited a large sum of money or won the lottery, but first they need to pay taxes or other fees. The victim loses their money when they send the funds as requested. This scam is especially prevalent in countries with a large number of mobile phone users, as they can be easy marks because of their increased access to electronic payments and a higher likelihood of naivety.
