According to Craig Crosby at thebsreport.wordpress.com:
A Randolph couple has lost nearly a quarter of a million dollars to scammers who promised them a financial windfall, according to police.
Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty said Monday his office is investigating the fraud, which was reported to the sheriff’s office and the Augusta Police Department last week by the victims’ credit card company.
“The victims in this case believed that they had won a large prize,” Liberty said. “They maxed out nine credit cards, withdrew retirement funds and emptied their savings in order to make the payments to this fraudulent company.”

Too bad it was an elderly couple that got ripped off, and will never be able to recover their life savings.
