Public warned about lottery scam that uses the official San Diego County seal

District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis warned the public Tuesday about a lottery scam that uses the official San Diego County seal and appears to be targeting veterans and senior citizens. The District Attorney's Office is investigating the scam and is asking victims to come forward. "These scammers are using the legitimacy of a government seal to prey on vulnerable seniors who served their country," Dumanis said. "It can be embarrassing for people to come forward once they realize they've been duped, but we want to help victims and hold these heartless scam artists responsible
for their crimes."
