dc.description.abstractAdvance payment scams are common across the world and are facilitated through access to communication technology. The frequency of reports (2011) suggests that the main focus of the scams is located in the east coast of the US, especially in areas where there are large populations of Jamaicans. This paper provides background and investigation of the Jamaican lottery scam. Key agencies guard information regarding this issue and, in other cases, the information does not exist or is not recorded in a useful manner.en
