Unfortunately I knew an elderly lady who fell for this for about $40,000. When she kept going to her bank to get money orders and extensions on her credit card, they just let her. When her son stopped her, the scammers kept calling her to tell her that he was just trying to cheat her out of her winnings. But since the scammer was overseas, there was nothing that could be done about it.

There are some good vids on YouTube where scammers have (accidentally) called people (including the police) and they just played along for a while.
