Someone found out her name and created a Facebook page posing as Lauzon. Apparently, the scammer is said to have shared his intention to “help people financially” on this page, as quoted by the “Sun”. However, there was no question of help. The scammer only appeared to want to donate money to those in need. In reality, he had a set game in mind.
Lottery winner donates her money? There is a scammer behind it
A woman from the oceanic island group of Fiji almost fell for the fake post. She asked for the equivalent of around 700 euros to be able to repair her broken roof. “When it rains heavily, the water always penetrates into the house,” complained the woman.
The scammer then immediately offered her over 70,000 euros, but only if she first transferred 300 Canadian dollars, around 200 euros, in bitcoins. The woman would have almost done so if the broadcaster CTV News hadn’t approached her. “I was really happy because no one has ever offered me so much money before,” the woman said.

The spook was then discovered during investigations and the actual lottery winner, Christine Lauzon, informed the lottery that the Facebook profile was not hers. Facebook then deleted the page. The woman from the Fiji Islands did not receive the promised money for her roof. However, she was lucky because a good Samaritan had heard about her misfortune.

Travis Shawcross, the chief executive of Pioneer Health Care in Ontario, had heard about the attempted scam and wanted to help the woman. Because although she hadn’t lost any money, it still continued to drip through the roof into her house. “Well, you know, it’s only a thousand. If that fixes her roof and she’s happy, I’ll be more than happy to do it,” the “Sun“. And he did.
“He helped me. He already sent me the money. A thousand dollars so I can rebuild my house,” the woman said happily. “And I’m so grateful and happy for Travis’ help,” she thanked him.
Shawcross said he was once in need himself. “I know what it’s like to have nothing.” (mbo)
>>Editor’s note<
Gambling can be addictive. When gambling behavior gets out of control and becomes a substitute for other personal problems, it can develop into pathological behavior and even into gambling addiction. It is then no longer just about spontaneous leisure time fun, but the game then suddenly takes on questionable functions: avoiding fear, panic, depression and other negative feelings or avoiding problems.
Anyone who thinks they are addicted to gambling or know someone who might be addicted to gambling can get help. For this there is the free and anonymous hotline 0800/1372700. More information on bzga.
