Letter: Give a scammer their own medicine

The Columbian
Published: October 27, 2013, 5:00pm

I sure did like the Oct. 12 story “Seniors can learn to hang up on scams: Phone frauds target vulnerable people, especially the elderly, non-English-speakers.” I got a call from a person with a foreign accent. He told me I had won $1 million in a lottery. He said, “All you have to do is send me $600.” I told him to keep the $600 out of my winnings and send me the balance. He hung up on me.
