Type of a scam: Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

This Sunday afternoon a scammer (going by the name of "Wayne Brady") called my elderly mother to say that she had won C$500,000 in a "special" (for elderly people) draw of the Heart and Stroke 50/50 Lottery. He sent her a certificate and letter about this to her email address which she provided him with. In return, he said that for the certified cheque of the amount won to be delivered, he needed a file with ID. I sent for her (to my embarrassment) a picture of her driver's licence and telephone bill. The letter said that there would be a percentage fee for registering the certificate of winning, without which we were told the cheque could not be cashed. A certificate of registration of winning purportedly from the ScamPulse.com of Kitchener, Ontario was sent via email, purportedly from the CEO, Doug Roth from the email address [email protected]. I would be happy to provide the "certificate of registration" to you. The fee for registering the certificate was quoted as C$625 and an Interac name and email address were sent for the payment. A delivery time was given for Tuesday afternoon via purolater. I said that I would make the payment on Monday and was told to make it by 10 a.m. as there was a time constraint for preparing the delivery. A short while later, I received a phone call claiming that "Doug Roth" said the file could not be closed unless the payment was made tonight. By then, I had looked up the Heart and Stroke Foundation's website and discovered that no payments were required for winning numbers. Also, that no "yahoo" email addresses were used. I also noticed that the telephone number on the "certificate of registration" for the Kitchener, Ontario ScamPulse.com office was different from that given on Google. All this confirmed my suspicions that this was a scam which had succeeded in reeling in my mother and myself part way. She remembers buying a 50/50 last year, although her memory of the time frame is hazy. The scammer initially asked for her by her first initial, but she says also knew her address.
