Advanced Retirement Planning, a financial advisory firm for senior citizen is asking its clients to be cautious of the scam .The lottery scam was brought to the attention of the firm after one of the company employees was forwarded a letter from the scammers by one of the clients.

The scammers had gone a step further and even sent an authentic looking cheque accompanying the letter in order to put suspicion to the minimum.
