It is not something she is proud of.

A woman lost $400 after responding to a Facebook post and wants to share what happened so others don't fall for the same scam.

The Stomper said:"It contained all the betting predictions and a photo of the ticket and a cheque on hand. Almost all of the posts have someone commenting 'a great win'. "They claimed they needed two to three hours for verification, which I found to be amiss. When they communicated with me through Messenger, they took only a few minutes to reply. But they were so inefficient when verifying a payment.
