Your local police department can point you in the right direction as far as reporting goes. Always remember you CANT WIN SOMETHING YOU DIDNT ENTER. www.snopes.com is a great place to keep up with current scams internet and otherwise.

If you do not check a company before entering into a transaction, you could lose your money, time and credibility. Some widely used resources are the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) and the national fraud center ( www.fraud.org) These days, you can easily find out more about a company using the internet in a few minutes. From a company's website, you can details about its ownership, how old the company really is and feedback from the company's customers.

You should contact your local TV station or something, Fox News likes to uncover the bad guys and stuff like that. Then they'll do some story and contact some commission or something. Never accept anything from a foreign lottery it's always a fraud

Check with your local FBI office and also see if you can find the website for Interpol. Leave them a detailed messge of what happened to you. Perhaps they can help in keeping someone else from getting taken. Never give personal info to someone over the phone. or in an email.If it costs you something to claim a prize,then forget it.

your local FBI office is the first place to start. they should be able to take a report and investigate it from there.
