A bizarre and appalling case.

Police and court documents said that Xxxxxx and another friend were lured to Holland in 2008 with the promise that she had won a $1 million lottery. She was met by four men who said she had to hand over $10,000 to see the loot.

"I've seen cases like this before, where victims have been suckered in, but never had a case where the victim went out and victimized about 14 other people to send their money over. She went from being a victim herself to a perpetrator," the police chief said.

Florida cops are trying to figure out what alleged "granny scammer" Xxxxxx Xxxxxx did with the more than $1 million that police say she bilked out of her friends and her pastor.
