Warning over Lottery Scam
A new postal scam seems to be targeting the area – residents have been receiving letters claiming to be from the ‘Euro Millions Lottery’ through their doors claiming they have won a large amount of cash.
These letters are asking for people to send an administration fee along with bank details to claim the prize and also include a phone number which is suspected to be a premium rate number.
Police confirmed this is a scam and encourage all residents to destroy any such letters that they receive.
