Local POLICE ALERT Message from PC Rob MORANT

I have been informed of a People’s Post Code Lottery scam that has been sent to a resident in Copythorne letting them know they had won £825,000; fortunately they did not call the company or pay the release fee. Please be aware of this scam and if you receive a letter that appears to be too good to be true please report it to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 as they collate the information on these letters for investigation.

Further details can be found by searching ‘peoples postcode lottery scam’ on the internet and there are sample images of the letters being sent. Please

contact me if you would like further details
