I put this in the 'Shetland News' section, because I got a letter today, and want to warn anyone else up here who gets one similar, or hears of a friend or relative, especially anyone vulnerable?

 

A typed envelope with my correct name & address, and a real Spanish postage stamp came today.

 

"International Lottery Board S.L. Award notification"

 

Looks quite convincing... but a quick gooogle reveals that a lot of folk have been caught out- if anyone completes the Claim form or phones, faxes or e-mails, they then ask for money for insurance, or, they just use your bank details to steal from you.

 

They send e-mails too telling you about a win, and also sometimes try phoning.

 

I shall be handing the letter in to Trading Standards tomorrow.
