Police warning of lottery swindle
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 posted 11:30 AM EDT
Northern Constabulary said residents in the Highlands have been targeted with letters claiming huge cash winnings were due
to them.
Dornoch-based Insp Neil MacKinnon said: "The simple test for the public is if you have not bought into such a scheme you
cannot win."
The letters were believed to originate from Europe and Africa.
Insp MacKinnon said: "Unfortunately, in recent weeks the Police have been made aware of a victim of the Spanish Lottery Scam
who has suffered considerable financial loss."
He advised anyone who received the letters to dispose of them.
