Scammers have been targeting households by claiming they have won on the People's Postcode Lottery. The scam involves homeowners receiving a letter saying they have been randomly selected to win money from an unclaimed prize pot.
The letter says they have been picked using data from the electoral roll. It uses this as a way to convince people who are not People's Postcode Lottery customers that it is genuine.
But according to consumer champion's Which?, there are some giveaways the letter is a fake. Firstly, it reportedly uses an address not on the People's Postcode Lottery website.
