Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this caller dangles the allure of free lottery wins to lure you in, but it's often a trap set by scammers. Reports highlight suspicious tactics, such as knowing personal details like old addresses or names, likely from pilfered data lists. Hang up immediately if they press for information or push for emails—never share details. Block the number and report to Action Fraud to help curb these nuisances. Stay vigilant; genuine lotteries don't cold-call with prizes. If in doubt, verify independently through official channels to safeguard your privacy and avoid potential fraud.
They pitched free lottery tickets – who could resist? Yet they linked them to my ex’s address, a detail I’ve never used, which raised red flags. Whenever a call mentions that address, I refuse to supply any information, even when they propose emailing me.
I missed the call and didn’t pick up; I wasn’t expecting any ring from Harrogate.
The call appeared linked to a National Lottery fraud; I ended it. The caller knew my name, suggesting they purchased a list.
