Lottery scam targets Manx residents

Island's police issue warning

The police are warning of a scam targeting Manx residents.

Members of the public have contacted the Isle of Man Constabulary after receiving a letter from the "International Postcode Lottery", claiming the recipient has won a prize.

Those receiving the letter are then asked to contact the firm to receive their winnings via a bank transfer.

Officers say this isn't a legitimate company and those receiving this letter should report it to Action Fraud.
