Don't part with your cash - that's the warning to Royal Borough punters as one local resident narrowly avoided falling victim to a suspected international lottery scam.
Every day, people throughout the UK open their post to find they've unexpectedly won a draw, lottery or other exciting prize. While much of this mail is genuine, some of it is a dishonest attempt to trap you into parting with your money. The Department for Business Enterprise & Regulatory Reform has issued a leaflet on this.
