Scam
RESIDENTS have been urged to remain vigilant after it was confirmed Lottery scams are at their highest levels since November 2019.
The warning comes from North Wales Police cyber crime officer Dewi Owen, who explained: "Victims are contacted by phone or via messages on social media, notifying them that they are on a ‘winners list’ or have won a lottery prize.
"They are told that fees are required to obtain winnings, or the victims are asked to purchase vouches (e.g. Amazon/Google Play gift cards).
"This is a scam - Don’t fall for it!
"Please make sure that your family, friends and neighbours are aware of this scam."
