Postal scam call

A Pagham man has warned ofa postal scam. Derek Grimsdell, of St Thomas Close, was alarmed to receive an 'award notification' from the Loteria Primitiva about a 615,810 euro prize he had won in the El-Gordo sweepstake lottery programme in Spain.

He was told to provide details of his bank account to an individual in Madrid to unlock his '˜prize'.

Mr Grimsdell said the letter was simply a scam to defraud unsuspecting people of personal financial information. He urged anyone else who was sent similar information to immediately destroy it.
