We have had a number of enquiries from members of the public regarding letters they have received suggesting they have won a free lotto or lottery draw. 

These letters do not relate to any legitimate lottery activity run by Age Concerns in the UK or Age Concerns internationally.  We have reported the scam to the Office of Fair Trading and we are following the advice of their specialist ‘Scambusters’ team in dealing with this matter. 

If you are concerned that a letter you have received about lottery winnings may be a scam you can get further information and advice from the Consumer Direct website or by calling them on 08454 04 05 06.
