I knew it was a scam instantly. I haven't registered for the Postcode Lottery but they knew my name and I declined politely. When you call the same number back it doesn't exist :-)

As others, several calls from this number. Answered when I was expecting a response from a tradesmen. Indian sounding female, who spoke very quickly. Insistent that I have won the postcode lottery and need to give bank details so that they can send me a 1p to confirm my identity. I said that they would have my identity proof already as they were ringing me! I realised it was phishing and said I was not interested and she started repeating the same thing, so I hung up. Where do you report these people?

Claims to be post code lottery and I have won vouchers for my local shops. They have called before. Indian call centre. Asked to speak to their manager to confirm but they hung up.

Asked me if I wanted to add another year's warranty to my washing machine as the warranty had expired. (not a clue if it has or not). When I said no thanks the person immediately hung up without trying to persuade me, which made me doubt they were genuine.

Received call claiming to be from the Postcode Lottery suggesting I have won a voucher that entitles me to 50% off discount in supermarkets, restaurants, take outs and FREE airline travel and FREE villa for four valid for a year, However I was suspicious when they asked could they have my bank details to send me 1p to prove it was me to enablethem to validate my discoubt. I said I did not have details on me. Meanwhile I have messaged the Postcode lottery to verify. They (above number) will call me again tomorrow when I can provide my bank details. I think not!

Just had “Victor” call with a very thick Indian sounding accent, claiming I had a discount card for supermarkets etc. Started to ask for details- which was odd as postcode lottery would have them? Hung up I’m sure they will try again

Definitely Indian/Asian person. Telling me I had won a discount card and free flights. I cut them off as it was obviously a scam.

Under this telephone number - which is not in service when you call them back - claim they are ringing from the Postcode Lottery and that you have won a discount card that you can use at supermarkets and also they have free flights for you too - all they need is you bank details in which to pay one penny to and then they will send the discount card etc - advised if they were calling from the Postcode Lottery they would have my bank details and then scarily they tell me how much my direct debit is for - this makes me now think that Postcode Lottery is not secure.

These people are actually based in India and claiming to be postcode lottery where u have won a voucher that entitles you to 50% off discount in supermarkets, restaurants, take outs and free Virginia airline travel and free villa for a year, However I smelt a rat when they asked could they have my bank details to send me 1p to prove it was me, so I said I would contact postcode lottery myself and as I thought it was indeed a scam please do not be fooled.
