I received a call from this number claiming to be from the lottery, saying I had 7 days to play for free and didn't need to pay anything during those days. After those days were over, I could deposit any amount to play again. I hung up immediately and realized it was a scam.

01708918652 calling from lotto apparently updating there app. I've been getting non stop calls from all different numbers. They knew my name aswell so obviously some website sold my details that should be made illegal but unfortunately it's not. Be careful what website you personally info on. Anyway this phone caller is scam & fraud
