People are being approached by letter and by telephone informing them they have won a large sum of money.

They are then being asked to pay either monies for "insurance" purposes or as "release fees" to get the prize money released.

There is no prize money and this is a variation on previous attempted frauds.

Residents are recommended Not To Make payments any such requests and not to provide any personal information or banking details.

Refer any such attempts to the Police or Trading Standards. Thank you
