3 yearsJust got a call about winning some postcode lottery. They already had my address, which made me suspicious. When I asked how I could win since I don’t even take part, the guy said it was because I’m “a customer” and was automatically registered. I asked a customer of what, and he replied it was linked to my life insurance. I pushed harder, asking whose policy it was, and he acted like I should just know. Definitely a scam, watch out!3 yearsJust rang BT call minder and it asked me to say my name first.BT3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from a lottery about a postcode prize, but they wanted all my personal info.
