The Royal Gibraltar Police have issued a warning to the public after another wave of lottery scams commonly referred to as 'Nigerian' or '419' scams have hit the Rock. Many of these have been sent by post and residents of the Costa del Sol have also been targeted. You should exercise extreme caution if you receive unsolicited calls, emails, or letters which purport substantial wins with the 'El Gordo', 'La Primitiva', Euro Millions lottery or other similar institutions - especially if you haven't entered any of these lotteries.
The RGP says fraudsters are seeking to obtain bank and other personal details from their victims under the pretext that the winnings will be credited to their accounts. The personal and bank details are used by these criminals to fraudulently withdraw funds from the victims. Any such letters received in Gibraltar should be forwarded to the RGP's Financial Crime Unit.
