Please be aware of an email that a coordinator has forwarded me recently. It purports to be from the Irish lottery and suggests that someone has won the prize due to their email address being drawn out. I anticipate that most people (particular home watch members) will see through this email and will not provide any details. However, I thought it an interesting one to share as it is a new tactic - trying to suggest that your email address could be used in a prize sweep - so hinting that anyone with an email address could in theory win without being aware that they are even entered. It also tries to obtain some different information from other emails and is asking for things such as scanned copies of your identity. Although it isn't the most smooth or believable email, it is one just to be mindful of, especially in terms of the above points.
As always, never part with your personal details to people who cold call at the door, via the telephone or via email. Treat anyone who is trying to obtain any aspect of your personal data in this manner as suspicious.
CONGRATULATION !!!
