Lottery Scam’


20:30 |

14 Nigerians and 1 Chilean have been arrested by Police at Málaga following investigations into a ‘Lottery Scam’. Victims received letters, sometimes at their home address abroad, informing them they had won a lottery and were asked to supply bank details and a small ‘transfer fee’. Investigators have estimated that the proceeds from their joint operations could have exceeded six million euros in 12 months. As well as 43 mobile telephones and a quantity of cash, officers confiscated false documentation used for opening bank accounts. Into these accounts, 19,000 euros had been transferred from abroad by victims of the fraud, while a total of 100,000 euros had been transferred within two months into 15 other accounts. The police are now appealing for anyone who thinks they may been a victim of these gangs to come forward.
