THE GARDAI in Castleblayney have issued a warning to people that bogus letters are circulating in the area falsely telling that people have won money in a European lottery.

The fraudsters are asking the recipients of these letters to furnish their bank account numbers in order to claim their prize.

The Gardai are warning people not to give such details as this is a well-organised con trick and could give these fraudsters access to money in their account. Other people in the area have in the past received e mails to that effect and the same advice pertains.
