A BARNSLEY couple is warning people not to fall for a scam after they received a letter informing them they had won £825,000 on the People’s Post Code Lottery.
Alan Newsome and his partner May Cotton were overjoyed when they received a letter from Spain informing them of the win.
But after reading they had to pay an administration fee before a cheque could be sent out to them Alan began to smell a rat.
He contacted the People’s Post Code Lottery and they confirmed it was a scam.
