Expert Opinion
Reports consistently highlight unsolicited calls claiming lottery wins to extract personal information. Four accounts describe this tactic, with callers requesting details like name and address under false pretences. No legitimate lottery notifies winners via random calls. Block the number immediately and avoid sharing any data. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to reduce such nuisances. If details were given, monitor accounts for unusual activity and consider reporting to Action Fraud. Staying cautious prevents falling for these common scams, protecting privacy effectively.

I answered and they explained they were having line issues and would call back; I have now blocked the number.

It appears to be a scam – they called claiming I’d won a free lottery entry and then demanded a bunch of personal information.
