Postcode Lottery Voucher Scam - Beware of Scammers

I just received a call from "Postcode Lottery" claiming people in my postcode have won a discount card for a number of shops and a voucher for a Villa break. They confirmed my postcode without me telling them, but they then asked for my bank details to deposit 1p in my bank to activate the card. I of course declined and they hung up. I called Postcode lottery and they have confirmed it’s a scam and they clearly have all the RG postcodes and working down a list.

Just had exactly the same call. I'm in the Norwich (NR) area so they clearly operate anywhere they can - not even a clever scam.

an anonymous user from: Cadishead, Manchester, England, United Kingdom

I have just received a call supposedly from Postcode Lottery claiming I had won £399, gift vouchers and a villa holiday. They knew my postcode without me giving it and wanted my bank details to activate this and to pay in the money. I was suspicious and asked where they were located and was told central London which I did not believe. After refusing to give my details several times they hung up. I then checked the caller’s number on my phone and this was 0331657559.
