Sarnia police are warning the public about a lottery phone scam that's circulating.
They say residents have received a phone call from someone claiming to be from the local OLG office, advising them they had won $450,000 in last night’s lottery. However, in order to collect the money, they have to pay a processing fee.
Police say OLG does not contact winners via phone, and that prize winners do not have to pay anything.
Police remind the public to never send money, gift cards, bit coin, credit card information, or cheques to anyone making the request or demand over the telephone unless you have been the one doing the calling.
