Mendota Police warn of Lottery scam


MENDOTA – The Mendota Police Department has received a report of a lottery scam happening in the community. Authorities advise that you should never provide anyone you do not know personally any financial information or banking records. The old adage of “If it is too good to be true, it probably is” is sound advice. A Lottery Scam is typically a con where the victim is told they won a great sum of money, but have to deposit their own funds as a show of good faith, processing fees, or other charges. Many of these scammers use names similar to legitimate corporations. If you have any doubts, contact your local police department about unsolicited mailings or phone calls.
