One victim reports'substantial loss' after receiving an OPP alert about a new lottery scam.

There is a recent surge in a lottery scam that is affecting individuals through various communication channels, including phone calls and social media platforms.

Scammers are deceiving their victims by claiming that they have won the lottery and then requesting money from them. An incident on Aug. 21 serves as an example, where a victim suffered a significant financial loss after being informed about their supposed lottery win and subsequently being asked to provide funds to claim the prize.
