Full Notification

<p>The National City Police Department would like to advise the community to always be wary anytime someone representing themselves as a Clearing House or Lottery representative contacts you in any way (usually by telephone) soliciting money from you in order to claim a prize. These types of scammers use a variety of stories, such as:<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
<li>Claiming you have won a prize, but you need to pay money to register to win by wiring money to them. &ndash; It&rsquo;s a scam.</li>
<li>Asking you to pay the taxes on winnings up front by wiring money to an account. &ndash; It&rsquo;s a scam.</li>
<li>Claiming a prize team with winnings is right around the corner, but you must first wire money to an account before they can deliver the prize to you. &ndash; It&rsquo;s a scam.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
