Usually the name is a giveaway
Asian women called Esme or Alice and asian males called Derek ..


Anyways if I get an asian voice telling me that I had won a million pounds I’d just hang up

Is this more box ticking or is Lotto run by Asians ( like soooo many business now are )

You have to call the lottery people if you think you have won so not sure how it would be a scam? How would they have the phone number of someone who had a winning ticket?

They play the actual phone calls on the radio plus the winner’s response when during the National Lottery advertisement

They only call you if you’ve bought your ticket online and haven’t claimed it. There’s contact details.

If a random voice told me I’d won a mil, I’d obviously be suspicious — that’s just called having a brain. But you? You hear an Asian voice and short-circuit. The problem’s not scams, it’s that you’ve got racism on autopilot.
