RESIDENTS are being warned to beware of falling victim to a scam where a telephone caller says they have won a raffle, organised by Basingstoke hospital, and asks for bank details to pay the prize.
Hospital trust chief executive Mary Edwards said: “We have no connection to these phone calls and I am disappointed to hear that our name is being used in this way, particularly at this time of year. I urge anyone who receives a call like this not to give any details and to report it to the police.”
