Police are warning the public about scams involving “Award Claim Notification” letters being sent to Hawaii residents.
The letters come with a claim number and an authentic-looking check paid to the order of the recipient in the amount of thousands of dollars. These letters include a phone number with instructions to call a “claims agent” to claim the total prize winnings, usually more than $10,000.
Police advise anyone receiving these letters to be cautious, as acting on the instructions could result in the loss of a significant amount of money.
