This sounds like a scam. If you think you have given your details to a scammer, contact your bank straight away.
Did you buy a lottery ticket? When a person wins the lottery, they don’t need to pay more money to get their lottery prize.
If you get a letter, phone call, email, or text message that says you have won a lot of money or a prize (like a holiday or iPad), think about if you entered a competition or bought a ticket. If you haven’t, the message might be a scam. Scammers will ask you to give your details or pay a fee to get your prize. Be careful about who you give your details to.
If you think you have given your details to a scammer, tell your bank. You can also report scams to Scamwatch.
