THE CANADIAN PRESS/Richard Plume

Ontario Provincial police are warning the public about a lottery scam.

Police say some residents of South Bruce Peninsula found a suspicious envelope — similar to a Fed Ex envelope but marked Ped Ex — in their mailbox.

Documents inside informed them they’d won three million dollars, but said they had to send $25 and authorize withdrawal of a “handling fee” from their account to claim the prize.

OPP say anyone receiving such a package should contact police or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
