ALERT- Beware of Fraudulent Diversity Lottery Emails and Letters
August 9th, 2011
The U.S. Department of State has issued a warning relating to scam letters and emails being sent to Diversity Immigrant Visa program (DV) applicants. These scammers are posing as the U.S. government in an attempt to procure payment from DV applicants. In fact, these emails and letters appear so real that someone who does not know any better could easily fall prey to these scammers. For additional information on this recent alert and how to protect yourself, see the attached DV Scam Alert released by the Department of State, Office of Visa Services.
