usagreencardlottery.org - The Fraudulent USA Green Card Lottery Website

To enter the Green Card lottery, online users should apply only on websites with names ending with ".gov" because they are official U.S. government websites. Other non-governmental websites with names ending with ".com", ".org", or ".net" provide immigration and visa related information and services, but the U.S. Department of State does not endorse, recommend or sponsor any information or material shown on those websites.

Please note that the only official way to apply for the U.S. green card lottery is to apply online at the Department of State website at https://www.dvlottery.state.gov/, and there is no fee to apply. If you have been selected in the green card lottery, you will receive the confirmation by postal mail, and NOT by email. Therefore, if you receive any such email, it is a scam.

It is recommended that you complete the green card lottery online application yourself, rather than through "Visa Consultants" or "Visa Agents" or other facilitators who offer to submit an application on your behalf because many of the websites offering the Diversity Visa (DV) Program extort money from their applicants by withholding their selection notifications that should have gone to the applicants directly in the first place.

The U.S. Government does not employ any outside consultants or private services to operate the DV program. Any intermediaries or others who offer assistance to prepare DV entries do so without the authority or consent of the U.S. Government. Use them entirely at your own risk.

Remember, some websites may not even provide any assistance in completing the online form or provide any service and just steal your money. Therefore, you should be very careful when sending any personal information to these websites as they might use your information for identity theft or in other fraudulent activities.

Online users who have used their credit card on the fraudulent website are asked to contact their banks for help.

Received via email:

"Good morning,

I am just forwarding you this email, from the scam of green card lottery.org, with the phone number and email address, so you guys can keep track of these criminals.

They call you, and when you tell them you can't speak, or to call you on a different day, they get mad at you or pressure you to continue, so they can get the money.

My guess is that they change phone numbers and/or email addresses, but in case it helps, below the details of one of the participants in the scam.

Regards,

These people call you after you fill in the form, ask you for a bunch of personal data, and then tell you before continuing with the process you have to pay the fee. Once it was a regular american guy, who got VERY rude and mad when I told him I did not want to do this, and that I would continue the process myself (he tried to pressure me into continuing and paying 300€, which of course I didnt), and this year it was an Indian guy, but I already saw it coming so I told him I could not talk now, again, he got mad, and another colleague of his called me the following day.

I didnt pick up, and they sent me an email saying we had to talk ASAP, making it seem urgent. It stops if you just tell them you can't/won't pay for anything (I responded as if I was genuinely interested but lacking the funds so I couldnt afford it and they never responded or tried again).

They're disgusting. Can we report them to some authority in the US?

Total scam, took nearly $300US for an automated service designed never to complete. Plus, they lack the legal authority to act on your behalf. Complete confidence tricksters, with a very professional looking website.

05.27.2018.....I paid 35 Dollars with my credit card for the entry and their advertised help. 1 hr later I got a phone call from a lady. She seemed nice. American. After 15 minutes of talking (be careful what you say..... She is trying to get information and depending on what you say she determines how much money she is going to ask for) she wanted more money for their 'service'.

Exactly 2,500 Dollars more. I laughed at her and ended the conversation. I truly believe they definitely are a scam.

Hi, I have received an email today saying that I have been selected for a green card and that I should fill the forms and return by march 15th. No other details except my email. Could it be a scam?

    It very much is. Try asking them questions about the money they want to take, how, the security of your card details, and maybe even give them the wrong number, see how mad and rude they get.
