Green Card Lottery fraud
Green Card Lottery fraud involves schemes that deceive individuals into paying for fake services or false promises to secure a lottery entry or immigration benefits. Scammers may pose as legitimate agents or create bogus websites, charging fees for processing applications or guaranteeing entry, which they cannot deliver. Victims often lose money and may face identity theft or other legal issues. It’s important to apply directly through official U.S. government channels and to be cautious of offers that seem too good to be true, as the Diversity Visa Program itself is free and open through the official government website.
