Scam Alert: US Department of State Visa Lottery Winner Email

Woohooo today is my lucky day: I won the Green Card Lottery despite being ineligible!!!!

Below is a duplication of the textual content of the very official looking email I received today from gov.travel@usa.com (gov.travel@diplomats.com) telling me that all my dreams had come true and I have won a visa to live in the good ol’ US of A.

My email spam detector wrote the email off as “Appears to be advance fee fraud (Nigerian 419)”. I completely agree with its assessment.

The email states “You are one of the 50,000 winners selected by the computer random draw from the 12.1 million entries registered in the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program . The Diversity Immigrant Visa program is a United States congressionally-mandated lottery program for receiving a United States Permanent Resident Card. It is also known as the Green Card Lottery. ”

Unfortunately I come from a country whose residents are ineligible to enter the Green Card Lottery. I would definitely have applied were Britain’s eligible to do so.

The email goes on to request its lucky recipient send an $819 processing fee to one Richard Miller via Western Union money transfer.

$819 is a lot of money to many people in this world, especially those living in countries where residents are eligible to play the Green Card Lottery. It is mostly for their benefit that I have chosen to post the entire email here.

If you receive a similar email to the one printed below here then please take note of the sender’s email address. The proper website for the US Department of State (Dos) is http://www.state.gov and official emails from DoS  employees will end in @state.gov such as the one used for the National Visa Center which is NVCINQUIRY@state.gov (compare it to the one that sent the replicated email of gov.travel@usa.com which attempts to mimic the DoS visa site sub-domain name of travel.state.gov). More DoS contact details are here. The email even hotlinks images from the official DoS website. Plus, as Aloha Dan commented below, “the Department of State doesn’t send email confirmations.. you must check the webpage with the number you got when you applied…”

I’ve forwarded the email to the US Department of State asking them to appropriately deal with its sender (or senders). I hope the perpetrators get a nice cushy room in a US jail where they will be screwed as good and hard as they’ve screwed over others, and then some.

Thanks to a comment left by The Beacon, we now know that the correct places to report these scam emails to are “the Internet Crime Complaint Center and the Federal Trade Commission online or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). If the email requests you wire money via Western Union, you may also report it to Western Union by emailing spoof@westernunion.com or by calling 1-800-448-1492.” The quoted information comes directly from the USCIS blog (United States Citizenship and Immigration Service).

Update 14th October 2011:

Please see the bootnote at the bottom of this post. I think I know how the scammers got my details but I need your help to prove it.

Processing fees

Type of Residence Card: United States Permanent Resident Card
Status: Granted! – Waiting for payment of processing fee
Amount (per person): $819

Processing fees: Included
Total: $819

Although the Diversity Visa participation was free, the law and  regulations require to every diversity visa winner to pay a visa processing  fee of $819 . The Diversity Visa(Green Card) is guaranteed upon receiving  the payment.

The per person fee for each Diversity Visa is $819, payable in U.S.  dollars or equivalent of your local currency. This $819 fee is the only fee  a winner needs to pay throughout the entire relocation process.

Accompanying family members(wife/husband, fiancee, brothers, sisters,  childrens, cousins)  may be included in the program and their visas will be  provided at the same time with yours so you can travel/move together in the  same time. However the fees must be paid per person and each member(e.g  wife, brother, parents, childrens, cousin) must pay $819. There is no  discount for childrens.

PURPOSE: The U.S. Department of State uses the fee payment primarily to  process your visa related documents and verify your identity.

Visa Payment processing instructions

The fees must be paid using Western Union money transfer and will be  processed by the U.S. embassy in the United Kingdom. Western Union is a leading provider of International person-to-person money transfer.

Name : Richard  Miller
Address: 24 Grosvenor Square
London, W1A 1AE
United Kingdom

The payment must be sent to the above U.S. embassy agent address in United  Kingdom because the U.S. Department of State decided this based on the  diplomatic relations with your country.

After you send the payment follow the next steps

a) Email copy/scan of the Western Union receipt at  gov.travel@usa.com
b) Email at gov.travel@usa.com with the
following details (you can find them on the money transfer

Upon successful interview you will receive your documents  and travel information to move in the United States. Under no circumstances  your visa status won’t be affected by the interview.

Please Note!

The payment must be sent via Western Union no later than July 30, 2011. You  are strongly encouraged not to wait until the last day to pay. Heavy demand  may result in system delays.

Under no circumstances can diversity visas be issued or adjustments  approved after this date, nor can family members obtain diversity visas to  follow-to-join the principal applicant in the U.S. after this date.

The visa processing fee(US$ 819) is mandatory for each person and the U.S.  Government doesn’t offer any discount, loan or exception.

You have been selected winner of the Diversity Visa lottery so the visa is  guaranteed upon receiving the payment fees on time.

A hard copy of this letter will be mailed to your postal address upon  receiving the payment fees.

Please be advised that even through you are a winner of Diversity Visa your  Case Number/Confirmation Number will be provided only after you send the  payment confirmation of the fees. Please do not contact us to ask for the  Case Number/Confirmation Number.

If it would be necessary to contact the U.S. Department of state YOU MUST  ALWAYS REFER TO YOUR NAME. The email address is gov.travel@usa.com

CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: AUTHORITIES: The information asked for  on this form is requested pursuant to Section 222 of the Immigration and  Nationality Act. Section 222(f) provides that the records of the Department  of State and of diplomatic and consular offices of the United States  pertaining to the issuance and refusal of visas or permits to enter the  United States shall be considered confidential and shall be used only for  the formulation, amendment, administration, or enforcement of the  immigration, nationality, and other laws of the United States. Certified  copies of such records may be made available to a court provided the court  certifies that the information contained in such records is needed in a  case pending before the court.

Good luck to anyone who has applied to be entered into the Green Card Lottery. Please be vigilant and confirm authenticity of any replies you receive because it would be a shame if your dreams were dashed by one of these pathetic fraudsters.

Bootnote

Did you apply for a Green Card through usagc.org? I know I did so about 2 years ago, before I knew I was ineligible. This is the only place I can think of that had my details as the scammers have them.

I received a promotional email through tiptopjob.com inviting me to apply for a Green Card via the services offered by usagc.org. If you completed your application form through USAGC then it’s likely the scammers hacked the USAGC database to get hold of our details.

Please think back and let me know if you have ever applied for a Green Card through USAGC.

  1. i got the same and to send money to this name :

    Name : Vincent Vanzeveren
    Address: 30 Leicester Square
    London, WC2H 7LA
    United Kingdom

    The
    payment must be sent to the above U.S. embassy agent address in United
    Kingdom because the U.S. Department of State decided this based on the
    diplomatic relations with your country.
    You
    must declare it a personal transfer (you will tell to the agent from
    Western Union that you are sending money to a relative or friend of
    yours), otherwise you will not be able to send the money.

    After you send the payment follow the next steps
    a) Email copy/scan of the Western Union receipt at dv@usafis-org.com
    b) Email at dv@usafis-org.com with the following details (you can find them on the money transfer receipt):

  2. i also got this mail…

  3. wooow 
    i received the exact email like yours. Is it a scam or real? please tell me 

  4. I smell the fishy says:

    I was completly shocked when i just recieved the email i apply year after year and wait in patience i just got the email and was so happy cause the crap my life has been recently but then i kinda caught on to the email ok they got my location,name and  my email address right but then the western union + deadline struck me a little then all the extras included plus a city of my choice, my friend actually got accepted to texas recently and you don’t get to choose they tell you which city your accepted to plus the accomadation and health care i really doubt would have been paid for.

    I smelt the fishyness because of the western union part then how the pictures are placed in the email and then when it talks about additional people it gives a nice example
    “For example if you decide to move in the United States with
    your wife and a kid the total fee is US$879(your fee) + US$879(your wife) +
    US$879(your kid) = US$2637.”

    The words “your kid” for a letter or kinda formal sense your kid wouldnt be something that would be said

    It kinda made me think back to a website i used to read through and have a daily giggle at

    http://www.419eater.com/index.php

    Enjoy that read putting scammers to work lol.

    The details they gave me of the US embasy person was the below address which was another address that comes up on the scam report
    Name : Alan Thompson
    Address: 30 Leicester Square

    London, WC2H 7LA
    United Kingdom

    After you send the payment follow the next steps
    a)
    Email copy/scan of the Western Union receipt at usafis@diversitygreencard.org
    b)
    Email at usafis@diversitygreencard.org
    with the following details (you can find them on the money transfer receipt):

    another thing is the website is down for maintence which seems
    to be strange since no goverment would just simply have a website
    offline with no official headers etc or access to other areas of the
    site so i ran a whois using dnsstuff.com for the website
    Registrant Name:Gheorghe Gabriel Vacaru
    Registrant Organization:Gheorghe Gabriel Vacaru
    Registrant Street1:73 Queens Avenue
    Registrant Street2:
    Registrant Street3:
    Registrant City:London
    Registrant State/Province:
    Registrant Postal Code:N20OJB
    Registrant Country:GB
    Registrant Phone:+44.7870730322
    Registrant Phone Ext.:
    Registrant FAX:
    Registrant FAX Ext.:
    Registrant ************@live.comSo registrants phone number is a uk mobile number (disposable) and the email address is a free hot mail email account

  5. I had received similar e mail from usafis@diversitygreencard.org

  6. Just received a USAFIS email today, contact was Thomas Krumme. His email address usafis@diversitygreencard.org

  7. Hey lucky winners i got exactly same email plus READ HERE HA HA HA:
    Name : Danny MillsAddress: 30 Leicester Square
    London, WC2H 7LA
    United Kingdom The payment must be sent to the above U.S. embassy agent address in United Kingdom because the U.S. Department of State decided this based on the diplomatic relations with your country. You must declare it a personal transfer (you will tell to the agent from Western Union that you are sending money to a relative or friend of yours), otherwise you will not be able to send the money

  8. Yeah I got the same email here, scary that they included my full name, email address, country AND home phone number! It seems like a lot of people that received this email have actually looked into the green card lottery in the past so maybe there was some data stolen from one of the genuine agencies in the past.

    The address on mine was:
    Name : Bascom Talley
    Address: 30 Leicester Square 
    London, WC2H 7LA 
    United Kingdom 

    • It’s the first time I’ve known them to add someone’s home phone number in the email. That is worrying.

      They could be using software to compare names and addresses with online phone directories to auto collect numbers. I can’t believe these scammers haven’t been caught yet.

    • I received the same email and yes its scary because these scammers were able to get the mobile phone number.

      Address of this fraud:
      Name : Edward IkedaAddress: 30 Leicester Square
      London, WC2H 7LA
      United Kingdom Email: dv@usgreencard-org.com

  14. I received identical email today. Funnily enough I was granted 10 year tourist visa few weeks ago so when I saw the email I thought it had something to do with my visa! Mine said to sent the money to Thomas Krumme, 30 Leicester Square. They also had my home phone number which I don’t give out to anyone (I put it down on application form for US visa) Is it possible that someone takes details from application forms???

    relocation process. Accompanying family members(wife/husband,
    fiancee, brothers, sisters, childrens, cousins) may be included in the
    program and their visas will be provided at the same time with yours so

    I am an american who has friends in Italy. I got a phone call from them this morning telling me that they had one the lottery to get a green card to the USA, but it had been sent in July with a deadline to send the money by Aug 4th. (he never checks his email) They thought it was real and called over another friend that had gone to school in the USA Who also thought it was the real deal. My friends fiancee just started crying because she was thinking that they had missed an opportunity to better there lives. I had them send it to me via email and at first I was like, no way, it’s hard to win this lottery, what luck he has. We hung up the phone and I looked at it better and noticed the email address was .org not .gov. Also, it says you can bring cousins, ext and I know that is not true. I had to send them a message to explain that it was a fake email, a scam. To put people through this is just deplorabe and something needs to be done about it. He got this exact email with a name of Michael Lyord to send the money too. They need to find these people and stop them. 

    • Mike, that is awful. I hope the people who send these emails read how their scams affect people’s lives, especially how it has affected your friends. Something does need to be done and hopefully it will be done soon. I wish your friends good luck in eventually winning a green card or maybe they will find another route to the US.

      Thank you for sharing, Mike.

      Did you apply for a Green Card through usagc.org? I know I did so about 2 years ago. I wanted know whether I was eligible but “sadly” (maybe “sadly”, lol) I’m not. This is the only place I can think of that had my details as the scammers have them.

      Please think back and let me know if you have ever applied for a Green Card through usagc.org.

    Well this is the 2nd time I am receiving this mail, I did receive this similar mail last year as well then I took it to the Embassy of the United States, and they confirmed it was fraudI wonder what action has been taken so far.

    • Have to wonder how much money this scam has “earned” for the scammers. Hopefully, once the scammers are caught, the State Department will do the honorable thing and either return the money to victims or use it to improve the lives of people in less well-off nations.

    hamza786love@yahoo.com

  43. I also got this e-mail just 3 days after filling my form for GC. Yes, I approached long time ago USAGLIS, but when they asked money for that, I cancelled, but it seems they hold my details and get even the details of official GC page… How is that possible, I thought it is a secret between me and the official page! The page told to check my status after the 1st of June, and this e-mail tells now that I am a winner – it is great scam! It asked me to send money by Western Union on this address in UK, although there is big embassy in my own country, so I could not believe, and they told they will send me a letter by post after receiving money only – legally it can’t be to send money without any paper and guarantee, also it has to be done in 3 days only – it is just cruel, otherwise I am not anymore eligible :) So the UK address is: Name   : Masa Layer Address:  73 Queens Avenue                London, N20 0JB                United Kingdom 
    E-mail they wrote though is: dvs@kccusafis.org.
    I will report about this scam to the needful institutions.

    Although the Diversity Visa participation was
    free, the law and regulations require to every diversity visa winner to pay a
    visa processing fee of $879. The Diversity Visa(Green Card) is guaranteed upon
    receiving the payment.

    The per person fee for each Diversity Visa is
    $879, payable in U.S. dollars or equivalent of your local currency. This $879
    fee is the only fee a winner needs to pay throughout the entire relocation process.

    Accompanying family members(wife/husband,
    fiancee, brothers, sisters, childrens, cousins) may be included in the program
    and their visas will be provided at the same time with yours so you can
    travel/move together in the same time. However the fees must be paid per person
    and each member(e.g wife, brother, parents, childrens, cousin) must pay $879.
    There is no discount for childrens.

    Please note that you are allowed to take with
    you as many family members you want. However for each person you must pay an
    additional amount of U.S $879

    For example if you decide to move in the United
    States with your wife and a kid the total fee is US$879(your fee) + US$879(your
    wife) + US$879(your kid) = US$2637.
