Hello, I am Miss Young. Would you like to get a green card and immigrate
to USA? Most people don't know the correct procedure to get a green
card. They are contacted by persons that claim they can assist you for
a fee. Keep away from them. They cannot help you, and they only want
your money.
I received the following email. It is an example of such fraud: |

note: All response to the following
emails:price_award@colorado.usa.com |
|
|
The email addresses are free email addresses. The US government would
never use a free email address for official business.
If you pay the requested fee via Western Union, that will be the last
you hear from them, or maybe they will request you to pay another fee.
In either case, they are only after your money.
If you send them your photo and personal information, the criminals
behind this offer migth use it for identity theft.
The Federal Trade Commision has an alert for this kind of fraud:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/lottery.htm
Here are some of their advice:
The FTC says the best way to protect against green card lottery
scams is to understand how the State Department's lottery works.
- There's no charge to enter the
green card lottery. You can enter on your own at the
State Department's Web site www.dvlottery.state.gov.
You'll need to answer a few questions and provide passport-style
digital photographs. You'll get an acknowledgment from the State
Department once you've submitted your entry.
Hiring a company or attorney to enter the lottery for you
is your decision, but the person you pay will have to follow
the same procedure. And your chance of being selected is the
same whether you submit the entry or you pay someone to do it
for you.
- Submit only one entry. If
you submit more than one, you will be disqualified.
- Selection of entries is random.
Spouses who are eligible for the DV lottery can apply separately;
the 'losing' spouse can enter the country on the Diversity Visa
of the 'winning' spouse. This is the only legitimate way to
significantly increase your chance of entering the U.S. through
the DV lottery.
- Be alert to Web sites promising
government travel or residency documents online or by mail.
Except for entering the DV lottery, most applications for visas,
passports, green cards, and other travel and residency documents
must be completed in person before an officer of the U.S. government.
- Be thoughtful about who you send
your personal documents to. Unless you have an established
relationship with a business, do not mail birth certificates,
passports, drivers' licenses, marriage certificates, Social
Security cards, or other documents with your personal identifying
information to businesses promising to complete your application
for travel or residency documents. These businesses may be engaged
in identity theft.
- Be skeptical of Web sites posing
as U.S. government sites. They may have domain names
similar to government agencies, official-looking emblems (eagles,
flags, or other American images like the Statue of Liberty or
the U.S. Capitol), the official seals or logos of - and links
to - other government sites, and list Washington, D.C., mailing
addresses. If the domain name doesn't
end in '.gov,' it's not a government site. Bogus sites
may charge for government forms. Don't pay; government forms
and instructions for completing them are available from the
issuing U.S. government agency for free
