Green Card Lottery Scam Letter

Marykate Purchia, lottery co-ordinator

Kevin Powell, President

You have been selected as one of the lucky winners on our internet screening machine ...(see below)

WARNING! THIS IS A FORM LETTER BEING SENT FROM ALL SCAM CENTERS: India, Romania, Russia, London, Amsterdam, Lagos - see Brown_Powell

Some things in this letter are true: the US Government Diversity Lottery web site and the U.S. addresses in Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, PA.  All the rest is a lie.  Please note that the addresses used by the scammers are "@rediff.com," a service provider located in India and one for Yahoo.  All United States Government agency addresses end in .gov:  "usagency@(name of agency).gov

The "onair.com" web sites do not exist.  Onair.com is a web host, not a US Government agency.  The phony web sites names were created only to be used in the scam as an email. 

There is no such thing as pennsylvania.usa.com.  All US State email addresses end in the abbreviation for the state.  Example -  the Delaware Attorney General's Office email looks like this:  where "DE" stands for Delaware.  The domain ".com" stands for "commercial" and is meant for businesses.

A person can only win if he or she enters the DV Lottery - to ENTER the lottery, you must provide photos and address, NOT AFTER.

The DV Lottery is FREE.  There are no charges for any services, not before OR after.
