Protect Yourself from EDV Online Scam

Scammers see the DV Lottery and such opportunities as easy targets for scamming money out of innocent Nepalese. We have seen this multiple times, including with UK Seasonal Visas, Online Job Opportunities, and Foreign Work.

It is important to know that US government does not personally send you an Email with a winning notification and ask for processing fees, if you see any mail that ask you for money is probably a scam.

1. Fake Notification of Winning: Scammers might send emails claiming that you won the DV Lottery and ask for personal information and payment to claim the prize.
2. False Processing Fees: Scammers may request payment for processing fees necessary to complete the DV Lottery application process.
3. Offering Guaranteed Selection: The DV Lottery is a random selection process; no one can guarantee a win.
4. Phishing Scams: Scammers might create fake websites or emails that mimic the official DV Lottery site.
5. False Assistance: Scammers might offer to assist with the DV Lottery application process for a fee but provide incorrect or incomplete information, ultimately leading to application rejection or disqualification.
6. Threatening Tactics: Scammers might threaten individuals into paying money, falsely claiming that failure to comply will result in rejection or legal consequences.
7. Impersonating Government Officials: Scammers may pose as government officials to gain trust and extract personal information or money.

To avoid falling victim to DV Lottery scams, applicants should:

1. Do not believe any random emails, letters, or phone calls claiming to be from the EDB 2025 Lottery program.
2. You can verify information by contacting the official U.S. Department of State’s Diversity Visa Program website or the local U.S. embassy in Nepal.
3. Never provide personal information or payment to unknown or unverified sources.
4. Report any suspicious activity or potential scams to the appropriate authorities.
