Members have been reporting a variety of Diversity Visa scams. The State Department has a DV fraud warning on its website and has changed the way that it communicates with those selected in the upcoming DV lottery. Many of the fraudulent e-mails have elements, such as the DOS seal, that make them look legitimate, but they are not. More information may be found on the Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs website.
