Fake Winner Emails
Be suspicious of emails claiming you won and asking for payment, passport scans, or bank details.
Avoid Fake DV Lottery Messages.
The DV program attracts scammers. Protect your confirmation number, personal documents, and money by using official websites only.
Paid “Guaranteed” Services
No agent can guarantee selection or visa approval. The official registration fee is $1; pay only through the authorized U.S. government flow and treat added “guarantee” fees as a warning sign.
Lookalike Websites
Use `dvprogram.state.gov` for entry and result checks. Bookmark it instead of trusting ads or forwarded links. Learn more in our safe result checking guide.
