The US Green Card lottery does exist, but they do not randomly select winners from email addresses. The real lottery randomly picks 50,000 winners from Green Card applicants. If you haven't applied for a US Green Card through the legitimate channels then you are not going to win one. If you have applied, then it is very unlikely they will email you and if they do it will be using an official email address.

Another good post B8er that will alert and save many from being scammed.

Section 222(f) provides that the records of the Department of State and of diplomatic and consular offices of the United States pertaining to the issuance and refusal of visas or permits to enter the United States shall be considered confidential and shall be used only for the formulation, amendment, administration, or enforcement of the immigration, nationality, and other laws of the United States. Certified copies of such records may be made available to a court provided the court certifies that the information contained in such records is needed in a case pending before the court. PURPOSE: The U.S. Department of State uses the facts you provide on this form primarily to determine your assification and eligibility for a U.S. immigrant visa. Individuals who fail to submit this form or who do not provide all the requested information may be denied a U.S. immigrant visa. Although furnishing this information is voluntary, failure to provide this information may delay or prevent the processing of your case.

The information provided may also be released to federal agencies for law enforcement, counterterrorism and homeland security purposes; to Congress and courts within their sphere of jurisdiction; and to other federal agencies who may need the information to administer or enforce U.S. laws.

Unfortunately, definite scams. I didn't have to get further than the email addresses to know that (but going further, there are many other things to tell me it is a scam too.)

Both usa.com and consultant.com are free email domains. In other words, anyone can sign up and get a free email address from one of those domains, just as they could from yahoo or gmail. The US government does not use free email domains, ever.

As to how they got your real name, if you have signed up for any mailing list, forum, or even filled out a survey or bought from an online company that sells mailing lists (and there are way too many out there that default to sharing information unless you specifically change the settings), that information could have gotten to a scammer. In some cases, databases have been hacked and the information obtained that way! In the end, it's not all that hard for scammers to get names to make their emails look more authentic.

Thank you, Dotti, I got it now. It's just my real name on it that totally blowes away, and I normally do not put it in. It's bad that those emails didn't go to my spam folder on Gmail.

Anyway, those scammers deserve to be punished. Is there a chance?

no.
They tend to be anonymous and working out of a West African internet cafe. The local police are ineffective, and your police won't be interested in starting an expensive international police operation with no chance of success.

Hi.

Welcome to ScamWarners. I always recommend speaking to the authority that issued your Passport. They may want to issue you a new one with a new number. Reporting it yourself may protect you from a victim making an accusation against your IF the scammer uses the passport in a scam.

I am sorry you got scammed like this. If you have further questions please ask.

Processing fees Included
Total $879
Although the Diversity Visa participation was free, the law and regulations require to every diversity visa winner to pay a visa processing fee of $879. The Diversity Visa(Green Card) is guaranteed upon receiving the payment.
The per person fee for each Diversity Visa is $879, payable in U.S. dollars or equivalent of your local currency. This $879 fee is the only fee a winner needs to pay throughout the entire relocation process.
Accompanying family members(wife/husband, fiancee, brothers, sisters, childrens, cousins) may be included in the program and their visas will be provided at the same time with yours so you can travel/move together in the same time. However the fees must be paid per person and each member(e.g wife, brother, parents, childrens, cousin) must pay $879. There is no discount for childrens.
Please note that you are allowed to take with you as many family members you want. However for each person you must pay an additional amount of U.S $879
