Unfortunately, there are dishonest individuals and groups who make their living by operating scams designed to trick people into thinking they’ve won a lottery prize. Their goal is to convince victims to provide personal information or pay fake “processing fees” and “taxes” through a wire transfer or money order.
Unless you specifically entered a Grand Dragon Lottery promotion, you will never be contacted by us. If you did not purchase a Lottery ticket, you cannot win a prize.
Listed below are some general guide lines to help you avoid becoming a victim of fraud.
- Never respond to any emails stating you have won a lottery that you haven’t entered.
- Lotteries do not ask for fees to collect winnings. Any request for a fee payment is a good indication that someone is trying to defraud you.
- Never, ever disclose your bank details or pay fees in advance or wire money overseas for a lottery.
- Never respond to an email address that is not from the official Grand Dragon Lottery website (www.gdloto.com) and be very suspicious of addresses such as @gmail.com, @hotmail.com or @yahoo.com accounts.
- If they ask you to keep your win a secret it’s likely to be a fraud.
- Many fraudulent lotteries have bad spelling and grammar.
- If a large check appears from an unknown person, do not cash it. Obtain advice from your financial institution.
