Got an email from USAFIS stating I had won a green card:

Permanent Resident Card. It is also known as the Green Card Lottery. The lottery has been administered on an annual basis
by the Department of State and conducted under the terms of Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
Section 131 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-649) amended INA 203 to provide for a new class of immigrants known
as "diversity immigrants" (DV immigrants).
As part of the agreement we will issue A FREE Airline ticket from your country to the USA to claim your Green Card under
the American Green Card Lottery Program. The ticket will be sent via post mail at your address registered with us once your visa
will be remitted by the U.S department of State.
The U.S Department of State will should contact you soon with visa processing information and how to proceed further.
If you have any question regarding the visa please wait for the U.S Department of State to contact you as we do not have any competency to discuss further details with you.
What should you do now ?

So it's as fake as my grandma's theeth. Nope I didn't provide any credit card information.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

i recieved exactly the same email on 3rd february 2011 and a second email from state dept asking to send money through western union, they also stated all my details, full name, dob, place of birth etc. couldnt get your link to work? what can i do about this as i'm not sure if these emails were from usafis or if someone has stolen my identity details
I recived the same email from usafis green card lottery they r asking money, westerunion im not sure please show me the way what should i do
I recieved thesame email on the 10 feb, 2011.
i recieved an e-mail from you that i vowed America lottery and i was asked to pay $885 through western union money transfer to United kingdom.is it true that i vowed?should i paid the money?
i did received an email from state department that i won the lottery, and they ask me to pay $880 before feb 17, Is this true ?
I received the same e-mail on Feb 02 2011. I originally applied to usafis $16 but there response demanded (835.00) be sent to the U.k. via western union to process the win. Please noote that london-usembassy.gov website alerts people that this is a scam and not to send money via western union to a named individual at the u.S. Embassy in London, you are the victim of a scam. KCC does not inform winners via e-mail and if USAFIS acts as a middle person they have blocked out your address from the original application and are holding on to any original correspondence from the state department.
GO ON THE U.S. EMBASSY WEB SITE UNDER FRAUD WARNING: london-embassy .gov/fraud confirms the e-mail are a fraud.
on 13 Feb 2011 I got an e.mail from uasfis.org said that i was won the lotter for the American green card and ask me to send them the money 880$ by western union to the US embassy in the UK to prosess my visa ralated documents and verify any identity. So is ti true? Should i send them the money?
If anyone applied to usafis legal website for a usa green card lottery they should contact the same organization to find out if they actually were chosen. I applied to them originally and they didn't take the time to contact me with the legal e=mail address to inform me of the outcome instead I was contacted by an illegal outfit that takes advantage of the lack of information and correspondence that follows one's original application. The fraudulent web site just happens to have all the private information that one supplied to usafis.org. alond with one's computer I P address and identity information including city of birth. In place of one's address it has a number in my case 36. At the end of the page it has the IP # and it asks you if you need to unsubscribe and all the elements of the legal site. It's clearly a security breach and identiy theft. To make matters worse the fraud site pobably has the visa number supplied to the legal site. In my opinion it was usfis.org to investigate these matters and bring them to the attention of the proper authorities. In my opinion this scam may or may not be an inside job but could have been prevented if they would only inform and follow up on their client list. They are quiet happy getting your initial application fees etc and then leaving one wondering till one gets feedback from a fraudulent site. In my opinion both legal and non legal sites are to blame for the applicants uncertainty...
IF YOU ARE CONTACTED TO SEND ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY DON'T SEND IT.
IT WOULD HELP IF USAFIS.ORG WOULD RESPOND TO THE PEOPLE AND COMPLAINTS ABOVE..
