Fake lotteries

Also, fake lotteries, which are organized by fraudsters under the guise of a well-known organization or company, have not disappeared. For example, a person is told that they are a winner and must first verify their identity by making a token payment in order to receive a prize.

If you have received such a request, in any case, it is necessary to make sure whether the permit number of a specific lottery is indicated, whether it is registered in Lithuania; in case of doubt, it is worth contacting the Gambling Supervision Service at the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania, more information here. Be especially wary of asking for a payment to verify your identity, emphasizing that this is required by the company's rules - this is likely to be a scam.

Separately, we can also mention the operators of illegal gambling activities, whose activities can also be associated with separate cases of fraud. Using the services of illegal gambling organizers also risks falling into the traps of fraudsters. You can find more information about illegal gambling operators here.
