If you got a call saying you won a Dream Lottery prize, you didn't. OPP are warning the latest telephone scam out there involves telling callers they won a prize from a Dream Lottery and need to give over their credit card information to claim it. According to Dream Lottery, they haven't even started drawing winners yet. Dream Lottery wants to warn the public about this incident and offers the following information: 1) Lotteries in Canada do not require the payment of additional fees in order to claim a prize (once a ticket has been purchased). 2) Scams rely on the unauthorized use of logos and information from official websites to try and fool people however; callers typically don't have information that can help identify them as fraudulent. For instance, if asked, they very likely will not be able to recite the number that appears on your ticket. 3) If you didn't buy a ticket, you cannot win. Some scams will use a known lottery identity and will claim to have drawn your phone number, home address or e-mail address in order to award your prize. These calls are also likely not legitimate and an attempt to commit fraud. 4) Contacts from outside of Ontario, Canada claiming to represent Dream Lottery are not legitimate. Dream Lottery is administered in Ontario and regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). Tickets are not sold or mailed outside Ontario. 5) If you are ever in doubt that a call is legitimate, visit the lottery's official website and call the official contact numbers. The website address and phone numbers are usually listed on lottery tickets. Dream Lottery does list this information on tickets.
