Well, we can't leave this subject without talking about an unfortunate incident which occurred a few years ago.
Due to a glitch by the computers at the Department of State, some entrants into the DV lottery were told that they won, when they actually had not. Some sold all their possessions and were ready for a new start in America.......when the word came down that they had not won at all, there was a glitch and while the DOS was sorry, there was nothing that could be done about it.
There was a lawsuit that was thrown out of court and these poor people had their hopes jump for nothing.
As stated, this does not fall into the "fraud" category. These individuals were not the victim of a scam or fraud, just bad luck. It is a heartbreaking story, but one in which there are no real perpetuators of a crime.
It is, as stated, another example of bad luck which affects all of our lives from time to time.
