The Romanian National Gambling Office (DNCSP) has issued a warning concerning a rise in online fraud attempts that exploit the name of the Romanian Lottery to deceive users. Criminal groups are reportedly sending messages, calls, or directing people to counterfeit websites claiming they have won lottery prizes. These scams encourage victims to submit personal and financial details, which can lead to unauthorized withdrawals or identity theft. Authorities emphasize that the Romanian Lottery does not request personal data or payments through unofficial channels. The DNCSP recommends that users verify information only via official websites or communication platforms and avoid responding to suspicious contacts to protect themselves against such fraud. This warning aims to raise awareness about ongoing threats in the Romanian gambling sector and to safeguard consumers from financial losses associated with impersonation scams.
