Alert: Lottery Scam
Implies an Association with Allstate
Potential lottery scams have come to light implying an association with Allstate or an affiliate of Allstate. Several individuals; some of whom may be current or former Allstate customers; have received materials, including a letter and a check, indicating that they are winners of an international lottery.
The checks enclosed in these materials may bear an Allstate logo or refer to the “Flood Insurance Program.” However, the check is not legitimate, is not authorized by Allstate and will not be honored by any bank or other financial institution.
In the materials, recipients are instructed to call a telephone number before cashing the check for further instruction. It is likely, as with similar lottery communications that have been identified as scams in the past, that during this call the recipient will be told to provide payments and/or personal or banking information in order to receive lottery proceeds. Of course, with a scam, the recipient will never receive any lottery proceeds.
The documents in question may appear to come from a variety of sources: Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission, the Lottery Management Company, North American Lottery Corporation and The International Lottery Incorporated On-Claim Department.  Allstate is not associated with any of these groups and does not sponsor any lottery .
