Urgent Message Regarding Fictitious Sweepstakes

Urgent Message Regarding Fictitious Sweepstakes

Firm News

WilmerHale has become aware that letters are being mailed to unsuspecting people in the US, and possibly abroad, informing them they have won a fictitious sweepstakes or lottery entitled "Wilmer Picking Sweepstakes Commission," "Wilmer Network Sweepstakes Commission," "Lotto North American and European Sweepstakes Lottery," "Consumer Research Program" or some variation thereof. These letters and the checks included with them do not originate from WilmerHale. We do not operate a sweepstakes or lottery, nor are we acting in cooperation with these organizations. These letters are fraudulent and should be disregarded. No money or credit information should be provided to the source. We are working with law enforcement officials to trace the origin of the letters and stop them if possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions or concerns, please email [email protected].
