TRICARE Lottery Scam
TRICARE Program Integrity has become aware of a Lottery Sweepstakes Scam in which fraudulent checks
bearing the TRICARE name are being utilized. Individuals are contacted via mail with a letter informing them
that they are “winners” of a USA Lottery Sweepstakes for $250,000. Accompanying the letter is a fraudulent
check bearing the TRICARE name. The instructions on the letter inform the “winner” that the attached check is
a portion of the winnings provided to help pay taxes, insurance, handling, and shipping fees. The “winner” is
also instructed to return a portion of the funds from the cashed check.
Individuals receiving this letter and check should be aware that individuals may be trying to gain access to
their bank accounts, or other personal information. Individuals who cash the check may be putting themselves
at financial risk. Once the bank determines the check is fraudulent, the individual who cashed the check could
be held responsible for returning funds back to the bank.
TRICARE beneficiaries who receive this Lottery Sweepstakes Scam letter and check are encouraged to report
it to their Managed Care Support Contractor Program Integrity Office (i.e. Health Net, Humana Military,
TriWest, Express Scripts, or WPS). Reports can also be made to TRICARE Program Integrity by emailing the
TRICARE FRAUDLINE at FRAUDLINE@tma.osd.mil or by fax (303) 676-3981. - 12 June 2012 -
