Liberty Mutual has been made aware of a number of letters and emails claiming to be from our insurance subsidiary Liberty Seguros in Madrid, SPAIN and which claim that the recipient has won a lottery.
Please take notice that these letters and emails are fraudulent and are not in any way associated with Liberty Mutual or our foreign insurance company Liberty Seguros which does business in Spain and Portugal.
These unsolicited letters and emails often require the recipient to call an international phone number and submit personal and banking information on a “Payment Processing Form” and fax the form back to Spain. These form uses our legitimate Liberty Mutual or Liberty Seguros logos and trademarks in an attempt to make the letters and emails look official.
Please do not be fooled by these fake letters and emails! They are not from either Liberty Mutual or Liberty Seguros and are part of a known scam. Neither Liberty Mutual nor Liberty Seguros sponsor, promote or engaged in lotteries. Our business is insurance, not lotteries.
If you receive one of these letters or emails which contain our names or logos, we would strongly suggest you ignore the letter or email.
You may also contact Liberty Mutual at abuse@LibertyMutual.com to report these fraudulent lottery letters and emails.
