OFFICIAL SECURITY ALERT: The Burkinabè National Lottery (LONAB) has issued an urgent warning about sophisticated fraudulent campaigns targeting its customers through social media platforms. Scammers are creating deceptive advertisements for a non-existent “Casino LONAB” product, deliberately misusing the organization’s established reputation to lend credibility to their schemes.
Understanding the Scam Tactics: These fraudulent operations typically employ several recognizable techniques:
- Creating fake social media profiles that mimic LONAB’s official branding
- Using manipulated images and logos to appear legitimate
- Promising unrealistic bonuses, guaranteed winnings, or exclusive casino games
- Directing users to unverified websites that may steal personal and financial information
LONAB’s Official Digital Products: To help customers distinguish legitimate platforms from fraudulent ones, LONAB confirms that it currently operates only two authorized online services:
1. Lonabet Sports Betting – Accessible exclusively at: www.lonabet.bf
2. Faso Loto 5/90 – Accessible exclusively at: www.fasoloto.bf
Protective Measures for Consumers: LONAB recommends the following security practices:
- Always verify website URLs before entering any personal information
- Be skeptical of unsolicited social media advertisements, especially those promising extraordinary returns
- Look for official verification badges on social media profiles
- Never share login credentials, banking information, or identification documents through unverified channels
- When in doubt, contact LONAB directly through official communication channels
The organization has emphasized that it is working closely with national cybersecurity authorities and social media platforms to identify and dismantle these fraudulent operations. Legal actions are being pursued against the perpetrators, who face significant penalties under Burkina Faso’s cybercrime legislation.
LONAB expresses gratitude to its loyal customers for their continued trust and reassures them that protecting player security and maintaining operational integrity remain the organization’s highest priorities. The public is encouraged to report any suspicious activity claiming association with LONAB through official reporting channels.
