Lilly Issues Alert for Illegal Scams Involving Fraudulent Checks and Online Job Requests

Eli Lilly and Company has issued an alert about two illegal scams, purportedly using the name of the company and/or its subsidiary Elanco Animal Health, that are actively targeting the public through postal mail solicitations and job-seekers through online dialogue. Lilly and Elanco have no connection to any foreign lottery organizations and do not conduct the type of online recruiting described by the job-seeking victims of the scam. The activities described in these scams are completely fraudulent and are in no way affiliated with, or sponsored by, Eli Lilly and Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries....

In the first scam, victims have reported receiving a letter from a foreign lottery sweepstakes organization indicating that the victims have won a large cash award.

In the second scam, victims have reported being contacted through email or other online methods regarding potential employment opportunities with Lilly and at some point in the dialogue, the victims are told to expect a check to be delivered to them which they are to deposit into their bank account and then use the funds to purchase "working materials" from an online vendor.

Lilly has notified law enforcement agencies of these scams and the fraudulent use of the company's identity.
