Be Safe, Protect Yourself From Scam Calls
Immigration Scam has reached a new level. In recent weeks a new telephone scam is targeting Immigration applicants and petitioners. Scammers are using a technique called “Caller ID spoofing” to display a misleading or inaccurate phone number in a recipient’s Caller ID. The scammer poses as an Immigration official and requests personal information such as Social Security number, passport number etc., identifies supposed issues in the recipient’s immigration records, and asks for PAYMENT to correct these records. If you receive a call like that, United States Citizenship and Immigration Service urges you to hang up immediately. A victim of this telephone scam may report it to the Federal Trade Commission.
