Immigration Scams Alert for New Arrivals

New York State is sounding the alarm for immigrants warning them about dangerous scams exploiting the complex immigration system—fraudsters are stealing money and personal info, especially targeting newcomers. Beware of fake officials impersonating ICE, CBP, or USCIS; bogus law firms and nonprofits on social media; and virtual meetings that aren’t official. Immigration court hearings are never scheduled via apps—only through official mail or verified online portals. Only licensed attorneys can give legal advice. And never pay for a “visa lottery”—the Diversity Visa is free and only applied for on the U.S. State Department’s official site. Stay vigilant.
