[b] Don’t be Fooled by Telephone Scammers Posing As USCIS Employees[/b]




Recently, we were made aware of a new telephone scam where individuals pretend to be USCIS employees and aggressively try to get you to sign up for a training course led by government officials. These scammers attempt to will pressure you to pay for this course and will ask you to disclose your financial information (i.e.-money order, credit card and bank account details) over the phone.

Do not give important personal or financial information over the phone to anyone you don’t know or contacts you unexpectedly. USCIS representatives will [u]never[/u]call you and ask for money for training, products, or forms.

The official ways to communicate with USCIS are by:[list]
[*]Visiting the official USCIS website at [url="http://www.uscis.gov/"]www.USCIS.gov[/url]
[*]Scheduling an info pass appointment by visiting [url="http://www.infopass.uscis.gov/"]www.infopass.uscis.gov[/url]
[*]Calling the National Customer Service Center at (800)375-5283
[/list][i][b]Remember, official government websites end in dot-gov (.gov), not dot-com (.com).[/b][/i]

Thanks for posting this information. I have not received a call like that but it's good to be aware. I've read a lot of phone scams, too, and I think people are now at a better advantage because we are more well-informed and updated.

By the way, I have found a complaint posted at http://www.callercenter.com related to this kind of scam, along with the scammer's phone number. Can you check if you have that on your records?
