[b] Scam Alert – Caller ID Spoofing[/b]



[color=#333333][font=Arial, Arial, Arial, Arial][size=3]In recent weeks, we learned of a new telephone scam targeting USCIS 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 a USCIS official and requests personal information (such as Social Security number, passport number, or A-number), identifies supposed issues in the recipient’s immigration records, and asks for payment to correct these records.

[b]If you receive a call like that, USCIS urges you to hang up immediately. [/b]

USCIS never asks for any form of payment or personal information over the phone. Do not give payment or personal information over the phone to anyone who claims to be a USCIS official. In general, we encourage you to protect your personal information and not to provide details about your immigration application in any public area.

If you have been a victim of this telephone scam, please report it to the Federal Trade Commission at [url="https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/"]https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/[/url], or report it to an appropriate state authority. (Visit [url="http://www.uscis.gov/avoidscams"]www.uscis.gov/avoidscams[/url] for information on where to report scams in your state.)

If you have a question about your immigration record, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283, or make an InfoPass appointment by visiting our website at [url="http://infopass.uscis.gov/"]http://infopass.uscis.gov/[/url]. [/size][/font][/color]
