In recent weeks, U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) 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.
If you receive a call like that, USCIS
urges you to say “No, thank you” and hang up immediately.
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 https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/,
or report it to an appropriate state authority. (Visit www.uscis.gov/avoidscams 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 http://infopass.uscis.gov/.
