fraud alert

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has warned the public about scam calls from people pretending to be the agency, a problem that can affect immigrant families and community organizations handling paperwork or case questions.

The alert is important because these calls can sound urgent and may pressure people to share sensitive information or send money. For readers who help relatives, neighbors, or association members with immigration-related matters, that creates a real risk of confusion and fraud.

Community groups that support Turkish-speaking families in the United States may want to remind members to verify all requests through official USCIS channels before responding. A quick check can prevent unnecessary stress and protect personal information.

As always, official government notices should be the first stop when something claims to come from USCIS.
