I received a heads up from my law partner today about a strange, apparently new, Immigration scam.
A person who is here in the U.S. on a visa is called by a "representative" of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service ("USCIS") who tells them their visa status is out of date and that this needs to be remedied IMMEDIATELY or the person faces deportation.
The person is then told that they need to send money, usually in the form of money orders or traveler's checks to an address to prevent the deportation.
This is a scam, pure and simple. We will spend some time analyzing this over the next few days.
