May 13, Through May 19, 2015 TIP OF THE WEEK

Todays news, tomorrows scam

When the headlines change, scammers follow; Natural disasters and charity scams will follow. Medicare

season opens, and health care scams will follow. So we know from experience that, when immigration is

in the headlines, scams will follow.

Here are some things to keep in mind if youre in the immigration process, or would like to be, regardless

of whats in the news.

There are people who can help you. Look for help that is authorized by the U.S. Government.

Youll want an immigration lawyer or an accredited representative, which is someone with

experience who is authorized by the U.S. Government to help you.

There are people who will not help you. These people might use the title notario or immigration

consultant. They sometimes guarantee you legal status, or a higher place in line to get legal status,

for a fee, of course. They are after your money, so dont believe their promises. Only accredited

representatives and immigration lawyers can help you.

Before you pay for anything, stop and check it out. Never pay for immigration forms; the

government provides them at no cost. Never pay for the promise of legal status. No one can

guarantee you legal status.

The scammers who target people in the immigration process count on the headlines to get your attention,

but they also count on the confusion that changes bring. Whatever changes might come, and whatever

offers you might see, stick to these tips. And youll find more ideas here on how to avoid other tricks that

scammers use.

If you know someone whos run across a scam, tell us. You can give us as much or as little information as

you feel comfortable with. We would like the chance to stop the scammers, and your report could make

the difference.
