Officials in the United States have issued a warning about a new telephone scam that is targeting immigrants with threats of deportation.

The scammer poses as an official from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and requests personal information such as social security number or a passport number. The caller then says there are problems with the person’s immigration records and asks for a payment to correct the details.
