Check Scams, Debt Collection scams and other financial scams.

Hi all
I never applied for a visa nor am I the agent for anyone who has. I don't even live in the US.

Yet I received this (in the weekend...) and it looks surprisingly professional, though IMHO (I'm not a native English speaker) there are a couple of glitches in the e-mail.
If it is a scam, it's well done. Or...did they send it to the wrong e-mail address! Sounds weird. I made a quick search on Google, but I found nothing.

Out of sheer curiosity, is this a scam? Thanks :)

Have you applied for a visa? Without seeing the attached email, all I can tell you is that [email protected] is a legitimate address. I would also be really cautious of attachments, as legitimate-looking emails like this are a very common way to send out viruses.

With that said, though, scammers and other criminals spoof "from" email addresses all the time, and they copy disclaimers and form letters from legitimate sites on a daily basis.

If you post more information on the attached letter here we can probably help you with a more definitive answer.

Or, if you want to verify that you are really hearing from the government and find out what is going on, forward the message to that address and ask to verify the authenticity. Do NOT use the reply button. Instead, type that address into the "To" box as it is the only way to be sure that it is going to the right place.
