Common Migration Scams

The most frequent fraud patterns targeting people planning to move abroad.

The most common patterns include guaranteed-visa promises, fake job offers used to collect “processing fees”, agents who disappear after an advance payment, and documents designed to imitate real employers or government formats.

A growing pattern is recruitment conducted entirely through messaging apps, where the “employer” can never be reached through any independent channel.

The common thread is payment or documents demanded before anything verifiable is provided. Slow down, verify independently, and never let urgency make the decision for you.
