Visa Scams

U.S. Consulate General Cautions against Visa Scams

The U.S. Consulate General in Chennai reminds Indian citizens and residents to use caution when working with private entities to apply for visas to the United States,

as reports of fraudulent e-mails, websites, and print advertisements offering visa services are on the rise.

In particular, one widespread Visa scam e-mail instructs recipients to send money via Western Union to a fictitious person at the U.S. Embassy. If you have received this e-mail, you have been targeted by con artists.
