In this video, Valentina and Luke from Jumpstart Refugee Talent share crucial information about identifying and avoiding scams targeting refugee applicants. Scammers are becoming more sophisticated, using fake websites, emails, and even social media accounts to impersonate trusted organizations like Talent Beyond Boundaries and Jumpstart Refugee Talent.
Key Takeaways:
- Always verify the source of information. Cross-check with official government websites or contact organizations directly.
- Legitimate organizations will never guarantee visas, promise faster immigration processing, or ask for untraceable payments like gift cards or Western Union.
- Double-check email addresses for small inconsistencies that might indicate fraud.
- Report suspicious activity to local authorities immediately—your report could protect others from becoming victims.
