*/_Email and Phone Scams Targeting International Exchange Individuals_/*

*The U.S. Department of State Exchange Visitor Program has seen an 
increasing number of phone and email scams affecting exchange visitors. 
The Department has seen an uptick in housing and rental scams where 
exchange visitors transfer money before they start their program to a 
fraudulent realtor or landlord, scamming the victims out of hundreds if 
not thousands of dollars. Other reported scams involve phone calls from 
alleged government representatives demanding personal information and 
money with threats of deportation from the U.S.*

*
*

*But here are the facts—U.S. government officials aren’t going to ask 
for payment by phone—especially payments in those ways. They will also 
not ask you to confirm basic personal information, such as passport 
number, over the phone.*

*
*

*If you get a call or email like this and are still concerned about your 
immigration or visa status, call United States Citizenship and 
Immigration Services at 800-375-5283 to verify the validity of the 
claims made.*

*
*

*If you think you may be a victim of this type of scam, please contact 
MBL Human Resources HR at mbl.edu or (508)289-7422. *

*(If you do not work at the MBL, contact your WH institution HR 
department.)*
