VFS Global warns visa applicants of fraudsters asking for payments to book visa appointments.
VFS Global, a visa application service provider, has warned visa applicants to be wary of fraudsters who are asking for payments to book visa appointments. The company said that it does not charge any fees to book visa appointments, and that any requests for payment should be considered fraudulent.
VFS Global said that the fraudsters often pose as representatives of the company and contact visa applicants by email or phone. They may ask for personal information, such as passport numbers and credit card details, or they may ask for payment to book a visa appointment.
The company said that visa applicants should never give out personal information or make payments to anyone who claims to be from VFS Global. They should only book visa appointments through the company’s official website or call center.
VFS Global said that it is working with law enforcement to track down the fraudsters and bring them to justice. The company also urged visa applicants to report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
