Scam & Fraud (S&F)

In the immigration landscape, there are individuals and organizations that prey on vulnerable communities with deceptive practices that can lead to financial loss or legal troubles. These can hinder or ruin legal processes for immigrants, jeopardizing their stay and well-being. Knowing how to identify these scams and report them can help protect you and others from exploitation

Notario Fraud

Notario fraud occurs when an individual who is not a licensed attorney falsely claims to offer legal services. They often take advantage of people seeking help with visas, green cards, or any other immigration processes. Victims may be charged for services that are either inadequate or fraudulent, leading to costly mistakes or delays. The resources under this category help you avoid making these mistakes and properly equipping yourself with the knowledge to protect yourself.

UPL Complaint

UPL (Unauthorized Practice of Law) complaints are filed when an individual or entity provides legal advice or services without the proper credentials. If you suspect someone is engaging in UPL, such as a notario, you should report them to the appropriate state bar or licensing authority. Taking action can help prevent others from falling victim to these services. Learn more about how to submit a complaint using resources under this category.
