🚨 Visa Scam Alert for International Students in Australia 🇦🇺
Planning to apply for an Australian visa? Be alert—scammers may promise guaranteed visas, faster approvals, fake documents or jobs in exchange for money.
⚠️ Major red flags include:
• “Your visa is guaranteed” promises
• Requests to submit false information or fake documents
• Large payments without a clear explanation
• Refusing to give you access to your application
• Offers to arrange illegal work
• Threats such as “Pay us or we’ll cancel your visa”
Remember: No one can guarantee an Australian visa outcome. If you use paid immigration assistance, check that the person is authorised and registered with OMARA where required.
📌 Keep control of your application through ImmiAccount, verify information through official Australian Government sources, and never allow anyone to pressure you into making a rushed decision.
If you suspect a visa scam, report it to Border Watch. Reports can be made anonymously.
🔐 Protect your money, personal information and future in Australia.
