⚠️Beware of Immigration Services Scam⚠️

Please be aware that noncitizens here and around the country are being targeted by scammers who are pretending to be Catholic Charities and licensed attorneys. These scammers are sophisticated, producing fake immigration documents and impersonating government officials.

These scammers use social media and phone apps to advertise and contact their victims. Catholic Charities does not advertise and will never seek clients through Facebook, WhatsApp, or other social media. We will also never ask for payment of legal fees through apps like Zelle, Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal.

If you are contacted by any attorney or organization that you did not contact first, do not respond or share your personal information. If you suspect that you have been victimized by a scam, please contact Catholic Charities of Cleveland and/or law enforcement.
