US Embassy Issues Visa Fraud Alert To Nigerians

The United States Mission to Nigeria has warned Nigerians
against a fraudulent visa report being circulated on social
media.

The fraudulent visa press release had claimed that the US was
issuing a new type of work visa to Nigerians.

But the US Mission on Friday in a visa fraud alert urged
Nigerians to disregard information stating that a new work visa has
been created.

The statement read, “The U.S. Mission to Nigeria is drawing the
general public’s attention to a fake “press release” claiming to
offer a new type of work visa to Nigerians.

“Scammers and fraudsters circulate this phoney information that
the new work visa applies to Nigerian citizens aged 40-55.

The U.S. Embassy in Abuja and Consulate in Lagos is warning
Nigerians not to fall victims to the scam. It is the same old scam,
but in fresh packaging – don’t become a victim!

“If you have questions about whether visa information is
legitimate, please refer only to official sources:
travel.state.gov, ng.usembassy.gov/visas, and
www.ustraveldocs.com/ng.”
