Y-Axis, a leading immigration and visa consultancy, has issued a strong advisory warning the public about the surge in online immigration scams targeting individuals seeking opportunities abroad. These fraudulent schemes often lure victims through fake websites, phishing emails, and bogus social media accounts that promise guaranteed visas, jobs, or fast-tracked approvals.
The advisory comes as cybercriminals increasingly exploit the desperation and dreams of hopeful migrants by mimicking genuine consultancy services. Victims are often tricked into paying hefty fees, sharing personal information, or submitting forged documents—only to realize later that they’ve been conned.
Y-Axis emphasizes the importance of verifying credentials, checking for proper licenses, and being wary of too-good-to-be-true guarantees, especially from unsolicited offers. They advise potential migrants to deal only with registered immigration consultants and avoid sharing sensitive data without verifying the source’s authenticity.
As digital threats evolve, awareness is the first line of defense, according to Y-Axis. The consultancy urges the public to report suspicious activities promptly and to prioritize cyber hygiene when navigating immigration processes online.
