A recently reported scam is targeting sponsors who are trying to help Ukrainians come to the United States, according to US immigration officials.
US Citizenship and Immigration Services says the agency recently received reports of an email phishing scam targeting would-be participants in Uniting for Ukraine, the Biden administration program that gives people in the United States the opportunity to sponsor Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion.
The reports described "a basic email phishing scam that requested payment from prospective Uniting for Ukraine supporters before USCIS would review an application," the agency said.
