ILRC’s Anti-Fraud Campaign

Unfortunately, immigrants often are victimized by unscrupulous notarios and others who claim immigration expertise. Here’s once campaign against these practices waged  by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center:

ILRC Announces Major Immigration Fraud Public Awareness Campaign

ILRC is currently engaged in a massive public relations campaign to warn immigrants about immigration fraud. Too often, immigrants fall prey to scam artists that promise them an easy path to legal status only to cheat them out of their hard-earned money and, often, put them at risk of deportation. To combat this problem, ILRC has produced and distributed thousands of graphic novels, or comic books, in English, Spanish and Chinese that warn immigrants about typical immigration fraud scams. If you or your agency are located in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area and are interested in ordering some of these, go to:  http://www.ilrc.org/fraud.php

ILRC has also produced tri-lingual Bus Signs that have been carried on public transit agencies throughout the San Francisco Bay Area from March 1 through April 15, 2008.  To see the bus signs and all of our other anti-immigration fraud materials, go to:  http://www.ilrc.org/fraud.php
