These fraudsters often utilize professional-looking websites that mimic government sites or employ copied logos from official entities. They frequently pressure applicants by claiming limited availability or imminent deadlines, creating a sense of urgency that can cloud judgment. Many victims have reported being asked for upfront payments in exchange for these 'guaranteed' services.
