Protect Yourself from Migration Fraud




People may give you false or misleading information in order to take advantage of your desire to visit or migrate to Australia. Becoming a victim of fraudulent activity could mean you lose your life savings or your identity or have your visa cancelled.




Warning signs to look out for:




you are asked to pay upfront in cash only, and no receipt is provided
the fee seems extremely high – a list of fees charged by most of registered migration agents is available on the Office of the MARA website.


See: What does it cost to use an Agent
the 'agent' does not give you a contract or statement of services and fees
no office address is given and you are asked to meet at a café, pub or other public area
only a post office box or mobile phone number is provided
no Migration Agents Registration Number (MARN) is advertised – check if an agent is registered.


See: The Register of Migration Agents – Search
A printable version of this information is available.
See: Protect Yourself from Migration Fraud ( 78KB PDF file)




Read the stories of people who became victims of fraud so the same thing does not happen to you.


See: Victim Stories




Anyone can become the victim of fraud—watch the department's video 'Don't Get Caught Out' to see how easily it can happen. Remember, if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
