One way to avoid being scammed is to seek visa advice from an Australian registered migration agent (who may also operate in your country), or an Australian legal practitioner. Visit: immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/v… [3/3]

🚩Their email address comes from a free email account like Gmail or Hotmail. 🚩They want you to pay them cash or via a personal bank account. [2/3]

Not sure if an agent is real or fake? Watch out for these red flags: 🚩Their website asks you to enter your passport number. 🚩Links on their website don’t work. 🚩The only contact on the website is a WhatsApp number. [1/3]
