Got this through one of my list servs. Good for everyone to know. Not sure how best to propagate this, so I should this general forum:

"There have been reports of a new scam that is targeting and potentially victimizing foreign nationals in the U.S. According to one report, an individual will receive a phone call from a person claiming to be a USCIS officer. The caller will have certain correct information on the individual, such as name and address. The caller will state that there is some discrepancy in USCIS records, and ask for confirmation of data such as an I-94 number, an “A” number, or a visa control number. The caller will then tell the individual that there is a penalty for not clearing up the discrepancy, and that the individual is to send a sum of money via Western Union, to an address the caller provides."
