This is bull people playing with people's lives like that

You are correct, it IS playing with people’s lives especially people who are in vulnerable situations. My dad back home regularly  gets phone calls asking him to spend money on some elaborate share scheme. I get phone calls all the time from the IRS telling me I’m going to jail if I don’t pay such and such of a fine. Funny how when they call I’m talking to an IRS officer with an Indian accent (I lived in Mumbai for 3 years and the call center behind our apartment was raided by the police as it also facilitated scam calls) to Europe and to the US). 
 

good that you came on here to ask before parting with any monies,, good luck on your journey 

Lover and hubby to 1, Daddy to 2. I do enjoy growing older but not growing up.

It's true that it's playing with people's emotions and lives. However, Whatsapp is a free messaging app that anybody can download and the app does not request you to submit professional and identity verification of any kind. So anybody can download it, enter whatever phone number they want to send a message and then say whatever they want in that message. Whatsapp performs zero oversight on this...so with that, it is on the users to be mindful, cautious and skeptical.

Exactly. Also, I get spam messages on Whatsapp from random numbers promising me that they can get me $10,000+ USD in my bank account...I just gotta send them some Bitcoin or crypto LOL!!! It's an automatic delete and block.

Jan 14, 2017 — No, never. That's not like them. USCIS never communicates via "Whats-up" and other similar apps. 

 

Block this site or better yet delete your whatsapp ID and if u need whatsapp ,  create a new one 

as they have u on their list now "as easy" and will keep buggy u with different scams 

 

u have all the help here on VJ (or USCIS) to guide u thru this process
