Australia Institute of Immigration Reviews

Asking for ATM, credit, debit card numbers for visa processing

Australia Institute of Immigration just popped up when I switched on my pc yesterday, 25th May. They mentioned they're offering an opportunity for us to participate in the Australian skill migration program where we may get a permanent visa to live and work in Australia and that 133, 500 permanent visas for 600 in need occupations and multi visa options are available.

I tried to open their "registration procedure'" but did not continue because of the registration payment for processing, etc. but I was able to type my real name, address and mobile phone number. In the middle of my deep sleep last night, a representative from Australian Insttitute of Immigration rang me with an unknown number appearing on my phone. He was asking if I have a credit, debit or ATM cards. When I told him I only have an ATM card, he INSISTED I would tell him my account number so that they could verify if my account is still active. I refused to give him my account number as I sensed something and just told him I will arrange my application "later'" but he told me there's no other time for him to accommodate me and that I HAVE TO get up and read to him my account number. I refused 4-5 times but he kept asking so I cut the line. He didn't ring me back again but he sent me an email about their "program".

This is the email ad that they use : [email protected] .Their address is: 520 Oxford st. Bondi junction NSW, Sydney, NSW 2022 Australia.

To everybody, be careful! This is a big scam!..search on AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE OF IMMIGRATION SCAM and you'll read bulk of complaints about them.

SCAM

Somebody just called me 5 days ago using Unknown No. and introduce herself as representative from Australia Institute of Immigration, and ask me some personal questions and told me that all of these infos are necessary to be qualified in Australia Visa application, , , and its flattering when she told me that I am qualified as how I communicate and as a degree holder. and then she briefly discussed that their organization will issue visa after 3 months prior to my application, and once i will have my visa, they will assist me to find for a living in Australia..and so i asked, and what can I do to your organization once I will be lucky and how can I track down my application? and she told me that i need to pay them EURO 320.00 so they will be able to send me my Username and password for me to access their website. she asked if I have Credit card or debit card and I said I only have Debit Card but I prefer to pay through telex transfer so I asked for their Co. Bank Accnt No., but she refused to tell me, suddenly, she asked me to read to her the nos. in my Card, so i did tell her my scrambled Card Nos., she asked to hold on for my Accounts verification, after few minutes-- she speaks and told me that there's no enough balance in my Account to pay. She told me that she'll call back after 3 days to take my permission for the payment, so she did call me but i refuse to give any account no. as I doubt, I told her to call me back after few days so i will find somebody who lend me Credit card, and she told me that she will put my name on the VIP list but I need to pay down payment at least EUR39.00, she tried again to check the number that I gave to her previously, and! oh lalalh!/-a-t-/-no enough money in my Account! I asked her Direct Phone Number so i can call her once I have money in the bank, but she reasoned out that they don't allow applicants to spend calling them.. again she call me this morning and my colleague talked to her, he requested her to send the details via email, and this is what I got:
