Scam and Fraud in Offers(Jobs, Visas, Bills, home, car, etc.)

[Plus_Energy]

Dear friends
Scam is a form of fraud and is one of the most common types of confidence tricks. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster claims will be used to obtain the large sum.^[1][2] If a victim makes the
payment, the fraudster either invents a series of further fees for the victim to pay or simply disappears"

راه خاصی وجود نداره، راه عمومیش اینه که یا باید هوش داشته باشی و با چاشنی وقت و حوصله به جمع آوری اطلاعات از منابع معتبر در هر زمینه بپردازی، یا برای امور مرتبط با قانون، مخصوصا قوانین کشورهای خارجی، از وکلای معتبر استفاده کنی، راه تشخیص وکلا و موسسات معتبر رو هم باید احتمالا از سایت وزارت خارجه کشور مربوطه پیدا کنی.
یا مثلا این مورد برنده شدن مبلغ زیادی پول در ازای پرداخت یه مبلغ جزیی که مثال زده شده، فقط به کمی هوش نیاز داره نه چیز دیگه.

با سلام. به نقل از دوستمون "MAHAN7":
https://shorturl.at/wzTX9

"دوستان این وکلای wegreen & Chen و همچنین وکیل Payam Tarifard طبق گفته ی یک تعدادی از دوستان کلاهبردار هستن.
شرکت چن طبق کیس های اخیر ظاهرا تحت بازرسی قرار داره.
در مورد Tarifard هم بهم گفتن کلاهبرداری میکنه و مبالغ سنگینی هم (در حد ۱۰ هزارتا) دوستان از دست دادن بدون گرین کارت.

امیدوارم این اطلاعات براتون مفید باشه. گفتم اینجا مطرح کنم. ظاهرا قبلا (سالیان پیش) یکسری ایرانیها از طریق این دو وکیل/دفتر تونستن گرین کارت بگیرن (بخصوص چن) ولی اخیرا چند کیس علیه شون مطرح شده و تحت بازرسی هستن.
شرکت چن بالای ۹۰ درصد کیسهاشون هندی و چینی های بیکیفیت هستن که ظاهرا chen گرین کارت میگیره براشون."
