The most common risk is paying or booking through non-official channels. The safest approach is to verify each link before sharing personal data.
Warning signs
- Messages forcing immediate payment with urgency pressure.
- Websites imitating official branding with suspicious domains.
- Advisors offering guaranteed priority appointments without proof.
Recommended security practices
- Use only official SRE and consular links.
- Do not share personal documents through unverified channels.
- Store payment receipts and appointment confirmations.
- Double-check URLs before entering any data.
Tip: If a request looks suspicious, pause and validate it on official channels before continuing.
