A new email scam is spreading fear among immigrants in the US. You receive a message thanking you for applying to voluntarily leave the country. At first glance, it feels official and urgent, pushing you to act without thinking.
What The Email Claims
The email claims it is from Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). It asks for sensitive personal details. You are told to share your Alien Number and passport scans, which immediately puts your data and safety at risk.
Suspicious Email Domain
The message comes from the domain “CBP-home.com”. This makes it confusing and dangerous for you. Experts have flagged this as a scam because official US government emails always end with “.gov”.
Clear Red Flags Experts Spotted
Experts point out several warning signs. The email uses the word “kindly”, which is rarely used in official US federal communication. These small details clearly show that the message is not legitimate.
Former ERO Issues Strong Warning
A former Enforcement and Regulations Operations official has warned immigrants directly. You are never asked to submit personal documents through email. Legitimate self-deportation processes usually happen through the CBP One app.
What You Should Do Now
You should not reply to such emails under any circumstance. Do not share documents or personal numbers. Instead, contact CBP directly and report the message to protect yourself and others.
Why Immigrants Are Being Targeted
These scams target vulnerable immigrants planning to self deport. You may think you are following the rules, but scammers use fear to exploit you. Staying alert is now essential to avoid serious harm.
