Reporting Fraud & Scam

Ask for the official UNHCR ID cards from anyone who offers to help you with UNHCR-related services. Make sure that all your documents are genuine when presenting them to UNHCR or inform us otherwise. If you are approached by anyone seeking money in exchange for UNHCR services, or you have paid for UNHCR services, you should report the incident immediately through the formal channels.
