In a note, the US Embassy in Haiti invites the Haitian people to exercise caution face a fraud attempt to U.S. VISA and Scholarships, organized by a group of racketeers.

"he Embassy of the United States to Port-au-Prince invites to be careful, because a group using Sophia Martelly’s name is falsely claiming that they can provide visas and scholarships to study in the United States. It’s not true !

The group is using the fake email address ambassadeamericaine.haiti@yahoo.com / unmaria51@gmail.com with a point of contact named Samuel at +509-3990-6218 and an accountant named Evelia Jean Charles.

Remember the ONLY way to get a visa is to apply directly with the U.S. Embassy. NEVER pay an outside group who claims they can get you a visa. Using racketeers like these could get you permanently banned from entering the United States."
