Ausiom.org Asking for ATM, credit, debit card numbers for visa processing

Australia Institute of Immigration just popped up when I switched on my pc yesterday, 25th May. They mentioned they're offering an opportunity for us to participate in the Australian skill migration program where we may get a permanent visa to live and work in Australia and that 133, 500 permanent visas for 600 in need occupations and multi visa options are available.

I tried to open their "registration procedure'" but did not continue because of the registration payment for processing, etc. but I was able to type my real name, address and mobile phone number. In the middle of my deep sleep last night, a representative from Australian Insttitute of Immigration rang me with an unknown number appearing on my phone. He was asking if I have a credit, debit or ATM cards. When I told him I only have an ATM card, he INSISTED I would tell him my account number so that they could verify if my account is still active. I refused to give him my account number as I sensed something and just told him I will arrange my application "later'" but he told me there's no other time for him to accommodate me and that I HAVE TO get up and read to him my account number. I refused 4-5 times but he kept asking so I cut the line. He didn't ring me back again but he sent me an email about their "program".

This is the email ad that they use : [protected]@ausiom.[censored]ms.net .Their address is: 520 Oxford st. Bondi junction NSW, Sydney, NSW 2022 Australia.

To everybody, be careful! This is a big scam!..search on AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE OF IMMIGRATION SCAM and you'll read bulk of complaints about them.

The same happened to me, I have paid 225 euros and 59 euros as well for something I won't receive, saying my case doesn't look good. For what nothing. They even want me to chose some courses at minimum 7000 euros to 35000 euros to take courses in University ( the one I was interested into). They are big conner. Please if you know other people like you and me or an association who deal with it, please advise me. Thank you...

I don't believe this comments are from disappointed costumers,
its look like competitors just try to revile the Australian Institute of immigration,
coz it is an agency that can be trusted on,
I was using their help and had no problems with them.

More then that, I think it's important to understand that when you go to an agency you need to pay them, it doesn’t make them swindlers,
it's make them a business.

I don’t understand why would you complain about a company that charge for their work, it is not charity, it's a business… and a reliable one,
I was using their help when I got my visa and they sort it all for me, I was not worried about a single thing all the way to the visa, and it worth my money.
When you decide you want to hire an agency you can't expect them to do it for free!
I get the feeling you just trying to slander this company and make a bad name to them,
when there is no reason to do it.

You are impersonator and a fraud,
I'm using the help of the Australian Institute of Immigration right from the start of the process and they been nothing but nice and helpful,
that’s right they do take money, it's their job to help you and I get a visa,
the fact that one of you might talk to an unpleasant employee doesn't say anything.

same thing happened to me..they will really insist on getting your credit card number..as if the so called "customer service lady" is giving an order the hand over the credit card nmber..and if not she will be mad at you..what kind of attitude is that? maybe they get commission that's why they force you to pay..and of course i didnt give my card number..so in return she told me that forget my application and Australian Institute of Immigration will cancel my application..

Till date i still receive emails from them..begging me to complete my appication.. haha!

Yes they are a scam. I just got a call from them and the lady got so mad when I refused to give her my credit card details, she started raising her voice and she told me that she just wasted her 1-hour talking to me. So much for customer service.

They should put their energy and effort to better use to help the world than to try to cheat innocent people's money. Karma will definitely get back to them who is willing to take advantage of people. Shame on you and your company.

Ausiom.org SCAM

Somebody just called me 5 days ago using Unknown No. and introduce herself as representative from Australia Institute of Immigration, and ask me some personal questions and told me that all of these infos are necessary to be qualified in Australia Visa application, , , and its flattering when she told me that I am qualified as how I communicate and as a degree holder. and then she briefly discussed that their organization will issue visa after 3 months prior to my application, and once i will have my visa, they will assist me to find for a living in Australia..and so i asked, and what can I do to your organization once I will be lucky and how can I track down my application? and she told me that i need to pay them EURO 320.00 so they will be able to send me my Username and password for me to access their website. she asked if I have Credit card or debit card and I said I only have Debit Card but I prefer to pay through telex transfer so I asked for their Co. Bank Accnt No., but she refused to tell me, suddenly, she asked me to read to her the nos. in my Card, so i did tell her my scrambled Card Nos., she asked to hold on for my Accounts verification, after few minutes-- she speaks and told me that there's no enough balance in my Account to pay. She told me that she'll call back after 3 days to take my permission for the payment, so she did call me but i refuse to give any account no. as I doubt, I told her to call me back after few days so i will find somebody who lend me Credit card, and she told me that she will put my name on the VIP list but I need to pay down payment at least EUR39.00, she tried again to check the number that I gave to her previously, and! oh lalalh!/-a-t-/-no enough money in my Account! I asked her Direct Phone Number so i can call her once I have money in the bank, but she reasoned out that they don't allow applicants to spend calling them.. again she call me this morning and my colleague talked to her, he requested her to send the details via email, and this is what I got:

HI,
Well they promess you good thing on the phone, that your application is fine. They charge Euros 59, then if we want to become vip in order our case looks good as they say and increase our chance Euros 225 paid. They took the money very quickly from my account. Especially for the first 59 euros. Then they just tell you your case don't look very good, but you can apply for being a student with some course from 7000 to 20 to 30.000 euros to spend... and so on. They said it is a service but i don't think so. Please help me and the hundred of other people who certainly haven't receive anything from them... So that means if you don't have the money for your studium as they present it you won't be able to go in Australia.
That's a shame, I want my money back ==> 225 + 59 euros...
Not only at one moment I had not enough money on my account, I was asking myself why, then I understood, they took the money so quickly... Big conners, I tell you

Hi All
I have been checking this bogus institute or whatever and came across this page 'dedicated' to this notorious organisation. They have used my credit card for a substantial amount. I have placed a dispute with my bank in this regard as I never contacted the fraudulent company ever. Also I never used my credit card for online transactions.

Hi,

It happened to me as well. Magically they new the first digit of my master card and that made me suspeciouse.There is no way that an immigration office will ask you to make payment via a phone call. I asked her whether they have a consulate in my country and she bearly new what a consulate ment.

These are a banch of scams who are trying to get rich through the easy way.Watch out!
Thank you.

I tried to look at this video that you put here and didn't understand anything from it where did you find it anyway?
I'm using the help of the Australian Institute of Immigration,
I got from them a lot of help with my applications,
it was my decision to use an agency although it cost money because I wanted help with the process, I don't regard it once…
it is a reliable agency and people here just tried to slander them.

I don’t understand why you try to slander this company, I was using their service and got a lot of help from them.
of course they charge for this, they are an agency, it's their job and in return you get the help and the support of professionals taking care of the migrating process for you, and its worth it.
If someone wants to it on his own - enjoy it and don't turn to an agency,
but if you hiring professional help, you hiring someone for a job.
I reckon you been hired to just talk bad about this agency from their competitor,
if you just didn’t want their help you won't be bothered with checking about it so much.
