USAFIS Make you believe they do act on behalf of US Government as ask you money for Green card. New York Internet

Some year ago, I had entered for the US Green Cart lottery program.

Today, after several years, I've been contacted by a very kind person asking me if I was still interested in the program.

To make a long story short, the person asked for some personal information and then informed me that she needed my Credit Card information to bill me $968 (€864) to partecipate the program.

Believing that USAFIS.ORG was part of the USA Government, I gave my information and was billed as told.

Minutes later, I was called by my bank warning me of the mistake I made trusting these people. 

I immediately wrote them asking to be contacted again, and the kind girl called me immediately. But as soon as I told her that I was mislead in believing that USAFIS was related to US Government and that I did not want to partecipate in their program, she quitted being so helping and told me that she was not authorized to refund.. and that I would have to wait.

I wrote them several times, but only automatic replies so far and I have not seen my money back.

I feel stupid for being scammed this way, but at least I hope to warn others. USAFIS is a PRIVATE firm offering SERVICES, and pricey ones I must say to fill a free form. Don't let them make you believe they are your only chance to get a Green Card: it is not true.
