Questions about this policy?

Our team is happy to explain anything on this page before you make a decision.

Visa and job scams are common, and people pretending to be consultants or employers target applicants every day. This page explains how we work, so you can recognise genuine contact from AZ Sterling International and protect yourself.

1. How we work

We contact clients only through the phone numbers, WhatsApp number and email address shown on our Contact page.
We give every client a written service agreement or quote before any payment.
We accept payments only into our official business bank account or at our office, and we always issue an official receipt.
We never ask you to pay into a personal bank account, a mobile wallet in an individual’s name, or by gift cards or cryptocurrency.
We never promise guaranteed visas, guaranteed jobs or “inside contacts” at an embassy.

2. Common warning signs of a scam

A “guaranteed visa”, “100% approval” or “visa without documents” offer.
Pressure to pay immediately to “hold a seat”, “reserve a job” or avoid a deadline.
Requests to pay into a personal account or through informal channels.
Job offers abroad without any interview, contract or verifiable employer.
Messages from unofficial email addresses (for example free email accounts) using our name or logo.
Requests to submit fake bank statements, fake employment letters or false information.
Offers to buy a visa sticker, invitation, appointment slot or job offer.

3. If someone uses our name

Fraudsters sometimes copy the names and logos of real companies. If you receive a call, message, social media contact, job offer or payment request that claims to come from AZ Sterling International and you are not sure it is genuine, do not pay or share documents. Contact our office directly using the details on this website to check.

4. False documents

Submitting false or forged documents can lead to a refusal, a multi-year ban from the destination country and criminal action. We do not prepare, arrange or knowingly submit false documents, and we will end our services if any are found in a file.

5. Protect yourself

Check fees and requirements on the official government website of the destination country.
Never hand over your original passport to anyone without a written receipt.
Keep copies of all agreements, receipts and messages.
Read every form before it is submitted in your name, and make sure the information is true.
Pay government fees only through official channels, and ask for the receipt.

6. Report a suspected scam

If you believe someone is misusing our name, please tell us at [EMAIL] or [PHONE] with any screenshots, phone numbers or account details involved. You should also report fraud to the police or the cybercrime authority in your country, and to the embassy concerned if it involves a visa.
