Valdenegro Law’s official channels.If it didn’t come from here, it didn’t come from us.
People pretend to be immigration lawyers on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram and ask for thousands of dollars for cases they never file. This page lists our only channels.
Did someone message you on WhatsApp saying they’re us?
Try a number that messaged you. If it isn’t ours, we’ll tell you what to do and where to report it.
This check happens only on your phone or computer. We don’t save or send what you type.
How did they ask you to pay?
What did they offer you?
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) warned about these scams on February 11, 2026.
