Fraud warning: Fake Google Profile of the Embassy of Poland
09.10.2024
The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Islamabad cautions about the operations of fraudsters posing as embassy employees and using a fake Google profile.
Please be informed that the only official website for the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Islamabad is https://www.gov.pl/web/pakistan-en, and the embassy's only location is Street 24, G-5/4, Diplomatic Enclave II, Islamabad. Any additional websites or profiles attempting to show connections to the Polish Embassy in Islamabad and so mislead are the product of fraudulent activity.
The embassy particularly highlights the fake embassy profile that shows in Google search results (see photo below). The profile was most likely set up to scam money from Pakistani citizens by pretending to help with visa procedures, such as scheduling appointments at the Consular Section of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland. Kindly note that the Consular Section of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Islamabad does not charge any fees for appointments. All fees must be paid in cash on the spot during the document submission. A table of current consular fees can be found at https://www.gov.pl/web/pakistan-en/consular-fees.
At the same time, we'd like to remind you that the embassy does not communicate over mobile networks. The phone number listed in the fake Google profile is not the embassy's contact information. The single mobile phone number +92 301 855 10 95 is an emergency number intended only for Polish citizens in Pakistan who require immediate consular assistance.
The case was reported to the relevant local authorities.
