Immigration to Australia website; Is it fraud?
A banner showed up on QL as an ad for an organization providing application services for Australia.
I clicked on the link, filled my personal data and the next step was an Assessment where a payment of about 300$ was required, I loged out. Since then they are calling again and again from a "withheld" no. to urge me to do the payment on phone or through a secured link.
Anybody experienced that?
Are they genuine?
Is it worhty?
Is it just fraud?
You DO NOT need to use immigration agent to apply for visa to migrate to Australia.
They have no influence whatsoever and does not increase the chance of you being accepted. Basically they just act as repositories for your document before before sending them to Canberra.
Go to immi.gov.au website. Collect the forms pertaining to migration, fill it all and send it yourself.
If you really need to use a migration agent, if possible use one that has a local office here. Make sure they are registered by MARA (https://www.mara.gov.au/)

looks like a scam.....beware.
MAKE NO PAYMENT.
If they are sincere ask them the name and MARA license number of their agent and cross check it in MARA website.
