“New Yorkers trusted Analie Vargas to help them apply for permanent residence when in actuality she was pocketing their hard-earned money for personal expenses. Those who prey on the perceived vulnerability of new New Yorkers for personal gain will be prosecuted,” said District Attorney Bragg. “If you believe you are a victim of this type of fraud, we urge you to call our office’s Immigration Affairs Unit hotline at 212-335-3600 or via WhatsApp at 347-371-0877. Interpreters are available to assist non-native English speakers and we encourage all to reach out regardless of immigration status.”
