Security Guide
Recognising fake visa service websites
Not every visa website is what it appears to be. Some are built specifically to collect your personal data or charge you for services that are either free or never delivered. Here's how to tell a legitimate platform from a fraudulent one.
Domain & Registry Checks
Check the domain carefully
Fake sites often use domains designed to look like the real thing at a glance — extra words, hyphens, or slightly different spellings. Before submitting anything, double-check the full URL. Look for HTTPS and a padlock icon.
Issa Compass is only accessible at issacompass.com.
Look for verifiable business information
Legitimate platforms will have a registered business identity, a physical address, and clear support channels. Be sceptical of sites with no About page, unnamed teams, or generic contact forms.

Third-Party Reviews
Payments & Trust Metrics
Watch for upfront payment with no clear terms
Fraudulent services often request payment before explaining what you're actually buying. They may charge “processing fees” or “government fees” in advance with no refund policy. Issa Compass publishes its full pricing and includes a money-back guarantee.
Check review platforms independently
Don't rely on testimonials on the site itself. Search the business name on Google, Trustpilot, or Reddit to see what others have experienced. Look out for clusters of generic 5-star reviews posted in a short window.
Official Channels
When in doubt, use official sources
