I sent a mail as regarding Australia immigration. I got a call and then after asking my name and country then proceeded to mention a credit verification and I should provide the first 6 numbers of my bank card. They asked how much in specific I had for financial eligibility in my bank account. I told the caller, please send an email and I will forward all necessary details via email. He said he prefers over the phone and would all me the following week lol. Why would any organisation be asking for my bank card details for any reason?

Please stay away from this dangerous company! It was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. They have nothing to do with the Australian government and we have lost the 999 USD. Only use this official website:
homeaffairs.gov.au
And you will get your visa safe and fast.

IC Australia is fake.

IC Australia seems like a legit company, with a trademark, a good website, calls from an Australian number, 1-hour phone calls, checklists, transferring to different departments, 35-page comprehensive report... I paid 9100 USD for a visa application five months ago, but the application is yet to be lodged despite my numerous phone calls and emails. To make matters worse, they lied twice, claiming my visa was approved, to find out it wasn't submitted. They also asked for an extra 4500 USD for a settlement security payment when they told me a second time that my visa was approved. Still, after researching and consulting with the Department of Home Affairs (immigration), the police and a lawyer, I discovered that this company is fraudulent and a scam. I advise everyone not to trust them.

Fraudulent
July 13, 2023

Only took a call for a consultation. During consultation heavily pressured and lied to in terms of timebound applications to part with money.
Do not part with money, this company acts fraudulently. I unfortunately had been caught out, and within 2 hours refusing to refund, against British law and trading standards.

Fake and a scam
November 28, 2022

They pressured 7k usd out of my girlfriend and they did not submit any application for a visa to the Dept of home affairs in Australia.
You cannot contact them, they will only contact you to tell you lies about the application.
They are a scam company. Please use a MARA agent off the gov website.
These are terrible people and the positive reviews on here are completely fake!

Complete SCAM
June 14, 2024

SCAM
SCAM - This company operate a high pressure sales tactics and prey on the emotion attached to families and individuals looking to start a new adventure in Australia, they have awful reviews on multiple platforms where people have lost THOUSANDS of pounds to this company, specifically check Reddit forums.

They asked me to place a deposit after I had explained I wanted to take some time to consider proceeding and discuss with my wife. I specifically asked if the payment could. Be refunded to which their rep confirmed it would be. Within 24 hours I contacted them to cancel and refund to which they refused.

Over the last 8 weeks they have called me repeatedly stating that they cannot cancel without me signing a document. The document if signed prevents you from leaving negative reviews about the company. Another scare tactic and completely immoral.

If you need a red flag to put you off using this company let it be that when I spoke to them most recently they offered to refund 50% of my money if I signed the document and didnt leave a negative review.

I feel ashamed I was able to be bamboozled into paying a refundable deposit however I hope one of the many reviews I will be leaving help others make better decisions.

Took us for almost 10k. Their Canberra address doesn't exist. They are not registered with The government to be an agency.
The positive reviews are made by them on this site.

Great experience

My experience with IC Australia was amazing. On my own, I didn't know how to get a working holiday visa. I stambed on their site one evening and signed up. Jeff called me and explained every detail about the visa I wanted. I didn't waste time. I applied with Jeff guidance, my visa was out in less than 4 weeks!

I recently used IC Australia for my immigration process, and while they were more expensive than other immigration service providers I looked into, I have to say, they were worth every penny. Their team was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and they made the whole process so much easier for me. They were always available to answer my questions and guide me through every step of the process. I was initially hesitant to pay the higher cost, but now that I've received my visa, I can confidently say that IC Australia is worth it. Their service was top-notch, and I couldn't have done it without them. If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy immigration service provider, I highly recommend IC Australia.

Your dreams shattered the penny drops...SCAMMERS...this company even tried to take money out of my dad's account without permission...I just hope that my bank can get me all of my money back and that the scam authorities in australia get them shut down... KEEP AWAY FROM IC AUSTRALIA!

Scammers
July 3, 2023

Avoid at al costs! They ring you and pressure you into making a payment. The emails I received after made me question how legit they were. After doing lots of digging and asking them for my log in details etc I realised I was being scammed.

I contacted the bank who said I had a good case and I requested a refund. Even though I made a payment and answered a few basic questions they said they can only offer a partial refund as they had put a lot of work into my case even though it was days after the initial patent and I hadn't given them any information.

Please avoid at all costs as they are scammers and not who they claim they are. I'm shocked they have any good reviews and I'm sure most are fake.
