Matthew Peters has seen a lot in the twelve years he’s provided services at the Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center in Easton. But on May 13th, just after reading a newsletter about immigration scams, he saw one himself. A young couple, originally from Guatemala, came into his office. They’d missed their court date and panicked. “They said… a friend sent us a Facebook link, and then we clicked on it,” he recounted.
