These fraudsters engage people to provide them with employment in Canada, and by trapping them, they ask those innocent victims to send them money.

 

The latest investigation by a Canadian Newspaper, Montreal Gazette, has revealed some ghost networks of these scammers.

The fraudsters present themselves as Canadian residents or give them greed for work, employment and permanent residence in Canada. The fallen victims of these scams are from the Middle East. The primary purpose of these scammers is to obtain money in the name of Canadian employment opportunities.

 

How the people are scammed?

 

The scammers have set up fake recruitment agencies, and they pose themselves to be regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants across the country. The victims of these scams say that they were first contacted by those fake consultants, who said to be the recruiters, and they need to hire skilled workers to fill the labour demand in the construction industry. The total fake hiring is done, and applicants are called to submit their documents. After the initial phase, the applicants are directed towards an immigration consultant, and they are required to submit more documentation. As they submit these formalities, the fake consultants demand money, and when the victims are fallen to their trap, they disappear. In fact, it is well planned and well-organized crime.
