CANADA VISA SCAMS

[leighdelbarrio]

I HAVE FOUND ONE EMPLOYMENT AGENCY BASED IN GHANA WHOSE GIVING WORKING PERMIT TO CANADA. AT FIRST, THEY ASK FOR 500USD PROCESSING FEES AND I GOT A JOB OFFER LETTER DULY SIGNED AND STAMPED WITH THE COMPANY DIRECTOR. I CONTINUED THE PROCESS AND PAID AROUND 8,000USD TO THE AGENT. I EMAILED THE CANADA IMMIGRATION BASED HERE IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES BUT THEY RESPONDED AFTER WEEKS. AS PER THEIR CONCLUSION, THE VISA IS PROVEN NOT GENUINE. I WAS SO SHOCKED AND TURNED BACK TO THE AGENT. HE KEPT ON SAYING THAT THE VISA IS REAL AND I JUST NEED TO PAY 300USD MORE TO BE SENT THROUGH COURRIER. I AM TIRED WITH HIS PROMISES COZ HE USED TO SAY HE WILL SEND AFTER I PAY, AFTER I PAY....

NOW, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO TAKE FOR ME TO KNOW IF THE JOB OFFER I GOT FROM A COMPANY IS REAL. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE COMPANY BUT NO ONE IS ANSWERING. NO REPLIES ON MY EMAILS AND EVEN FAX. THE COMPANY HAS A WEBSITE AND IT IS REALLY EXISTING.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF IN CASE I AM A VICTIM OF SCAM. I HAVE THE DETAILS OF MY AGENT IN GHANA AND I AM AFRAID THAT HE CAN HAVE MORE VICTIMS BECAUSE HE ADVERTISED HIS SERVICES ON THE NET. WHERE TO REPORT AND ASK FOR HELP? HOW CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK?

Sorry to hear your story. As of money, its gone forget about it. In your post your a withholding all the information that can help others not to fall into same kind of scam (company website, agent name, phone number, fax, email)

Why are you just telling everybody now?
Why is it fater you have been duped that you are telling people?
You should have made enquiries about this agent from people, or even from this forum.
cic website says clearly on their website to beware of fraudulent people like this. Am afraid you have no case!
cic tells you on their website the steps you need to emmigrate, they have never told you to go and pay to one agent in ghana
or togo am afraid you also wanted to play too smart that is why you have fallen a victim of fraud. Get on with your life and thank your luck that the money is not too much that the agent has collected from you. That agent must be 'agent of evil', that's the only pity you get from me.

Maybe you'll help more people if you come upfront with the name of the Agency and Company they are using in or der to help more people, warn them that these scams exist. Sometimes you get offers that are too good to be true, then they probably are too good to be true; back out!
