HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad City Police, through its Crimes & SIT division, has exposed multiple fraudulent visa schemes targeting job seekers aspiring to work abroad. The operation led to the arrest of several individuals involved in deceiving innocent victims under the guise of providing job visas for countries like the Malta, UK, Canada, and Poland.

According to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Crimes & SIT, Hyderabad, the scam operated through unauthorized consultancies such as Riyan Visas & Immigration Pvt. Ltd. located in Lakdikapul. The mastermind, Madasu Kumar, along with his associates, allegedly collected approximately Rs 7.6 Crores from around 100 victims by promising legitimate job visas. They utilized digital advertising platforms and hired unauthorized agents both domestically and internationally to attract and dupe job aspirants.

Legal actions against fraudsters

After paying hefty sums victims received fake job offer letters and Certificates of Sponsorship (COS), which were later found to be counterfeit upon scrutiny by embassy officials. This led to the rejection of their visa applications and even bans on entry for some victims. The police initiated action based on complaints filed by numerous victims.

Cases were filed against other fraudulent entities like Hexus Migration Consultancy, Anaga Career Solutions, Ray Seven Education and Immigration, Hope Stone Career Consultancy Pvt Ltd, and SRNGLOBAL VISAHELP PVT. LTD. Each case involved similar tactics of luring job seekers with false promises and collecting substantial sums of money under fraudulent pretenses.

The Hyderabad City Police issued a stern warning to job aspirants, urging them to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of consultancies before proceeding with any visa-related transactions. They advised potential victims to physically visit consultancies, verify past application documents, scrutinize job offer letters and Certificates of Sponsorship through official immigration sites, and avoid relying solely on social media reviews.

The arrests and subsequent legal actions underscore the Hyderabad Police’s commitment to protecting job seekers from falling prey to such elaborate scams. They continue to investigate further potential fraud cases and encourage the public to report any suspicious activities related to visa processing consultancies.

In conclusion, the crackdown serves as a stark reminder for job aspirants to remain vigilant and informed, ensuring their aspirations for international employment are pursued through legitimate and authorized channels only.
