Women are easy targets of visa and overseas job scams
Immigration agents involved in fraudulent activities like visa and job scams often target women by promising guaranteed job offers and zero visa fee requirements. Recent studies have shown that fraudulent visa agents usually do not charge visa fees while sending migrants abroad, especially to Gulf countries. However, the visa documentation work requires a fund of around Rs. 75,000.
The Goa police's nodal agency, "Anyay Rahit Zindagi" (ARZ), reported around ten cases of overseas job fraud targeting women. The ARZ recently launched a program called "Pravas" to spread awareness about finding trusted visa agents and immigration consultancies. The relevant authorities will conduct sessions to educate local people on immigration fraud and overseas job scams.
