Everyone dreams of getting a job abroad. Especially for those who find it difficult to get proper employment in their own country. In a country like India where the problem of unemployment is becoming severe, the dream of working abroad naturally seems more attractive. People try to go abroad to improve their financial condition and give a better future to their family. But this dream sometimes becomes a nightmare due to fraud and cheating. One such example is Jigneshbhai of Vadodara, who lost Rs 5.50 lakh in the desire to get a job in America.
Jigneshbhai’s dream and the story of fraud
Jigneshbhai was a common man from Vadodara, who used to raise his family with his hard work and dedication in his everyday life. But he had a dream in his mind – to go to America and live a better life. He had heard that domestic and kitchen jobs are in great demand in the US and there are excellent earning opportunities. He dreamt of making his life better.
But his dream turned into a horrifying reality. He approached a visa consultant’s office located near Genda Circle in Vadodara, which was run by a man named Hemalbhai. Hemalbhai told Jigneshbhai that he could help him get a job in the US. In return, he demanded Rs 7 lakh. Jigneshbhai gave a major chunk of his hard-earned money of Rs 7 lakh to Hemalbhai to make his dream come true.
Exposure and disappointment
Jigneshbhai was confident that his dream was going to be fulfilled now. But as time passed, he did not see any progress. After a few months, Jigneshbhai suspected that something might be wrong. He contacted Hemalbhai and asked about his visa and job process. Hemalbhai first assured him that the work was going on, but later he stopped responding.
When Jigneshbhai investigated the matter deeply, he found out that no process had started for his visa and job. Hemalbhai had not used the money taken from him. This realization shook Jigneshbhai from within. He asked for his money back from Hemalbhai, but Hemalbhai returned only Rs 1.50 lakh and refused to give the rest.
Increasing fraud incidents in Gujarat
Jigneshbhai’s case is not an isolated one. There are many people in Gujarat who have become victims of fraud in their dream of going abroad. Especially in America, Canada, Australia and European countries, people spend huge amounts of money to get a job, but many times they get nothing except getting trapped in the trap of fraudsters.
There are many fake agents who claim to get a job abroad, but their real motive is only to extort money from people. They make big promises, offer lucrative packages and guarantee a better life, but in reality they have no real contacts or jobs. This is a big network of fraudsters, which is spread all over Gujarat.
Tapping into the desire to go abroad
Tapping into the desire of people to go abroad makes them an easy prey for fraudsters. People think that by going abroad they can improve their financial condition, provide better education to their children and give their family a safe and comfortable life. But by exploiting this desire, fraudsters play games with them. They make big promises and charge huge amounts from people, but get nothing in return.
Need for caution and vigilance
To avoid such frauds, people should be cautious and aware. First of all, people should understand that getting a job abroad is not easy. For this, many legal and administrative procedures have to be followed. One should check the credentials of any agent before believing his claims. Apart from this, taking legal advice before taking any major decision can also be a wise step.
