UAE: Man jailed for offering fake immigrant visas via social media – News

[ad_1]

He claims his company can help people immigrate to European and American countries



Posted: Monday, September 12, 2022, 8:27 am

A 43-year-old expat has been sentenced to two months in prison for cheating out money for immigrant visas.

He posted advertisements on social networking sites and at building entrances, saying his company was offering immigrant visas to countries and special offers for those wishing to immigrate.

He interviewed victims in an office rented as the company’s headquarters and received varying amounts of money. He also issued a receipt with the company’s logo in exchange for the issuance of a visa.

An official letter from the Ministry of Economic Development said the company did not have an official license. This is because the owner is applying for the license as an individual agency providing tour guide services in the country. This permit does not cover the issuance of tourist or immigrant visas.

During the trial, the defendant denied the charges, saying he was just an employee of the company. But the court confirmed that the defendant deliberately and fraudulently confiscated the victim’s money.

The court ordered him to repay the money he received from the victim as visa transaction fees. He will be deported after his term ends.
