UK Visa Scam Exploits Immigration Rules
A woman named Komal Shinde is accused of running a fake visa scam in the UK.
She allegedly offered fake work permits to migrants for a lot of money.
She promised jobs in places like care homes and fast-food restaurants, but the jobs were not real.
The migrants were told they didn't have to work and would get paid anyway.
The money would then be returned in cash to create fake records.
The UK government is now investigating this scam and is worried about similar frauds happening.
They are warning that anyone involved will be punished.
Komal Shinde is accused of running a visa scam offering fake work permits for £12,000 to £19,000 per visa.
The scam involved fabricated job offers, forged employment records, and false payroll transactions.
Migrants were told they didn't need to perform the jobs and would receive a monthly salary returned in cash.
Shinde allegedly offered Global Talent visas for up to £30,000 with fabricated documents.
The UK Home Office has launched inquiries and warned of legal action against violators.
