“Fake e-mails” in prevalence to attract foreign workers.
August 29, 2008 by Misbah Karim
Foreign Affairs warned that criminals claiming to be officers of the Canadian embassy are targeting foreign workers who wish to come to Canada for jobs in hotels and construction.
A government website warned that these criminals are using websites and e-mails to allure workers with offers that the “Canadian Immigration Bureau” provides them a free “Canada Health Certificate” and various jobs at the “Canadian Hotel” or at the “Hotel Omni Mont-Royal”.
It seems that the scam is widening its grips and last June the Canadian High Commission in Dhaka, Bangladesh, issued a warning on its website related to fraud advice. Those immigrants who get caught in their trap are charged from $300 to $600 and the money goes to Gambia, Senegal and other African countries with the help of wire transfer.
The government website clearly warns that the e-mails and span sent to allure these people have domain names that include ‘yahoo’ and ‘hotmail’.
The website states that the Canadian government never uses poor English in their e-mails neither do they request fee payments in US Dollars.
One of the ringleaders apparently uses the name Mrs. C. G. Rose, or Christiana Grand Rose, the website noted.
