Australian High Commission Warns of Visa Scam 

          The Australian High Commission is cautioning the public of a new visa scam allegedly perpetrated by an employment agency running in south-west Delhi. In recent weeks, more than 50 people have reached the High Commission after paying lakhs for a work visa, only to be informed that they have become a victim of yet another visa scam.
          The Australian  High Commission is concerned about the growing number of victims and advises any potential visa applicants to exercise vigilance when visa agencies offer jobs.
          "Australia does not have a work visa program of the sort being promoted by the scammer- our Temporary Skills Shortage work visa is run only with allowed sponsors, and only for applicants with specific skills in demand in Australia," explained a spokesperson from the Australian High Commission.
           "Some of the recent victims have said they paid up to 50,000 INR just for a non-existent airfare and a medical check with an unauthorized clinic, in addition to all the other fees they have been charged."
           In addition to being charged for job placement- sometimes with bogus job offers using the names of genuine, well-known companies in Australia -and "visa lodgement " fees, the victims have also had to pay to go through a medical examination in a medical facility also located in South Delhi, that is not associated with Australia's approved panel physician.
           The South West Delhi agency has also provided victims with a fake visa grant notice, which links to a non-genuine visa checking service on a fake website.
           "we have seen clones of our website before but the newest version link to a fake visa checking site that only contains the visa details concocted by the agent. This may look convincing to someone who is wanting proof the agent is not duping them-but actually, it is still all fake.'
            Some of the victims of this fraud have advised that they are in the process of seeking assistance from local law enforcement agencies.
            "We work with website hosts to take down the fake website but the scammers often start up again with a different site. we encourage victims of this and another scam to promptly report this illegal activity to local authorities."
             All potential visa applicants should refer directly to information published on the official Home Affairs website:www.homeaffairs.gov.au. A list of approved physicians can be found at https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about/contact/offices-locations/india. The Australia High Commission website also has a page listing recent scams: http://india.highcommission.gov.au/ndli/visas_and_Migration.html.
