DESCRIPTION OF SCAMMERS ACTION
|
CHEATING
|
Modus operandi of scammers cheating action.
Scammers lure unsuspecting H1B visa aspirants by giving false guarantee
that they (scammers) will arrange approved H1B visa.
Scammers also promise that they will arrange (fake) client documents.
(Client document is one of the required documents for H1B
visa approval.) Honest companies don't use fake client documents.
The ability of scammers to arrange (fake) client documents is the main
reasons of why thousands of unsuspecting visa workers get trapped in this
perfect scam every year.
The aim of the scammer is to trap as many H1B visa worker as possible in this scam. Due to the greed of these scammers, USCIS has to conduct H1B visa lottery every year. Moreover, these scammers know that this scam will never be busted and they will never be punished, so they carry out their nefarious design with impunity.
To further lure visa aspirants, scammers also promise visa aspirants
that the company will pay 75% or 80% of billing rate (but in reality, these scammers pay a fixed salary to H1B visa worker).
|
VIOLATIONS
|
With this false guarantee, scammers ask visa fee (ranges from $500 to
$10000) from desperate H1B visa aspirants.
To lure H1B visa aspirants, scammers also promise that this money will
be returned back in first paycheck. However, the real reason of
returning money back to visa worker is to keep this scam from getting busted (because if any H1B visa worker will complain to USCIS about visa fee violation, then there are good chances that this whole scam can be busted).
Taking visa fee is a violation of visa laws.
Scammers main reason of taking visa fee from H1B visa aspirants is to blackmail H1B visa worker to sign backdated offer letter.
To hoodwink visa law enforcement agencies (like USCIS, ICE, DHS, DoL, DoJ etc), scammers take visa fee from H1B visa aspirants indirectly as
"Training Fee" or "Security Deposit".
To stop H1B visa aspirants to report this violations to USCIS (and to
prevent the busting of this scam), scammers return this visa fee back
to visa aspirants in the first paycheck.
But before returning this visa fee to H1B visa worker, scammers ensure that visa
aspirants fall into another trap. You will know about other trap, as
you go through this blog.

FIRST TRAP
|
Scammers modus operandi of throwing first trap around H1B Visa workers:
The moment H1B visa aspirants pay visa fee to
scammers, H1B visa aspirants fall into the scammers trap.
In
subsequent phases, scammers continuously keep tightening this trap.
Once trapped
into scammers net, H1B visa workers never come out of this trap.
|
FRAUD-1
|
Scammers file new H1B visa petition to USCIS without giving offer
letter to visa aspirants.
Since new H1B visa petition
requires visa worker signed offer letter, so scammers send either
photoshop or fraudulently sign offer letter (in place of H1B visa worker) to USCIS along with
new H1B visa petition.
Not giving offer letter to H1B visa aspirants before filing H1B petition is a violation of visa laws.
Sending photoshoppped or fraudulently signed offer letter to USCIS is an instance of fraud.
Scammers trick of committing offer letter fraud and reverting back this fraud is simply mind-blowing.
Most of you must be wondering why scammers don't give offer letter to H1B visa workers before filing H1B visa petition? Why scammers do offer letter fraud and take risk of going to jail?
Because the salary and other terms & conditions in offer letter are completely different from the promised one. If any H1B visa aspirants will see the offer letter before giving visa fee to scammers, then no H1B visa aspirants will join scammers company. So scammers don't give offer letter to H1B visa aspirants before filing H1B visa petition. In fact, scammers give backdated offer letter after around 10 months of filing H1B visa petition.
|
FRAUD-2
|
Scammers use fake client documents get the new H1B visa
petition approved.
Sending fake client document along with H1B visa petition is fraud. If caught by USCIS, then scammers can go to jail also.
|
MAKE
VISA WORKERS PARTNER-IN-CRIME
|
After the approval of H1B visa petition, scammers don't give approved
visa documents to H1B visa workers immediately.
After the approval of H1B visa petition, scammers first priority is to revert back, as soon as possible, all frauds (fake client document & offer letter fraud) which scammers committed to get approved H1B visa.
To revert back fake client document, scammers start looking for a real project for H1B visa
worker.
To get real project faster as well as to get higher rate and
to make unsuspecting visa workers partner-in-crime, scammers ask visa
workers to fake experience in resume.
Once any unsuspecting visa workers add fake
experience, they become partner-in-crime with scammers.

(FRAUD-2)

How scammers revert fake client document back?
Why scammers revert back fake client document immediately after H1B visa approval?
The moment scammers arrange real projects for visa workers, scammers immediately file H1B visa amendment to USCIS with real
client document (Any delay can bust the whole scam).
Thus scammers revert back the fake client document fraud
(FRAUD-2).
|
ONE
MORE
TRAP
|
After visa workers pay visa fee and get trapped in this scam, scammers always try to put as many trap as possible.
As part of this plan, scammers ask visa workers to resign from the
current job as a precondition to get offer letter from scammers.
Here the scammers plan is to leave visa workers without any option. For example, after visa workers resign from current job, then visa workers won't have any options but to sign offer letter.
|
FRAUD-3
|
After visa workers resign from current company, scammers send
backdated offer letter to visa workers.
Backdated offer
letter contain minimum salary and completely different terms &
conditions.
By putting at least 3 traps on visa workers
neck, scammers blackmail visa workers to sign backdated offer letter.
Scammers also ask visa workers not to put current date on backdated
offer letter.
These 3 traps are:
1. Visa fee
2. Resignation from the current company
3. Not giving approved
visa documents.
With 3 traps hanging on their (visa
workers) neck, visa workers won't have any other options but to sign
the backdated offer letter.

REVERT BACK
OFFER
LETTER
FRAUD
(FRAUD-1)
|
How scammers revert offer letter fraud back?
Once visa workers sign
backdated offer letter and don't put current date, it appears that
visa workers has signed offer letter before their (visa workers) H1B
visa petition has been filed to USCIS.
Nobody (not even
visa workers) will figure out that the offer letter has been signed
after 10 months of filing H1B visa petition to USCIS.
Thus, scammers revert back offer letter fraud (FRAUD-1).
|
CHEATING
|
After visa workers join the scammers company, scammers start to pay
fixed salary to visa workers, which is very less than promised salary
& keep balance money of visa workers.
Scammers never
give this balance money to visa workers. Scammers also know that visa workers can't take this balance money legally from scammers.
However scammers always give
false hope to visa workers, so that visa workers don't resign from the
company.

SCAMMERS
REVERT BACK
VISA FEE
VIOLATIONS
|
How scammers revert offer visa fee violations fraud back?
Reverting back this violations is the least priority for scammers, because until & unless any visa workers complain to USCIS, USCIS won't take any action against scammers.
After 45 days of joining scammers company, scammers give first paycheck to visa workers. Scammers return the visa fee along with this first paycheck. But, even after giving back the visa fee to visa workers, scammers still keep some money of visa workers.
It is very difficult to understand this trick of scammers.
For example,
If the billing rate of visa workers is $100/hr and
Scammers pay visa workers $5000 every month (as per offer letter),
so at the end of 45 days visa workers will earn $26400 (33 days * 8 hours * $100) but get only $5000 salary from scammers.
Thus scammers will keep $21,400 of visa workers balance money. And this money keep growing everyday.
On top of it, there is no way visa workers can take this money from scammers legally.
|
MAKE
VISA WORKERS PARTNER-IN-CRIME
|
With the revert back of all frauds, scammers feels somehow safe. However, there is still exist a way by which this whole scam can be busted.
For example, if visa workers blow the whistle and come forward as a witness against scammers.
So to stop visa workers from blowing the whistle, scammers always try to make visa workers
partner-in-crime.
For example scammers always encourage or
give (friendly) advice to visa workers to commit some fraud.
Additionally, scammers also create some situations and put visa
workers in that situations, which can force visa workers to commit
some fraud.
Once any unsuspecting visa workers fall into
this trap, then these visa workers will never be able to blow the whistle about this scam and will never be able to come forward as a witness against scammers.
Moreover, these unsuspecting visa workers can easily be exploited and blackmailed
by these scammers.
|
SCARE, SILENCE
&
WARN
VISA WORKERS
|
Though most of the tightly trapped visa workers never come out from the trap of these scammers, however some of those alert visa workers (who start understanding the scam) resign and ask balance money from scammers.
Instead of honestly giving balance money back to visa workers, scammers call
victim visa workers in office to scare, silence & warn against blowing the whistle about this scam or to act as a
witness against scammers.
