Verified Case
Fake Job Offer + LMIA Promise
CRITICALFake Job OfferCanada
A victim paid for a job offer and LMIA that never existed. The “employer” domain and documents were fabricated.
Full story
The scam used a cloned company name and a lookalike email domain. Offer letters were issued with inconsistent signatures and missing regulatory details. The victim paid for “priority processing” and was told to keep it confidential. VANHSYA’s verification workflow identified the domain mismatch and invalid employer details early, preventing additional losses and enabling faster escalation.
