Scammer arrested for offering false work contracts to illegal immigrants

Scammer arrested for offering false work contracts to illegal immigrants: "Guardia Civil in Almería have arrested Francisco Javier RM, 34, resident of the village of Vicar, on suspicion of an ongoing crime of fraud and forgery against the rights of workers after receiving several complaints from Roquetas del Mar, which warned that one or several persons were engaged in providing work contracts in exchange for a payment of a sum of money, between 800 to 1,500 euros, but once receiving the money refused to honour the contract. The scammers targetted illegal immigrants to obtain residency in Spain.

As reported by the Commander on Monday, officers investigated and found up to 44 people have been victims of this scam.

The agents found it hard to find witnesses ready to testify against Francisco, as many of them are illegally in Spain, but they got, eventually, the identity of Francisco Javier RM as the alleged perpetrator of the scam, and proceeded to arrest him."
