IS THIS A FRAUD?

Indian nationals living in India are being offered jobs in Seychelles right left and centre, it appears. As the email, which was received by one of our readers show, some prospective employees do not even know who the prospective employer is or whether the job on offer really exists. The question being asked is whether there is a criminal gang operating on this seemingly lucrative market. Alternatively, could we have accidentally stumbled upon a corrupt undertaking involving people at the immigration department peddling false GOP certificates to unsuspecting Indian nationals who are being fleeced of their hard-earned money? Unfortunately, the person did not attach a copy of the “certificate” of employment he had received.

Alternatively, this could be a truly genuine transaction except it got to the wrong person. We are not sure if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did receive the email in the end.
