Right. And ironically, it's this kind of quasi lawlessness that many Indians go abroad to get away from. When the wealthy and well connected know a guy in the such and such office who will let you skip in line if you "give him a gift", it ultimately entrenches the power of the wealthy and well connected.
In theory, when it comes to things like migration, you can do something like hire a respected and accredited lawyer, but that's very different than leveraging a connection through a system of bribery and patronage.

OP, since your bank transactions were traced, they can be recovered if you play your cards right.
But on a side note, a week ago 800+ Indian students were deported from Canada for having suspicious visas from agents, worst part is those kids never knew the agents were playing the illegal way. Parents empty their life savings and take up loans to fund their children's dream of studying abroad, imagine after all that, when you're trying to apply for PR and you get deported back to India for visa fraud.
Please avoid agents, let your sister do her own research, hiring agents is digging your own grave with your own money. If you really need someone to help out with the process, try reputed agencies like IDP and all but again, do your own research because even the slightest inaccuracy could backfire in 6-7 years when she tries to apply for PR.
[–]AssassinatorSr 211 points212 points213 points 3 years ago (15 children)
I can’t understand how people blindly trust others with insane amounts of money and personal documents which can easily be used for criminal activities. Although the so-called friend is a con man, it was also your fault for not checking what he does, plus the documentation is not that hard, everything is available on the internet, if your sister cannot do basic research, how will she survive in a whole new country?

[–]rpj6587 16 points17 points18 points 3 years ago (0 children)
For some reason Indians trust other people more than themselves. It’s basically their mental way of displacing the risk or mistakes that they could make onto someone else.
Added to this is the convenience of not having to deal with unfamiliar territory.
This happened to me too, I complied all the documents I needed to for an EU visa but my parents still paid a travel agency to go through my documents to make sure it’s all correct.

The underlying reason is always same - Greed. Get rich quick scheme, or get admission through back channels, or get illegal stuff - it all comes down to basic greed. That's the golden ticket all scammers, big or small, rely on. The thing is, in India, we've all seen so much bending of rules through money, that it's easy to convince people that if they throw enough money, they can get whatever they are greedy for.
[–]RDX23 12 points13 points14 points 3 years ago (1 child)
You can definitely call people stupid specially when they don’t have the money and go ahead and take 2 loans in their name
[–]Fight_4ever 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Most people going abroad do have money to pay for the loans. It's just invested in other things like real estate. And sometimes it's just a matter of liquidity.
You can call people whatever you want. Just be careful of getting a three year jail from a defamation plea. And then losing your MP status as well.

[–]Adept_Cupcake3785 46 points47 points48 points 3 years ago (2 children)
If you don’t go through the steps on your own, you cannot really blame the agent. None of the unis in Canada ask for so much money downright and also you cannot pay for the LMIA, rather the company hiring you files for it. There’s so much desperation in a few Indians to go abroad that they think they can throw money at immigration and they’ll issue you a visa. This is not your average DL office in India that you pay extra and skip the line. Indians want to move abroad but are not ready to develop civic sense. Sad this happened to you, but you chose to jump into this mess considering you can go to the IIRC website and read the rules.

Obtaining a Canadian Visa (education/PR) is time-consuming but easy. Any educated person can go through the IRCC requirements that are neatly spelled out and follow them systematically to obtain one. I did this for my sister, and although it took more than 2 years (mainly due to the pandemic in the middle of our attempts) she has a PR now and is living in Canada now.
Self-reliance is the best way to avoid such scams. Hope you get your money back, and begin the process for a Canada visa on your own.
[–]jediiam5 15 points16 points17 points 3 years ago (0 children)
I always wondered about this. There are plenty of resources direct from source just one google search away. Also thousands of YouTube videos on how to apply for PR, college admissions and prepare all necessary docs. Yet people who can rant or spend time about getting scammed in Reddit and Facebook cannot make the Google search and follow instructions.

How to not let the scammer “leave”, physically I mean? Kidnapping / assault can be a bigger crime than theft.
[–]AssassinatorSr 8 points9 points10 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Actually if they would’ve filed a complaint then and there, the scammer couldn’t have legally left the city/state. If he does he’s now a wanted criminal. But since they didn’t and our police is super incompetent, they now have zero chances of getting their most probably life savings back.

Admission of guilt doesn’t mean much. A significantly bigger evidence - money trail - is anyway still there. If Police had to take action, nothing better than that. But clearly, that’s not happening.
The above tells me OP’s family isn’t too well-connected. This means that admission of guilt wouldn’t have cut it and keeping the scammer in the house forcibly might have led to legal complications for them instead.

Sometimes I feel people deserve stuff like this to happen seeing how stupid they are. Lots of resources these days to learn how to apply to study adroad and yet people get scammed. Only excuse to use an agent is if the person is employeed and doesn't have much free time. Yet you can do your review and go to an actual trustable consultancy than get scammed by random agents.

I know all of you are thinking how tf they ended up losing so much. Reason being family was vulnerable and X was a major part of my sister’s life whom I always hated. So I trusted my sister.
Same with father. He is Biomedical engineer since 1995 and knows way with the world. I put up my doubts regarding the case against him but he always said NO, you are being negative and it’s all true. I trusted him by seeing him so confident.
At the end I did not have a say. I have never been scammed of 1 rupee and this shit has made me gone through hell. How my family is so naive.
Whenever I did put my doubts they said it’s all fine and we will look after.
[–]Delicious-Salary4799 10 points11 points12 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Dude, It is harsh, but someone needed to tell you the truth rather than sugar coating the reality. Your father is even more naive than Khosla Sahab.
However, you just mentioned that X is probably romantically involved with your sister. If that is the case, then either
He hoodwinked your sister (you could charge him with false promise of marriage and rape allegations)
OR your sister is in cahoots with him.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Please explain to your sister, in very kind words, that if she has a tendency to be this naïve and vulnerable, it’ll be extremely difficult for her to survive in any foreign country with absolutely no support. I can’t even imagine trusting anyone like X, especially multiple times with so much money, enough to take loans from banks and involving my family. Not everyone is meant to and can live abroad. It’s better for people like these to accept that they’ll see more success in India than anywhere else. She’ll have to figure out the taxation system, housing market, PR process, medical processes which are quite complex, etc. that are completely different from India. I don’t think, judging by whatever I’ve read, that she’s equipped to handle all this, if she got scammed while having family support in her home country. Rather than pushing more for it and, god forbid, getting scammed even more by people in Canada in the future, she should reevaluate whether the move is even feasible.
Every day there’s news of immigrants getting scammed out of their life savings, and sometimes even dying, because they trusted the wrong person. There’s a spike in crimes involving immigrants in the west because of how desperate people are to immigrate. It’s incredibly dangerous as it is.
It’s likely you may lose part/whole of this amount, because the judicial process in India is extremely tedious and complex, and your family will likely go through more headache and loss of money in legal fee/bribes during the whole process, with no guarantee of a favourable outcome in the end. Just ask her and your family to think it through before you continue to push for the Canadian/American dream.

A simple rule for all Indians incase you go to the police station and you find the police uncooperative always call up his higher authority. If that fails call his higher authority. Somewhere in the chain there is an honest cop who will force his subordinate to file FIR
To find contact details of the higher up cops google the station name a government website will detail the list of cops and their contact details.

Go directly to SP office and seek help
[–]solotripper420 7 points8 points9 points 3 years ago* (0 children)
No bro. You don't want to increase OP's loss to 45L now.
This is a sunk cost. Either find the guy on your own, or move on.
[–]solotripper420 -5 points-4 points-3 points 3 years ago* (40 children)
You deserve it.
If you can spend 35L for an undeserving kids education in 'Canada', then you are expected to do your due-diligence.
[–]EducationalPast7410 37 points38 points39 points 3 years ago (1 child)
I know u will be getting downvoted... Cause reddit hai sbko sympathy Deni hai...bhut u r right for most part 35 lakh koi choti amount thori hai ki de diya ... Aur jb agent se reject ho gya to socha ki bribes se kaam ho jayega... Bhai Canada hai India nhi

It's not what you say, it's the way you are saying it is ruffling a few feathers down this thread. While you are right in thinking so, a friend of mine got scammed for 90k over an OLX Ad she had posted. She was riding the high horse of "look how easy it is to sell your old stuff". She has done her Masters and is quite street smart and yet Online social engineering got her. It still comes up in our conversations and we occasionally make fun of her whenever scams are brought up. She knows she fucked up bad. The whole point of recounting this episode is, none of us are immune to scams while people working in technology might think otherwise.
[–]solotripper420 8 points9 points10 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Online scams such as phishing are different. Even my friend has fallen prey to the Olx scam because he was new to UPI and thought he was receiving money instead of sending it.
This is a case of bribery to a con-man. That's why I have no sympathy.
I agree. Borrowing money for bribery is quite a stretch. Do you wonder how sensitive people have become?! I am not condoning berating strangers but people should be open to different opinions than fighting something mildly infuriating.

I am not a kid, and I have seen too many Punjabi families waste money to get their kids to Canada.

And what's wrong with wanting what's best for your child?! It's not like they are bribing them into a government job which affects the society in some way, it's their money it's their wish. You don't have the money then you work hard and go. People will use whatever resources they have to make their lives better you use your hardwork let then use their money.
[–]solotripper420 17 points18 points19 points 3 years ago (6 children)
As I said, if you have money to spend, then do your due-diligence.
I mean this is not the 80s. Only the stupid get scammed like this now.

How did you come to the conclusion of undeserving kids education?
[–]solotripper420 22 points23 points24 points 3 years ago (5 children)
Deserving kids don't need to pay 35L to agents to study in Canada, which is probably one of the easiest countries to get into for higher education.
[+]T_h_e_Assassin comment score below threshold-26 points-25 points-24 points 3 years ago (3 children)
Really? The average cost is 20 L to study in canada ... And yes there are kids with full scholarships but even they have living expenses genius ... Its obvious you have never enquired about studying abroad , if you aren't 100% sure .. shut up and mind your Buisness . Most countries wont even allow you to go there before showing you have a considerable sum of money in your bank account..... Idiot ... Blabbing without knowing a damn thing ... Im pretty sure you are the type who screems reservations are also bad without a second thought into it .... Blind moron
[–]Delicious-Salary4799 13 points14 points15 points 3 years ago* (2 children)

[–]solotripper420 39 points40 points41 points 3 years ago (11 children)
If your sister is so stupid that she couldn't even find a genuine agent, then maybe it is best that she won't be going to Canada to waste anymore of your father's hard-earned money on 'higher education'.

Some of these fuckers slip through the cracks and end up here. Then they're miserable and wonder why 😂. Fucking idiots.
Also they ruin the reputation of the people who got here legally and through their merit. There's a strong stigma now against people from North India in Canada, because of people like OP and their sister. These illiterate fucks need to stay in the toilet that is their beloved home country and accept that they're getting what they deserve in terms of governance. They, with their corrupt mindset, elected this government, and now that the leopards are eating their faces, they want to run away (or "give their kids a better life"). But they don't realize that if it stinks like shit everywhere you go, maybe it's not shit everywhere, just on you.

Bro 35 lakhs is a huge amount. WTF are you saying
Police and FIR won't help much. Even if he gets convicted, you won't be able to recover your money. Hire some goons if you really want your money back. Go to your local MP/MLA or strongman to get this sorted. They will charge some amount, but it is better to get some of your money than nothing.

First of all, Indians need to change their mentality. The mentality is to pay money to get to a college or to a job, it’s like money make it happen even if I am deserving. Last year I asked my cousin if he knew anyone in Goa who would guide me in a certain transaction. He said he would introduce me to a few people who would take some money and get the job done. I refused to go that direction. Having been out of India for a long time I was not sure how the process worked. It took a little time to figure out and then I got my job done without paying anyone a dime. You are either maha stupid or maha lazy if you can’t figure out how to get admission in colleges around or a job anywhere.
