Canada hopeful scammed of N30m by agent

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man seeking to move to Canada was scammed of N30 million by a fake agent.

A travel advisor, Grandma Shasha, shared the painful story of how the man lost such a huge amount on TikTok.

Shasha shared an image of the visa, which she insisted was fake, and showed people how to spot the difference between a genuine Canadian visa and a fake one. She said a visa agent did a dirty job, taking the client's money without delivering as expected.
