US embassy flags new job scam, approaches police

February 08, 2024

Hindustan Times

The US embassy in New Delhi has flagged a new job scam targeting health and safety officers in India and Nepal, and has requested the Delhi Police look into the matter, crime branch officers aware of the matter have said.

According to the officers, the fraudsters posed as agents for US-based companies with offices in other countries, and convinced their victims that they needed US visas to move abroad.

The Delhi Police registered a first information report on Monday after the US mission requested an investigation into the scam, and reported a threat to security since several "random" Indian and Nepal nationals had turned up at the embassy premises since October with fake or forged documents.

In its complaint letter, the embassy attached the details of the Indian and Nepal nationals who turned up at the mission, along with their passport details and the telephonic conversations with them. They mentioned names of at least seven individuals, including two Nepal nationals, who reached out to them in the last four month with similar requests.

HT has seen a copy of the letter.
