Police, on Thursday, swooped down at a location in Triumph East Coast Demerara and arrested a man suspected to be in the business of defrauding Guyanese through the provision of fake United States Visas.
In a press statement released yesterday, police said that they were in receipt of numerous reports about the individual’s illegal way of making a living.
Following investigations into the leads provided, the police moved to make the arrest and found the man whom police did not identify, with the travel document and monies collected from the victim of a visa scam.
The suspect remains in police custody and the police are calling on persons who may have been victims of this visa scam to report to CID Headquarters, Camp Road, Georgetown, in order to assist with the investigations.
The statement said that persons posing as employees of the US Embassy in Georgetown are approaching unsuspecting individuals purporting to be able to obtain visas for them. Monies and travel document are later handed over by the victims only to find out that he/she has been conned.
Police advises that the public be beware of such individuals.
