Job agent dupes 150 Indians: How can we stop this?

Government should generate an identification of all the legal job agents having licence. Whenever one approaches an agent, he should check his authorisation first. For this, government can set up the names or offices of all its recognised agents in an Internet websites and anybody doing these without licence, should immediately be put behind the bars. Also people should be educated about these people and the way of recognising the correct one.

You should aware about this and you should your friends that such things are happening

There's nothing, Neelima, that one could do with whatever happens in other countries. For its our own ountrymen who get taken by all false promises, handover their passports, job permits, cash and other such things to agents, and that too in a different country alltogether. Being driven by false promises, high aspirations & flashy lifestyle, all such countrymen realise it the hard way that all that glitters is not gold.

The best way we could stop this DUPING act is to create ample and appropriate employment opportunities herein as this mostly happens to people from low and middle class and low / semi educated in qualifications. And in case there would be enough options within, why should anybody look to the outside world?

And, just in case this is to happen with the Indian educated class, then turn to GOD, thump your chest and say ALL IS WELL before cursing yourself.

Well, that's a type of fraud that occured, and using job recruitment process was only one of the way to do the fraud. Preventing this is one step ahead of the situation, where today many  companies, job recruitment agencies, or private job firms openly claim fake/wrong identities of the companies, CMMI levels, processes,  job details and profile... in many cases, policies and rules too have double meaning,  that can  be used for legal boundations . That needs govt control. Normal public can do something, only by voting the governments that help keeping transparency in the business processes ( that also involves job recruitment processes) .

The government can take steps to reduce such activities. But in U.S.A. when one terrorist attack happened the government took efforts to put an end to terrorism in the country. You know the situation in India. The government is finding every way to levy taxes or earn money from common people. But it says that it does not have enough funds for this. How can we expect such a government to take care of this.

The only option is to find out ways to select and allow people to control government activities.
