We went to agents to help us with work and accomodation in London. they worked independently with this individual in London who owns houses and also helps with job opportunities. as well as paying the agents for our visas and job placements, we also paid the individual in London placement fees. when we arrived we were taken to our accomodation, which was satisfactory, but where not helped immediately with job placement. we gave it a few days but, after 3 weeks, are still umemployed. we have gone to find our own work but have not as yet been employed. we were as well told that we needed no more than 300 to be able to live and pay rent, but because we are unemployed it has forced us to owe this individual money (which is against the laws according to our visa application). my pleight is that this individual has not helped us in anyway in the job realm in London, and has forced us to owe him money, ultimately threatening to deport us because of this as well as taking away our passports, which is illegal.
the reason why we are issuing this report is to warn unsuspected individuals from falling into the same trap, and rather to work through companies that can show proof of job application and the like. please remember not to be naive and do not trust anyone!!
