A Ghanaian recruitment agent, Nana Akwasi Agyemang-Prempeh, has been exposed for allegedly scamming multiple people by selling fake Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) for non-existent jobs in the UK.
A BBC undercover investigation revealed that he had charged individuals thousands of pounds for care worker positions that turned out to be fraudulent.
Several people who had paid Agyemang-Prempeh for job placements told the BBC they lost tens of thousands of pounds after discovering that the CoS documents they received were mere replicas of real certificates issued by legitimate care companies.
Following the clampdown on fraudulent practices in the UK's care sector, Agyemang-Prempeh reportedly shifted his operations to the construction industry, another sector that permits the recruitment of foreign workers.
