Can I immigrate to New Zealand with 1 million yuan? Why do people always get scammed?

#New Zealand Immigration# Introduction New Zealand immigration scams are common, so are they true or false? How should we prevent fraud so that we can successfully immigrate without wasting money? Let’s take a look at the cases of being deceived.

Recently, a Chinese girl who calls herself "Xiaoyun" broke the news to the media that because she believed the immigration agent's words, she transferred 500,000 in cash to the other party, hoping to immigrate to New Zealand, but ended up losing a fortune. Big savings.

The victim Xiaoyun was very angry. However, because the remittance transaction occurred domestically and no formal contract was signed, the police could do nothing.

So, what happened to Xiaoyun?

According to Xiaoyun herself, she met fellow Chinese Xiaolan (pseudonym) when she came to New Zealand to rent a car for tourism in April 2017. Xiaolan claimed to be the owner of an agency that runs study abroad, travel consulting and overseas travel agencies. The two got along well with each other and later became known as sisters.

After she returned from her trip, Xiaolan sent a WeChat message asking her if she was willing to spend 1 million to immigrate to New Zealand. She was also provided with a variety of optional "immigration packages", including investment immigration (costing 3 million New Zealand dollars) and a 1 million "special" immigration package.

Xiaoyun, who has always longed for New Zealand, was immediately impressed and considered the other party to be his best friend, so he believed Xiaolan’s words without hesitation and quickly raised a sum of money. .

Xiaolan’s proposal is to let Xiaoyun marry a local to achieve immigration. This is actually a “commercial marriage” and is an illegal way. In view of this, Xiaolan said that it must be kept secret and the agreement cannot be signed.

Xiaoyun went to the South Island again in November last year, signed up for a language course, and changed his tourist visa to a student visa. She said that she even quit her job in China and was happily ready to immigrate. However, as she became more familiar with New Zealand’s immigration laws, she realized that her “commercial marriage” was illegal, and because she had given 50 Wan was paid in advance to a third party, so things started to get complicated. Feeling something was wrong, Xiaoyun proposed to terminate the transaction, but Xiaolan said that the "commercial marriage" path was induced by Xiaoyun himself, and that she had taken great pains to handle Xiaoyun's immigration and lost a sum of money.

When Xiaoyun realized that he might have been deceived, he contacted the police, but it was too late. The police said that they were helpless, and Xiaoyun wasted half a year with no way to get his money back.

The painful and frustrated Xiaoyun revealed her experience to the media, hoping to serve as a warning to other friends who want to immigrate.

In fact, due to policy influence, New Zealand has been tightening all types of immigration in recent years. Recent data released by Statistics New Zealand shows that New Zealand’s annual net immigration has almost been declining since August last year. , and the current annual net immigration number has hit a record low in the past two years.

Therefore, if you want to immigrate, you cannot simply do it with 1 million, let alone achieve it through illegal means. The police said that those who have very strong intentions to immigrate and lack immigration knowledge are most vulnerable to being deceived by intermediaries. And there are many cases like Xiaoyun's.

Some time ago, the New Zealand media reported a piece of negative news about the Chinese. Shawn Tan, a Chinese consultant, deceived and misled clients more than once during his tenure, including fabricating relevant information about the New Zealand Immigration Service. In addition, he threatened and abused a client, warning the client not to expose his illegal activities.
