A travel agent promised to get my cousin an Australian work visa for 800k. He already paid 300k before I got to know about it.
Now it's clear that the whole thing is a scam and we're looking for the best way to go about this.

So far, the agent says she has already started processing some documents but she hasn't submitted anything yet.
I've told her that we can forfeit 10% (30k) and have her refund the balance of 270k.
Her response was that she isn't sure yet but we will talk tonight.
The fair advantage we have is that she is a friend of our relative and we know her house and work place.

So guys, please what is the best way to go about getting a refund from this agent?
Do we go to the police? Or do we get a lawyer?.


OP are you that foolish, which one be working visa. Last year 2019 one foolish man asked me to get him a working visa to Germany, i told to apply for tourist visa himself i can only help him with invitation letters.
Please work visa is fake with most agents, maybe only the UAE do that.

She said processes have started.

I will advice you keep calm and watch as things go. If she demands for 500k balance... Then you will have to make her sign a 'money back guarantee' if it doesn't work.

As for that 300k. Bros she say work don start on the application, to avoid dragging case just dey watch till she demand for the 500k balance ok.

Forget about it because the money is gone already. The payer and receiver are both guilty because an agent is not an embassy. You will incur more cost by informing police or lawyer because nothing is free in Nigeria and you won’t get your money back.

Try to talk to the agent to see if you can get the money or part of the money back.

No, it takes nothing from me to say it's me. My first time traveling abroad was in 2014 and I would never make the mistake of using an agent.
So how do one travel out without having an agent? How will the person go about d visa process

if you call police now, it's the half of the money you will get at the end of the day.best approach is if she is not fraudulent play along get him sign documents and get a lawyer. but if your mind is not comfortable working with him organized rugged guys that will show her 6 packs with weed. case settled
Re: 300k Paid. How Can I Get My Money Back From A Dubious Agent? by SavageBoy: 2:51pm On Dec 17, 2020
But can't a person do this traveling process on his own without involving traveling agents,many of which often extort and scam people?

To my understanding, it's not as if all these traveling agents are partners with foreign countries when it comes to issue like this.It's just all about sitting your ass down,putting real efforts and researching to find first hand info yourself.The internet is filled with lot of information regarding whatever it is you're looking for.

God knows that I will never ask any traveling agent to help me process anything when I want to move over for whatever reason.Everything that needs to be gotten or anything that needs to be done will be done myself


Anyway,sorry for plight

Report the case to EFCC and approach the bank to place the account on lien till investigation is completed.
I hope it's not cash transactions?
