Alleged Immigration fraudster busted in Toronto

Toronto - The Toronto Police have arrested the owner of Indo−Overseas Management Group, also known as IOMG Inc. or IOMG Canada, a company that is accused of preying on college and university students seeking assistance with the immigration process.

The suspect allegedly has used the Internet and South Asian community newspapers to advertise his services. Demanding an up-front fee a police report says that the suspect promised to provide services to new immigrants.
