Thiès : 1 million FCFA pour un visa Canada, le rêve d’une jeune femme vire au cauchemar
The Thiès court of summary jurisdiction examined, this Wednesday, a travel fraud case involving Mr. S. Sow. The defendant is being prosecuted for having received the sum of one million CFA francs from K. Dione, to whom he promised to facilitate a trip to Canada.
According to the evidence presented in court, S. Sow had requested this sum to begin the process of obtaining a Canadian visa. The young woman gave him the money, convinced that her application would be processed within the promised timeframe.
In court, the plaintiff explained that she had been given six months to complete the proceedings. But once that period had expired, she claimed to have received no clear response from the defendant.
"When I gave him the money to start the process for my visa, he gave me six months. After that time, I called him and he didn't tell me anything clear. He told me he had been in an accident and sometimes he made me believe that the visa application process was underway," she told the judge.
When questioned about the events, S. Sow admitted to receiving the one million CFA francs, which he then handed over to an agent named Gora to arrange a trip for K. Dione to Canada. However, he denied any intention of defrauding the young woman or abusing her trust. He stated that he was simply acting as an intermediary.
In his closing arguments, the public prosecutor argued that the charges of fraud against the defendant were substantiated. He therefore requested a one-year prison sentence.
The court found the defendant guilty. He was sentenced to six months in prison and ordered to pay the plaintiff one million FCFA in damages.

Pareil pour les arnaques téléphoniques qui vous réclame de l'argent pour soi-disant payer votre abonnement téléphonique, ou bien vous réclamer votre numéro de compte bancaire ou Wave, jamais un organisme ne vous réclamera vos données bancaires, jamais.
Après si vous avez envie de vous faire voler de l'argent, c'est que vous êtes riche ou très con.
Pour avoir un Visa, il faut se rendre au Consulat ou à l Ambassade du Pays. Je viens de lire l histoires d und personne qui e été escroquée. Payer 3 000 Euros de Visa pour une promesse de Job comme Chauffeur de Camion en Allemagne avec ? 3 700 Euros de salaire. Tout était FAUX😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
