Fraudulent Documents, Fake Employers, and Thousands of Euros: Three Women Victims of Cyprus Scam

Three women from India fell victim to a scam in Cyprus, paying thousands of euros to “agents” to work as domestic helpers. The women ended up being illegally in the country since 2024, without employment and with forged documents. The scam involved fake employers and the payment of additional money for alleged social security contributions. Police have arrested a 44-year-old woman involved in the case, who is accused of conspiracy and fraud. The women, initially suspects, have now become complainants and have testified about the deception they suffered.
