She said she was introduced to a company where she was supposedly being trained in preparation for work in the UK.

Processing UK skilled worker visa
Jumtel noted that she thought she would be out of Nigeria within three months but nothing happened for a whole year.
She said the woman training them was supposed to help them get jobs in the UK so they could obtain a skilled worker visa.
After a year, it became clear to Jumtel that the woman would not get any job despite all the preparations for the interview.
She lost £8,500 (GH₵143,783) to a visa agent
That was how she lost £8,500 (GH₵143,783 in today's exchange rate) without getting any job or UK visa.
The woman processing the job for them blocked everyone, and she returned to square one.
Unfortunately for Jumtel, she had resigned from her job, which paid her GH₵828, hoping she would soon get a job and a visa to move to the UK.
Jumtel later successfully moved to the UK after following the right channel and getting a job and UK visa.

Another lady receives. She hoped UK visa

Apart from the visa, the lady, Beautiful Preacher, also got a five-year work permit, and she displayed the documents on TikTok.
