i wonder how long it will take for the indian government to properly do something about all this scamming happening in the country
no one’s getting spared, apparently
a really unfortunate situation for this couple 🙁
So what I gathered from this, is that Finlands placement as the happiest country in the world has activated scammers to benefit and companies like this are bullshit.
Shame.
How can there be even high educated foreign people who are not cabable of doing research of the country where they are moving in?
This is not only about Finnish problem, but there are plenty of people who move in other European countries with insane promises.
Don’t these people Google or atleast ask from chatgpt if these fake lure promises are true?
Recently I saw online how German guy claimed how in Germany even foreign people can study for free.
I Googled it and first results showed how it costs 1500-20000€ per year to study there as foreigner.
Indians scamming Indians and the poor school has to choose between the financial loss of making the victims whole, or the reputation risk of not
At least something like this might help the economy. Flowing money from 3rd world countries
Who sells a house without searching and studying further?
Shame that they were scammed, but I can’t get rid of the feeling that these people could’ve become tax payers. People who want to work and are willing to learn the language is exactly the people we want, and would happy to call neighbours.
The case against Arcada is pretty damning in this situation. If there’s some settlement from Arcada and the scamagency, hopefully the couple can receive some funds and get back on their feet and set a precedent for other cases.
But yes, once again I have to type this in caps lock “IF YOU DON’T HAVE/DON’T PLAN TO LEARN FINNISH TO AT LEAST B2 LEVEL AND DON’T HAVE ENOUGH FUNDS TO SURVIVE FOR 2 YEARS OR MORE, DON’T COME HERE”. Finland was barely attractive as a labor market and affordable as a place to study even before tuition fee was instituted. Right now, you would be better serve to study elsewhere depending on your level of savings and ambitions. Finland right now will treat your savings and your ambitions very harshly.
Truth be told, Finns often believe that everything is easy here because it is so straightforward if you are a Finnish citizen.
However, most of it does NOT apply to any foreigner who moves to Finland, even if they come from EU / EEA. There are many hoops to go through before anything actually applies to you if you moved here.
