Canada: Recruiter charged "hundreds" of Filipino migrants illegal fees through two cos., Link4Staff & Berderald Consulting
“This recruiter has allegedly scammed 'hundreds' of Filipino migrant workers. Some are now homeless”
Her company's social media account is plastered with hundreds of photos and videos of beaming foreign workers, each holding a work permit — their golden ticket to building a new life in Canada.
Moskito — who is not a lawyer or an immigration consultant — is also in the pictures. As a self-styled recruiter, she helps newcomers find jobs in Canada through her two companies Link4Staff and Berderald Consulting…
A months-long investigation reveals she is one of the Ontario Ministry of Labour's most notorious repeat offenders, caught 35 times taking payments from dozens of foreign workers in exchange for finding them jobs — which is illegal across Canada.
So far, Moskito's punishment has been to pay back the money she took illegally — a total of about $200,000 — along with paying a handful of ministry-imposed $250 fines.
Seven former clients have also taken her to small claims court, alleging she charged illegal fees and refused to refund them when confronted.
Philippines consulates in Canada and Israel have even issued warnings against using her services…
Moskito did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
