UK: Boss of nursing agency, BizzNurse, sentenced to 18 months in jail after charging prospective migrant care workers exorbitant fees for non-existent jobs
In August 2025, STV News reported that prospective migrant care workers had been charged “thousand of pounds” for fake jobs by a nursing agency, BizzNurse. The director of the agency – Sunitha Kemlo - charged workers over GBP100,000 for her services, with individual workers paying up to GBP13,000 for work visas and certificates of sponsorship.
Impacted workers include prospective migrant workers in India and Nigeria; some workers were already in the UK on student visas.
Kemlo was arrested after clients complained to police.
In October 2025, STV News reported that Kemlo has been jailed for 18 months.
