Ruvimbo Dima Scams Jobseekers £73,500 COS Money – Eduzim News

By A Correspondent | An immigrant residing in UK has filed a formal complaint alleging fraud amounting to £73,500 by a self-proclaimed job placement agent, Ms. Dima Agatha Ruvimbo (pictured). The case exposes a sophisticated scam that has left multiple victims facing financial devastation and emotional distress.

The victim, who requested anonymity, moved to the UK seeking better opportunities and took it upon themselves to assist others navigating similar immigration challenges. Their trust, however, was betrayed when they engaged Dima, who promised legitimate job placements and Certificates of Sponsorship (COS) to aid in immigration processes.

Initially, the victim paid £22,500, confident in her assurances of securing stable employment. While placements were arranged, the company involved had its license revoked shortly after, leaving the victim and others without jobs. The victim was refunded £7000 and left with £15,500.

Desperate to resolve the situation, they were directed to one of Dima’s associates, who charged an additional £25,000 for what was later revealed to be fraudulent COS documents. By November 2023, the victim’s total payments to Dima had climbed to £73,500 across multiple transactions, none of which resulted in legitimate sponsorship or employment.

A Web of Deceit

The ordeal took a darker turn when Dima proposed a sinister solution: recruiting new victims under the pretense of offering COS to recover losses. Refusing to compromise their integrity, the victim declined, further compounding their financial and emotional distress.

Attempts to hold Dima accountable were met with resistance. She blocked communication channels, denied responsibility, and refused in-person meetings, claiming that employers involved were to blame for the failed placements and lack of refunds.

Ripple Effects Across Borders

The fallout has been devastating. The victim borrowed money to compensate those they had inadvertently involved in the scam. Now, they face relentless harassment from creditors and other victims, some of whom have targeted their family in Nigeria, forcing relatives to flee their homes.

“I trusted her,” the victim stated in their complaint. “Not just for myself but for the people who relied on me. Now, I’m drowning in debt, and my family is being threatened. It’s a nightmare.”

The Search for Justice

Armed with evidence, including transaction records, incriminating conversations, and forged documents, the victim filed a complaint on November 17, 2024, demanding the recovery of their money and a formal investigation into Dima’s activities.

This case raises broader concerns about the prevalence of immigration-related fraud targeting vulnerable individuals. Victims, desperate to secure a future abroad, often fall prey to agents who exploit their dreams for profit.

A Cautionary Tale

This story serves as a stark warning to immigrants and aspiring expatriates to exercise caution when seeking job placements and sponsorship services. As the victim awaits justice, they hope their actions will not only bring accountability to Dima but also prevent others from falling victim to similar schemes.

For now, questions remain unanswered. How many others has Dima deceived? And will the legal system ensure she faces the consequences of her actions?

As investigations begin, the victim’s courage to speak out may be the first step in dismantling a web of deceit that has ensnared too many.

Contacted for a comment, the accused briefly communicated on phone and then cut off a few minutes later.
