Police are investigating a Christchurch company that specialises in finding jobs for Asian students after complaints by 16 Chinese graduates who say they are owed a total of $175,000 in refunds.

Graduates spoken to by The Press say they paid the company, Team Migration, between $7500 and $18,000 to find them a job within four months.

Contracts were signed as far back as January last year.

Many allege they had not even had an interview and none had found relevant employment through the company. They claim company director Reshmi Pratap has refunded none of their money.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Johnson confirmed that police had interviewed several people and that the matter was being taken seriously. "Because various minority groups are not as conversant with our systems, they are more vulnerable."

The matter has also been referred to the Department of Labour. A spokesperson said the department was "unable to discuss this matter publicly any further at this stage as to do so may prejudice ongoing investigation".

Advertisements for Team Migration placed in Chinese-language newspapers and websites say: "With Team Migration you get 100% money back guarantee, contracts and receipts to protect you from losing your money."

All graduates The Press has spoken to say they were verbally assured they would get their money back if they did not get a job, an allegation Pratap has denied. Pratap told The Press her company worked hard to find graduates jobs within four months and had "enjoyed a strong client base and positive reputation".

She said contracts provided that Team Migration "can extend the period and continue working to place the student or provide a refund" and that advertisements the graduates had referred to were not current.

"The company has and is clearly acting in accordance with the contracts," Pratap said.

She said decisions to provide refunds were made on a case-by-case basis, and some complainants were in breach of contract.

Canterbury University commerce graduate Yan Sheng, 23, said most students paid the fees in cash and never received proper receipts.

She paid the company $8000 in January last year. Her contract says "Team Migration will use its best endeavours to place you into a job within four months".

"The jobs that we find are relevant to the qualifications gained by our graduates so they can qualify for permanent residency later on," it says.

"I don't want any other student to go to this agency any more," Sheng said. "My parents were so happy when I graduated, then everything suddenly changed and went really bad. I don't want any more Asian students to cry at home."

All the students spoken to said they had sought refunds. Some said they had been promised refunds but these were then consistently delayed while they were variously told they had to wait 21 working days for a cheque or that Pratap was overseas or in hospital. Many allege they were convinced to pay additional fees to secure job offers.

Others reported visiting Pratap's office asking for refunds, only to be sworn at and manhandled out of the door. Two graduates were forced to return to China when their visas ran out and they had no job.

The Press has copies of their contracts and signed statements telling similar stories of job assurances that never materialised and money not being refunded.

Christchurch Central Labour candidate Brendon Burns said he was contacted by the group a month ago and felt compelled to help.

"Your heart goes out to them. These are quite vulnerable people and we have a reputation as a nation which plays fair," he said.

Team Migration changed its name to Live and Work New Zealand Ltd in January this year.

The Team Migration website was taken down this year and Pratap no longer owns the home listed as her address on the Companies Register.

Jasper Xu, a former employee, said as far as he knew the company was still operating, but he had not spoken to Pratap for several months.

The other cellphone contact listed on the firm's advertisements, for Alan Xu, is no longer connected and police said one of the Chinese managers was known to have left the country.

 

感觉这个世界好混乱

 

好人坏人我都已经分不清楚了

 

是我太傻

 

还是我太容易相信人

 

我朋友告诉我

 

世界上没有好人坏人之分

 

只有和你有利益冲突和没有利益冲突之分

 

确实。。。

 

 

钱

 

真的那么重要吗

 

确实我承认没有钱是万万不能的

 

但为什么

 

有些人可以为了钱放弃一些我认为很重要的东西

 

 

我，一个人，还是生活在我的理想世界里。。。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

只想说今天很郁闷

 

为什么我老是那么冲动

 

不知道还有没有挽回的余地。。。

 

为什么我吃了那么亏

 

还是没有吸取教训呢

 

I am so disappointed of myself.

 

但是朋友还是在身边鼓励我

 

我可以吗？

 

 'why you like dunedin so much'

 

it is not the first time people ask me the same question.

 

'i cant understand why you like dunedin so much. it is just a place where you had your education'.

 

i dont know why. i just hav a special feeling toward dunedin. i spent my first year in new zealand in auckland, and next 3 years in dunedin. in some people's mind, dunedin is just a boring place,  with a few chinese restaurants that cook so so food, 2 karaokes, 1 ice skating, one main st for shopping and of coz Otago University. that is quite a lot, but i still lov dunedin, not just the city itself, but the people i met there, the friends i made there, the great time we spend together. miss Dunedin.

 

i can say that i made a few best friends during my study in dunedin. we are so caring about each other, we do feel like a family. there is no 'troublesome' among us. helping each other is just our responsibilities. like me, i always went to friends' place for lunch/dinner(but i usually did the dishes afterwards), stayed at my friends' flat overnight (i hav tooth brushes in not only one friend's house but a few), went to their place to cry if i felt sad and ...

 

i made a 'stupid' decision yesterday. i quit my current job, and my visa will expire at d end of June. only 29 days left from today. why i quit d job is not imporant, now the thing is how i can find a job in 29 days. there is a lot of pressure on me, but i m not by myself. seriously, my friends are all around me, supporting me, encouraging me.

 

'Daisy, this is the agent that helps international student to get a job. you can giv it a try'

'I will ask my boss to see whether he needs any more staff'

'i talked to one of my friends last week, IRD seems like is looking for someone who is good at numbers'

'Daisy, why dont u come to akl and try. much more opportunities here than in chch. u can stay in my flat'

'i know quite a few friends in akl, i will ask for you about marketing jobs'

'you hav to try! never giv up! believe in yourself! and i will pray for you'

'my feeling tell me you wont leave NZ, you will stay!'

   .

thanks my dear friends. you are the ones that give me confidence. even i only hav less than a month now, i think I can still hav enough time to get a job, DEFINATELY!!! one day if i hav to leav NZ, i will CRY just like the time i left China.

 

friends, no need to talk so often, no need to meet so often. but when I am in trouble, u will be always there and ready to help.

 

THANKS.

 

Love Dunedin, thanks Dunedin. because of you, I hav chance to meet those great friends. becoz of less restaurants, we spend more time together in d house and cook by ourselves. becoz of only one main st for shopping (otago university), it is very easy for us to meet on the street/campus and then hang out together. becoz of its small size, it is so handy for us to visit others' flat. becoz of limited entertainment facilities, we spent more time on big gathering and just talk...

 

In Dunedin, life is easy, peaceful, and full of caring.
