immigrant workers: Erwin Mendoza who has been working on the investigation since last fall, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The probe into Saluma activities began in October, after police were contacted with allegations that a large number of people had been defrauded by a Toronto-based recruiting agency dealing primarily with immigrant workers. Toronto police announced fresh charges against Imelda "Mel" Fronda Saluma on Tuesday, saying her victims have allegedly been defrauded out of over $2.3 million. "She did prey on people hopes to get them over here, because everybody wants to get to a better place," said Det.-Const. It was alleged that individuals, their family members and friends from other countries were recruited for jobs in Canada by the agency, identified as GoWest Jobs International. An application would then allegedly be submitted to government agencies in the foreign countries on the victims behalf. Payment was allegedly requested so that positive documents, references and employment contracts could be provided to applicants, but police said those documents were fake. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
