It has come to light that a fraudulent seasonal visa scam is currently targeting individuals in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. The scammers are falsely using the name of Amberland Orchards Limited to deceive people by offering fake job opportunities and issuing fraudulent job offer letters and employment contracts.
The scammers have also created a fake website to appear legitimate, misleading job seekers into believing they are applying for genuine positions. They are using this false platform to collect personal information and demand payments for visa processing and other related expenses.
Please be aware that the owners of Amberland Orchards Limited have officially warned the public that they have no connection or authorization with the fraudulent website or any job offers being circulated under their company’s name. They have also confirmed that they are NOT hiring anyone from overseas, and it is NOT possible to obtain a RSE Seasonal visa from India, Nepal, or Bangladesh for employment with their company.
The Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) scheme in New Zealand primarily allows employers in the horticulture and viticulture industries to recruit workers from Pacific Island countries. These eligible countries include Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.
