Migrant worker describes 'modern day slave' scam
A migrant worker who describes himself as a "modern day slave" says he's blowing the whistle on an immigration scam that he believes is rampant. The man came to New Zealand from Sri Lanka. After five years on a work and student visa he was offered a well-paid job and a clear path to permanent residency within twelve months, so he signed a contract. But Danny says it soon became clear he'd signed up for a scam that involved a money merry-go-round to fool immigration authorities.
