    After I scheduled a time one guy called me over the phone, as soon as I saw the location as Canada I answered the call and there was a nice guy started a conversation. :cool: :cool: he basically spoke for like 19 min with me, :rolleyes: during the conversation he sent me this email and asked me to read it while he read it back to me out loud. :confused: :confused:

    Also during the conversation, he mentioned that my English knowledge is good :rofl: :rofl: so that you don't have to worry about IELTS, plus they gonna follow up until you get 6.5 each in IELTS.
    as we came a conclusion with all the agenda he mentioned, he asked how you going to make the payment, either Master or Visa, I selected Visa.
    and he said in order to complete the process i need to know your card expiry date.
    (Up to this point he has been a really nice guy, i mean i felt like talking to one of my good old friends) so i shared my card expiry date without a hesitation. after that, he asked the card number in a really humble way (that's where i became skeptical about the whole thing) so i said "Man, listen this is too early for the payment and event that is unethical to ask card number for registration", while he kept talking i hung up.
    then he sent me another email, called me like crazy.

    So what i wanted to share with you guys, don't fall for this scam. They have some next level manipulating skills.

    (Sorry for any grammatical mistakes)

    Yea i also experienced the same thing.. They called from Canada number. They talked with me in very friendly manner. Finally they asked for credit card number. That's the end of the conversation. When he requested my card number i didn't say anything just disconnected the call. After that they called me lot of times. i blocked the number. This is a next level scam. They might have earn millions from this scam. I saw they advertised it every social media platforms.

    Search the Net first.. Many say it's a scam. In any case why do you pay stupid agencies. They cannot do anything. Just apply through the Government portal, whether its Canada, Australia or Timbuktu...

    First of all, ignore the answers to this question saying they are legit. Those reviews are posted by the scammers themselves. If you check the profiles you will know there are no other answers. NextDestination Canada is a big scam. I saw an ad about Canada immigration on Facebook and clicked through to a website the looked legit. I filled in my information there expecting an email. A few days later, I got a call from these people saying my profile has been selected for Canadian immigration. I didn’t understand what that meant because I know exactly how the process goes. So, I asked them to clarify further and they said they are government approved agency and the only agency I can trust to guarantee immigration within 6–7 months.

    Then the guy gave me an in depth description of how the Canadian immigration system works (which I already know and is available in greater detail on the CIC website). He asked for my personal details like education, job, personal worth etc. I lied here and there because I couldn’t just trust someone calling me without even acknowledging the details I submitted online. Then he said the whole process would cost me around USD 3000 and that I had to pay USD 750 for starting my profile and having initial assessment. I found it ridiculous because the assessment is free on the CIC website and it won’t cost USD 3000 for the entire process. I knew it was a scam right then but I decided to roll with it. He said I will have to the payment of USD 750 right away to start my profile. I said I can do it later. Then he started saying rubbish like if I don’t do it now my profile won’t be selected for the next 5 to 6 years. At that point I wanted to burst out laughing but I wanted to see how far he would go. He even gave me details of someone named Eivy Joy Quito. I googled that name and found her on LinkedIn and their own website. This woman’s name is listed on Canadian government’s authorized consultant’s list. I don’t see how she is associated with NextDestination Canada as there is no mention in her LinkedIn profile.

    Anyway, I acted cool and the guy who called me sent a PayPal link to make payment of USD 750. I opened the link after verifying it is not a phishing link. Then, I played him. I said my credit card is not working, page not loading etc and he said he wants to connect my call to his financial department and some other guy took over. This guy sent me a link again. I said it doesn’t work and then he asked me for my credit card details!!!!! I said I cannot give and he was like just give me the first 6 digits and I gave the first 6 digits and he checked it up and found what my credit card issuing bank is. That rang many bells! I felt very uneasy. He then asked me to give him the rest of the numbers.. I said no way! At that point he must have realized I am seeing through the scam and decided no, I didn’t ask for your cvv or pin number. Well, let me tell you, he was gonna ask my full credit card number. He then connected me back to the first guy who started accusing me of lying to him about my credit card. I said I don’t want to make payment now I will do tomorrow and he went from USD 750 to USD 500 .. LOL

    I said I may not have the credit limit that’s why my card is not working and he again went down to USD 250. I was at that point wanting to stop this game. I told him I cannot send any money now and started reading the bad reviews left by other people on Google.

    At that point he went defensive and even sent a tweet to Google like this. LOL. He didn’t know I was checking their social media as we spoke.


    He started giving lame excuses about bad reviews on Google and then I found multiple accounts run by NextDestination Canada on Twitter. He was at that point literally pushing me for money saying that rubbish again and again that if I don’t proceed with the application now, I won’t be able to do it for the next 5 to 6 years!! LOL. I didn’t give up and refused to pay him. At last he knew he had no choice and he cut the call.

    Trust me. This is 100% SCAM
