Man arrested for overseas job scam

Kochi: Puthencruz police on Tuesday arrested a 48-year-old man who allegedly cheated several people by offering fake overseas job opportunities. Police identified the accused as Subhash M Varghese, a native of Mattappilly. Between Aug 2024 and April 2025, Varghese ran a firm named Lambromellon at Kadamattom near Kolenchery. He allegedly used forged documents and identity details, including Aadhaar information of a Kozhikode native, to carry out the scam. According to police, Varghese created a bank account using a job seeker's account details, citing it was for verifying transaction history. Through this account, he collected large sums of money from victims. Later, he promised job aspirants that their visas would be ready by April 2025 and even prepared fake agreements to win their trust. Soon he went absconding. He was eventually traced and arrested from a rented home in Thiruvilwamala, Palakkad, where he was staying with his family. Police said that Varghese has served prison time until 2018 for murder.
