In 2024, 33-year-old Sukhwinder Singh Kang, of Camberley, Surrey, was sentenced for a predatory series of assaults on the financial security and legal status of vulnerable individuals. The investigation established that between June 2020 and June 2021, Kang targeted young women by posing as a qualified Level 3 immigration adviser on Facebook. The prosecution reported at Southwark Crown Court on 27 September 2024, that Kang utilized forged OISC qualification certificates and deceptive messaging to exploit those with limited immigration knowledge, identifying a total abandonment of human decency.
The investigation established that Kang’s series of behaviour involved deceiving victims into paying substantial sums for visa applications he never intended to submit. The prosecution reported that he misled his victims through WhatsApp and text messages, falsely claiming to have sent their identity documents to the Home Office. This identifies a calculated series of assaults on the trust of his clients, who were left in precarious legal positions while Kang pocketed their advance fees. When victims threatened to report him, he offered empty promises of refunds and compensation that never materialised.
OISC INVESTIGATION AND JUDICIAL OUTCOME
The court reported that the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) conducted a thorough investigation after victims raised concerns about Kang’s unregulated activities. The investigation established that Kang pleaded guilty to three counts of providing unregulated immigration advice and services, and four counts of fraud. The prosecution reported in September 2024, that Immigration Services Commissioner John Tuckett emphasised the importance of identifying and eliminating such “illegal practices,” identifying a priority assault by the regulatory body to protect the integrity of the UK’s immigration system.
Judge-led proceedings at Southwark Crown Court concluded with Kang receiving a 16-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, in 2024. For his actions across the UK and the nature of the series of fraud and unregulated advice investigations reported, Sukhwinder Singh Kang has been ordered to complete 150 hours of unpaid community work and 20 rehabilitation activity days. The investigation established that he must also pay a compensation order of £8,832 to his victims, alongside a victim surcharge of £156.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2024, Kang is managed under the statutory requirements of his suspended sentence and probation orders. Due to the nature of the behaviour—specifically the series of persistence in targeting vulnerable individuals within immigrant communities—he is a priority for regulatory monitoring. Authorities reported that the 2024 sentencing identifies Kang as an individual who prioritised his own financial greed over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of those seeking legal residency in the UK.
As a convicted fraudster, his details are logged to ensure he is prohibited from providing further legal or immigration services. Authorities stated that the behaviour of Kang identifies a commitment to clandestine financial violation and the systematic exploitation of those with limited legal literacy. Any future attempt to assault the integrity of the immigration system or provide unregulated advice results in immediate judicial intervention to ensure the ongoing protection of the community from a man who used a “qualified adviser” mask to hide a predatory and persistent series of assaults.
QUESTION – Given that the offender “exploited vulnerable women” and “forged certificates” to commit fraud over an entire year, do you believe the law should legally mandate that “All Individuals Convicted of Immigration Fraud” must be “Permanently Banned from Using All Social Media for Business” for life to prevent a series of assaults?
