I Paid ₦800,000 for a Mexico Visa Process, Then Received Suspected Fake Documents

I contacted a travel agent through TikTok while I was in China because I wanted help with a Mexican World Cup visa. He said he could arrange a match ticket, hotel reservation, supporting bank account and other requirements. He asked me to pay ₦800,000 upfront, including the visa fee, and I transferred the money after trying to verify his location. He later booked an interview appointment in Abuja. I travelled from Lagos and paid for accommodation in Wuse 2. A day before the interview, his representative brought documents containing a bank account and land certificate that were not genuinely connected to me. I challenged the agent, but he could not clearly explain the documents, ticket, hotel booking or promised account. I refused to submit the documents at first, but I eventually went to the Mexican Embassy because I had already spent money travelling to Abuja. The embassy rejected my application and documents within minutes. I later reported the matter at a police station in Ikeja, but I was told to pursue it in Imo State, where the agent reportedly lives. I am sharing this as a warning to others: please verify any travel agent carefully and do not submit false documents for a visa application. I have records of our conversations and payment.
