Subject · Shell employers
The company that exists only on paper.
Shell companies registered in Ukraine purely to issue invitations, employment offers and permit applications — with no real business activity behind them.
Direct finding
A Ukrainian LLC is cheap to register and easy to operate as a paper entity. Many ‘employers’ contacted by Pakistani applicants are shells with no payroll, no fiscal activity, and often no business plan beyond visa packaging.
Mechanics of the scam
- 01.Shell LLC is registered under nominee directors.
- 02.Broker sells 'jobs' at the shell to Pakistani applicants.
- 03.Applicant pays for processing; shell issues paperwork.
- 04.State Employment Service requests proof of activity — shell cannot produce it.
- 05.Permit refused; applicant has paid and has nothing.
Exhibits

Residential address

Recent incorporation
Incorporated weeks before approaching the applicant.
Vague activity codes
KVED codes too broad to justify any specific foreign hire.
