My old little home county/region in Sweden fell victim to a similar scam about 20 years ago. It also originated from China.

Use browser based translation tools on https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/smaland/fanerdun-1.

Lots of promised investments, naive local politicians (the same guy is still municipal councilor, gah), lack of critical thinking.

The end result was just a lot of Swedish/EU visas. They had been advertised for $20-30k per family in China. Oh, and also about 100 "investors" + families who had "paid for visas" but not received anything before it all crumbled.

Mmm my browser tools fail on that page, what was the tldr regarding the visa scam? I am in China and there is a huge business scamming foreigners to open a business and get a work-residence permits. EDIT: see comments below, yeah, it seems a similar scam
