So yeah, sorry but I still don't see how they could have been aware that this was a scam.
Maybe you are not understanding how it works.

You live in India,you want to go to the United States in order to work,you cannot get permission like everybody else.

So you pay a recruiter to set you up under the student visa program,with that you receive permission to work.

You get to the states and get a job because you now have permission to work.

You do not have to show up for school as the requirement is because the staff is paid off to log you in as attending the class when you are not.

Or the fake accreditated school signs the paperwork that you have attended class.

The reason that you know it is a scam is because you paid the recruiters with the full knowledge that you would not be attending class.

The recruiters collected your money knowing full well that you were never going to attend class.

This is not like some innocent people got caught up in a sting.

It is a buisness it cannot be run unless both parties choose to partake in it and both parties know full well is is a scam.

Thats why they also arrested the recruiters and charged them.
