A new visa scam has come to light targeting Chinese international students in the UK. The scam works by presenting a threat to students immigration status and uses various techniques to extract sizable payments from the victims. In the worst cases, it embroils them in money mule scams and thats a bad result for the students. The UK is hugely popular with international T4 visa students from China, with applications up some 30 percent since 2018. Since 2012/13 the number of entrants from China each year has exceeded the number from all EU countries combined.”]
