The statement highlights that visa scams lead to millions of pounds in losses annually, putting vulnerable individuals at risk of financial ruin, legal penalties, and human trafficking.
Criminal networks are using increasingly sophisticated tactics, such as guaranteed visas and expedited processing for extra fees, to trick potential migrants. Victims often face visa rejections, travel bans, or exploitation.
