Top 6 UK Scams for Students & Immigrants.#scams #scammers #scambait#UK scams#VisaScams#UK visa
⭐ 1. Fake Visa Agents — The Biggest Trap for New Arrivals
One of the most common scams new immigrants face is the fake visa agent scam.
When someone has visa issues, delays, refusals or confusion about documentation, they usually join Facebook groups or WhatsApp groups looking for help.
And this is where scammers appear.
They message you like:
“Send us this amount, we will fix your visa.”
“We know someone inside the system.”
“We can do your paperwork quickly.”
But in reality, they have zero authority, zero legal power and zero knowledge. Their only mission is to take your money and disappear.
Instead of trusting random people online, always use:
Official UK Government Website
Verified Immigration Consultants
Registered OISC Advisors
Before giving money to anyone:
✔ Check their reviews
✔ Check their website
✔ Check registration number
✔ Verify from others
The UK immigration system is strict — and scammers know newcomers don’t understand it.
So be careful.
⭐ 2. Fake Job Offers & Email Scams — “Pay First, Job Later” Trap
Another huge scam is the fake job offer email scam.
You might receive emails like:
“You have been selected for this job.”
“Pay this fee for paperwork.”
“Send money to process your documents.”
Understand one thing clearly:
No verified UK company will EVER ask you for money to give you a job.
If they ask for money, it is 100% a scam.
Most fake job emails land in the spam folder.
And once you pay, the scammer immediately blocks you — email gone, phone switched off, WhatsApp blocked.
If you want to verify a real company:
✔ Google the company
✔ Check their official website
✔ Check if they are on the Home Office Registered Sponsor list
✔ Confirm using LinkedIn
Never transfer money for a job — not even £1.
⭐ 3. Accommodation Deposit Scam — “Pay Deposit & Property Is Yours” Lie
The most heartbreaking scam new students face is the accommodation deposit scam.
When January or September intake students search for rooms, they see ads on:
Facebook Marketplace
Gumtree
Random unverified websites
The scammer says:
“Pay the deposit first, the room is confirmed.”
But once you pay —
❌ No keys
❌ No house
❌ No landlord
❌ No refund
This happens a lot because newcomers are desperate to fix accommodation before arriving.
To stay safe:
✔ Never pay without viewing the property
✔ Send a friend to check the property physically
✔ Do a video call with the landlord
✔ Collect screenshots and proof
✔ Use trusted websites like SpareRoom, Rightmove, Zoopla
If someone pressures you to pay fast — it is 100% suspicious.
⭐ 4. Bank Account & Online Payment Scams — Data Theft Is Real
This is a very silent but dangerous scam.
People lose thousands because they don’t understand how online fraud works in the UK.
Here you can buy SIM cards without ID — which makes tracking scammers very difficult.
When you shop online on random websites like Temu or unknown stores, and you type your debit card details — scammers can steal that data.
Always use:
✔ Credit Card (because it is insured)
✔ PayPal
✔ Verified websites
If anything suspicious happens:
Call your bank immediately.
Block your card.
Order a new card.
Never delay — because scammers can empty your account within minutes.
⭐ 5. Fake Sponsorship Job Scam — The “Pay for COS” Trap
Many immigrants desperately search for sponsorship jobs to extend their stay in the UK.
Scammers know this — so they create fake companies offering sponsored roles.
They ask for:
£4,000
£6,000
Sometimes even £10,000
They promise to give you a Certificate of Sponsorship (COS).
But what happens next?
The company suddenly closes…
The Home Office cancels their license…
You receive a letter:
“You have 60 days to leave the UK.”
Hundreds of people fall into this trap every year.
Always check:
✔ Home Office Sponsor List
✔ Company history
✔ Reviews
✔ Registration details
Never pay for sponsorship.
It is illegal and risky.
⭐ 6. Airport New Arrival Scam — Fake Taxi Drivers Targeting You
When someone arrives at the UK airport for the first time and there is no friend or relative to receive them — they need a taxi.
This is where airport scammers approach new arrivals:
“Come with me, I will take you.”
“Cheaper taxi.”
“No need to book.”
But once you sit, they can:
Charge 5 times the price
Take you to the wrong location
Refuse to help
Create unsafe situations
Only use:
✔ Uber
✔ Bolt
✔ Black Cabs
✔ Official taxi counters inside the airport
Never sit in unlicensed private cars.
⭐ Why This Video Matters
My goal is not to scare you.
My goal is to prepare and protect you.
Because when you come to the UK, you face many challenges — but scams should never be one of them.
Every country has good and bad people.
But if you stay careful, follow official channels, and verify everything — no scammer can ever trap you.
