Pakistani gang ‘pocketed millions’ in bogus college scam, does UK immigration do any checks?
A Home Office investigation is under way today into a Pakistani gang alleged to have pocketed millions of pounds enrolling hundreds of men from the militant heartland of al-Qaida into bogus UK colleges.

This type of ’scam’ has been going on ‘for years’ and the government has never done anything about it. All these (so-called) colleges work out of some house/small building and only use there UK address to function – and post out all these ‘diplomas’ so the person can ‘re-enter this country’ and not be troubled by the immigration people – who have’nt got clue where these colleges are.
Now because of whats happen (your link) the government ‘may’ sort this problem out – but don’t hold your breath.
