Work Visa Processing Fee Scam A learner posing to be living in the UK promised overseas teachers a job. The teacher is asked to send money to process the work visa.
In this case, the teacher and "learner" were communicating for almost 4 months. The teacher felt she had verified the teacher's claims and trusted him.
