BBC investigation finds scammers offering to ‘help’ women get UK visas for their children and themselves
British men are taking payments of up to £10,000 to add their names to the birth certificates of migrant women’s children, according to reports.
A BBC Newsnight investigation has found scammers are using Facebook to find willing participants and claim to have “helped” thousands of women with the move, which helps the child to get UK citizenship and the mother a residency route.
