Hundreds of illegal migrants are secretly sneaking back to the UK just weeks after being given £3,000 in British taxpayers' cash as a bribe to return home, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Our investigation has discovered the migrants are cynically gaming the Home Office's 'Assisted Voluntary Return Scheme' where they are each given a one-off payment and a plane ticket home.
Fixers brazenly offer step-by-step advice on social media detailing how to pocket the money, cheat the system and get back to Britain, openly scorning the UK Government as 'too trusting'.
