I think we're moving off the point here. Mo Ali had lost his money whether he turned up of not, because he unwittingly got himself involved in a scam. By not turning up he has ended up (probably) with nothing. By turning up he would have would have had a fake interview, a 10 minute Ex3 and a rejection letter a few days later. By not turning up at least he has saved his time and travel expense.
Wrekin: I accept that Austin may have been paid £80 per candidate, but any reputable school would wonder what was going on when they were presented with tens or hundreds of young hopefuls to "examine" and produce a report on. I'm sure these young hopefuls would have also asked Austin many questions about the process and what happens next, once again alerting them to the scheme they had become involved in. They could have walked away at any point, but they did not.
