Beware of scams targeting students after exams

Be alert to deceptive messages claiming exam misconduct. Scammers target students with false cheating accusations after exams, manipulating them to reveal personal information and falling into traps. Both students and parents should exercise caution.

Avoid falling for promises of shortcuts. In a recent case in Guangdong, a woman paid for a “guaranteed pass” in her driving test, only to realize she had been scammed out of thousands of dollars. Remember that there are no shortcuts in the legal examination process.

Beware of too tempting offers. Scammers often lure students with low prices and attractive promises, only to then demand additional fees on ambiguous terms. Legal driving schools will have the appropriate licenses and certificates – always check these before making any payments.

Urgent action against fraudulent schemes must be taken. If you suspect any fraudulent activity, gather evidence and report it to the authorities immediately. Protect yourself and others by staying vigilant and informing yourself about potential scams.
