Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) has warned students and parents about a fraudulent website impersonating the examination board and offering to change examination results for money.
The alleged scammers were reportedly demanding Rs10,000 per subject from students seeking to clear failed papers or improve their marks.
According to reports published on October 29, the suspicious website appeared in Google search results and directed visitors to a WhatsApp helpline for further assistance.
Individuals operating the helpline allegedly introduced themselves as BIEK employees and promised to update students’ results within 24 hours after receiving payment.
BIEK Chairman Faqir Muhammad Lakho has rejected any connection between the board and the website. He has advised students to use official channels for examination results and other educational services.
Fake BIEK Website Targets Karachi Students
The alleged examination fraud came to light after a website impersonating the Karachi examination board appeared in online search results.
Students searching for examination results and related services could reportedly access the suspicious platform.
The website provided a WhatsApp contact number where students were offered assistance with failed subjects and examination marks.
According to the reports, the operators demanded Rs10,000 for each subject and instructed students to transfer the money into private bank accounts.
The offers were presented as examination-related services associated with the board. However, BIEK officials have denied any involvement in the operation.
The board has warned students against trusting unofficial websites or individuals claiming they can change examination results in exchange for money.
Scammers Allegedly Promised Result Changes Within 24 Hours
The individuals operating the WhatsApp helpline reportedly claimed to work for the Karachi examination board.
They allegedly assured students that their marks could be changed or failed papers cleared within 24 hours of payment.
Students were reportedly asked to transfer money to private bank accounts rather than official examination board payment channels.
Reports also suggested that the fraudulent website was later taken offline, displaying a maintenance-related message.
Claims that the operators collected millions of rupees have also circulated. However, the total amount allegedly obtained from students has not been independently verified.
Students should understand that no unofficial person can guarantee a change in examination results through private payments.
