The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) has issued a warning to students who have recently taken the Class 10 and Class 12 board exams to beware of fraudulent calls claiming to increase their marks for money. According to the UPMSP, these fraudulent calls are being made by people who pose as officials from the board or the education department and offer to increase the marks of students in exchange for money.
Introduction
The Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (UPMSP) conducts the Class 10 and Class 12 board exams every year. The results of these exams are eagerly awaited by lakhs of students across the state. However, this year, the UPMSP has issued a warning to students to beware of fraudulent calls claiming to increase their marks for money.
The Problem of Fraudulent Calls
According to the UPMSP, several students have reported receiving calls from people claiming to be officials from the board or the education department. These callers offer to increase the marks of students in exchange for money. Some of these callers even go so far as to provide fake websites where students can make the payment and get their marks increased.
How the Fraudulent Calls Work
The fraudulent callers target students who have performed poorly in the exams or who are not satisfied with their scores. They offer to increase the marks of these students in exchange for money. The callers often pose as officials from the board or the education department and use fake names and designations to make themselves appear credible.
The Danger of Falling for the Scam
The UPMSP has warned students that falling for the scam could have serious consequences. Not only is it illegal to offer or accept bribes, but students who fall for the scam could also face criminal charges. Moreover, paying money to the fraudulent callers does not guarantee that the marks will be increased. In fact, it is more likely that the students will lose their money and not see any increase in their marks.
How to Avoid Falling for the Scam
The UPMSP has advised students to be vigilant and not fall for the scam. Students should not believe any calls or messages that claim to increase their marks for money. They should also not share their personal or financial details with anyone claiming to be an official from the board or the education department. Students who receive such calls should immediately inform the board or the police.

Such calls are illegal and could have serious consequences. Students should be vigilant and not share their personal or financial details with anyone claiming to be an official from the board or the education department.
