The British Council has recently reported that some impostors 'with connections to test centres' have been able to change IELTS scores and provide test papers before the official test date. The British Council has confirmed that all of these acts are fraudulent.
Specifically, scammers often impersonate partners or have relationships with IELTS test co-owners and claim to be able to access the candidate list and change the candidates' IELTS scores; can provide fake IELTS score sheets without the candidates taking the test; falsify test results on the online IELTS test score confirmation system; and provide test questions before the official test date.
These scams are advertised on social media sites (such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.), on forums or websites, and are sent to candidates via email or messaging apps. In addition, these scammers often approach candidates directly at exam locations or exam preparation centers.
The British Council confirms that all of the above advertising practices and content are fraudulent.
“Currently, there is still a small percentage of candidates who intentionally cheat by finding someone to ‘take the test for them’, using various cheating methods and becoming victims of scammers who want to take their money. Therefore, candidates need to be vigilant when receiving this fraudulent information,” the British Council representative informed.
Cheating cases will have their test results cancelled by the examination board, even after receiving their score reports. Serious cheating cases may result in the cancellation of test results, a 5-year ban from taking the IELTS test, and a refusal to be considered for a period of time by organizations that recognize certificates globally.
“The IELTS test is highly secure at multiple stages before, during and after the test to ensure the accuracy and reliability of an internationally recognised language proficiency test. The British Council has implemented multi-layered security measures to enhance the security of the test, including dedicated test venue procedures and rigorous procedures for the operation and annual audit of test centres.
We also work closely with other agencies around the world, including Immigration and Legal Services, to detect, prevent and take appropriate legal action against fraudulent or deceptive practices in accordance with national laws,” the British Council shared.
