Lot of scams are happening with students in the name of Jamia Entrance Exam. This post will guide you, how to safe yourself from these scammers.

Whats is happening these days?

Scammers are very active these days. In this admission or entrance exam month of Jamia Millia Islamia (February-June of every year) scammers do various types of fraud with innocent JMI aspirants. They will message you personally on your Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram or they may even call you on your personnel number. They will tell you that they are authentic people/faculty from Jamia and they will give you 100% admission in Jamia Millia Islamia in any course, and you just need to pay some amount (likely in Lakhs.)

Some example of scammer’s chat, how they convince you

Some days before, a Jamia aspirant sent me some screenshots and asked me whether he should pay this amount to him or not. This student asked me the authenticity of that person. I was just shocked after reading his chat with scammer. Here I am attaching some screenshot of chat with scammer (Scammer’s name is hidden intentionally in below chat).

Screenshots with scammer:

• In this screenshot, a student asked him to provide last year entrance paper of 11th Arts (School) so that he can see the pattern of question paper and prepare according to it.
• Scammer told that he has original paper of 2019 (Exam is not held yet, I don’t know, from where he has arranged 2019 paper, maybe someone has leaked the paper to this scammer).
• Student asked him that to give last year paper of 2018, because he don’t want that leaked paper of 2019)

• In this screenshot scammer told that he will charge Rs. 500/- just for one pdf.
• Scammer is convincing him to purchase pdf (that contain only 25 solved question) for rupees Five Thousand (Rs. 5000/-).

• Here, scammers is convincing him to send Rs. 100 so that scammer can send pdf on his whatsApp.

• Student is bargaining with scammer, that amount is very high, normal student or any student can’t afford this amount.
• But scammer told him you can’t be select in Jamia Millia Islamia unless you pay this amount .

• At last, student messaged him that he just wanted the last year papers just for practice, and he can’t pay this huge amount.
• He suggested to scammer that not to scam with innocent and poor students.

Student is smart here, he didn’t send any money to scammer and informed us about this big scam/fraud.
