A bad actor impersonates a partner, has a relationship with the co-owner of the IELTS exam, can access the system, and change candidates' IELTS scores; provide fake IELTS score sheets without candidates taking the exam; provide exam questions in advance; falsify results on the online IELTS score confirmation system... This fraudulent information is advertised by bad guys on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and forums, websites, and even sent to candidates via email and text messages. When victims fall into the trap, transfer money to them to "buy scores", they immediately block all communication channels and disappear. Bkav experts said that global testing systems like IELTS have a very high level of security. "Changing test scores" or "accessing the system" is not feasible. To avoid falling into scam traps and losing money, people should only trust official channels like the British Council, stay away from websites and emails of unknown origin. It is important to never transfer money to anyone who claims to be able to change scores or offer cheating services. The British Council also confirms that cheating cases will result in the cancellation of test results, even if the score report has been received. In serious cases, results may be cancelled, a 5-year ban on IELTS, and refusal to be considered for a period of time by organizations that recognize certificates globally
