Alert: ..100% pass guarantee for over 250 certifications... classic "brain dump" or "proxy exam" scam

Recently I have been flooded with numerous InMail offering 100% pass guarantee for over 250 certifications, including ISTQB, Salesforce, Auditor, PMP, RMP, SIX SIGMA, CBAP, Microsoft Azure, AWS, CISCO, CompTIA, JUNIPER, CEH, TOGAF, and more.

Success require efforts - One will never achieve success without putting forth effort.

I believe that nothing comes from nothing; you need to make an effort. If it sounds too easy or too good to be true, it almost certainly is.

It's important to respond appropriately to avoid getting caught up in it. A simple thought puts in the perspective of:

• Guaranteed pass: Legitimate certification bodies and training providers never offer a guaranteed pass. Certification success depends on individual effort and knowledge.
• Extensive List of Certifications: Offering guaranteed passes for such a wide range of diverse and complex certifications is highly suspicious.
• "Brain dumps" or "Proxy Exams": That's the term for these kind of scams! These scams often involve providing stolen exam questions and answers ("brain dumps") or having someone else take the exam for you ("proxy exams"). Both are unethical and can lead to serious consequences.

Risks:

Using braindumps or proxy exams violates the ethical codes of most certification bodies. You risk having your certification revoked, being banned from future exams, and damaging your professional reputation.

These scams often involve sharing personal information, which can be used for identity theft or other malicious purposes.

Even if you manage to obtain a certification through fraudulent means, you will lack the actual knowledge.

In some cases, participating in exam fraud can have legal consequences.

Closure:

I was this close to reveal the name of the person who sent me that email, instead of ruining his career I have taken effort to put here as an article. Further I would do and encourage also that if the post is on a social media platform, online forum, or job board, report it to the platform administrators. Most platforms have mechanisms for reporting scams and fraudulent activity.

However, there is no easy way to report this type of scam to relevant certification body.

Mass copying and proxy exam sitting are serious issues that unfortunately occur in various educational and professional settings, including in India.

If you come across such practices and promotional emails I suggest to never indulge into such activities and raise awareness about the ethical implications of cheating and the importance of academic integrity.
