To every NEET candidate and parent - please watch this. A few minutes that could save you serious money and stress this week.
Scammers on Telegram were running two rackets targeting you:
1️⃣ Channels demanding ₹14,000 to ₹25,000 - some even ₹10 lakh - claiming they'll send you the re-exam paper. They won't. There is no leaked paper for the re-exam. The money is gone the moment you transfer it. Your admit card and WhatsApp number, if you sent them, become the tools they use to scam the next student.
2️⃣ Fake "proof" videos showing chats from before the exam. The trick: on Telegram, whoever runs a channel can edit any old message AND change what's inside it, while the date on the message stays the same. So a message edited on the 4th can be made to look exactly like it was sent on the 1st.
The full explanation is in the video below — please watch and share with anyone you know who's preparing 👇

The same trick will be tried again after 21st June. Don't fall for it. Don't forward it. Don't pay anyone.
