Jamb Tries To Curb Fraudulent Activities By Cybercafe Operators

Private Cybercafe operators has been cautioned by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, on Wednesday, against extortion of candidates who are planing to upload their results on the board’s website.

The caution was issued by Dr Fabian Benjamin, the Head of Media of the board, during an interview with NAN in Abuja.

Benjamin, stated that the caution was issued in respect to complaints that has been made by candidates to the board by victims, on fraudulent activities by some private café operators.

He said the candidates complained of high amount of money they were being charged by such operators to upload their WAEC results on JAMB website.

“Not only do they charge them high, they also convince candidates who had already uploaded their results on the site to do same again.

“Candidates who have had their results uploaded at the point of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination registration need not do that again, except for those who registered with awaiting results.

“Those are the ones allowed to upload now on our website.

“This upload should not cost more than N100.

“No cybercafé should charge more than this amount, however, if candidates can locate any of our Computer Based Test Centres, it is free to make the upload there,” Benjamin said.
