Students of Karachi need to stay alert. The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) has disowned a Karachi board fake website that was cheating students by promising to change their examination results for money. The board says it has nothing to do with the site and has asked the cybercrime authorities to act. If someone contacts you with an offer to “pass” a failed paper, it is a scam.
What Happened: The Karachi Board Fake Website Scam
A website pretending to be the official page of the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi started appearing in Google search results. It directed visitors to a fake WhatsApp helpline. People on that helpline, including women posing as board employees, told students that they could:
- Change examination results.
- Clear failed papers.
- Increase marks in any subject.
The price was around Rs. 10,000 per subject, transferred into private bank accounts. Victims were promised that results would be “updated” within 24 hours of payment. Reports say the scammers collected millions of rupees before the site was taken down under the excuse of “maintenance”.

BIEK Warning to Students and Parents
In its BIEK warning, the board’s chairman, Faqir Muhammad Lakho, clearly said the board has no link with the website or the WhatsApp numbers. The board also said it had informed the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency several times and sent a formal letter requesting action against the people behind the fraud.
The message is simple: no official can change your result for money. Any result change scam is illegal, and paying for it can also get you into trouble.

How to Spot a Fake Board Website
| Sign | Real Board | Fake Site |
|---|---|---|
| Asks for money to change result | Never | Yes |
| Uses WhatsApp for “result services” | No | Yes |
| Asks for transfer to personal account | Never | Yes |
| Official fee for rechecking | Through official challan only | Random amounts |
Always check the web address carefully. Fake sites often use slightly changed spellings or extra words. Bookmark the official site and use only that.

Legal Ways to Challenge Your Marks
If you think your marks are wrong, the board offers a legal rechecking or scrutiny process. You apply through the official form within the given deadline, pay the prescribed fee by bank challan, and the board re-examines the totals and unmarked questions. Results of rechecking are published officially. You can also appear in supplementary exams to improve or clear a failed paper.

How to File an NCCIA Complaint
If you or someone you know was cheated by the Karachi board fake website, file an NCCIA complaint quickly:
- Save screenshots of chats, the website address and payment receipts.
- Note the bank account numbers and WhatsApp numbers used.
- File the complaint on the NCCIA (formerly FIA Cyber Crime) online portal or visit its office.
- Inform your bank and the board too.
Advice for Teachers and Schools
Teachers and college staff should warn their students in class and on parent groups. A short message today can save a family thousands of rupees. Share only links from the official BIEK website.
Why Students Fall for Such Scams
Every year thousands of students fail one or two papers by a few marks. Fear of losing a year, pressure from family and the hope of a quick solution make them easy targets. Scammers know this and act fast after results are announced. They use official-looking logos, board names and even fake “notification numbers” to look real. Some also buy online ads so that their site appears at the top of search results.
The Karachi board fake website case shows that even a search engine result is not a guarantee. Always type the official address yourself or use the link given in newspapers and official board notices. If a person contacts you first and asks for money, treat it as fraud. The Board of Intermediate Education Karachi has said very clearly that there is no paid shortcut for results, and anyone who promises one is lying.
Message for Parents
Parents should talk to their children openly about results. A failed paper is not the end; supplementary exams and rechecking exist for this reason. Paying a fraudster not only wastes money but can also put the student at legal risk. If you see any result change scam advertisement, report it and warn other parents in your community.
