Beware of These Common MBBS Abroad Scams
⇒ False Consultants: There are other agents who make promises of admission, yet they have no official association with the real universities. They tend to give counterfeit admission letters or require advance money without the required documents.​
⇒ Unapproved Universities: There are also non-approved universities, where agents can offer a recommendation, but they are not recognized by official organizations, including the NMC (National Medical Commission) or the WHO, and therefore their degree will not be accepted in India or other countries.​
⇒ False or Exorbitant Fees: In most cases, the scammers can attract students with unrealistically low fees, and later charge additional fees on other items such as hostel, food, or even simple paperwork.​
⇒ Document Fraud: The counterfeited documents can be used by the fake consultants in visa or admission procedures and your future and legal status in a foreign country is at risk.​
⇒ Pressure Tactics: Scammers apply the fear of the last few seats or expiring discounts to compel the students into quick making of decisions without due diligence.​
Proven Tips to Stay Safe During MBBS Abroad Applications
⇒ Check the Consultant Qualifications: Never hire a consultant who has not been registered, has no physical address, and lastly has negative reviews about students. Exceptional education advisors are not afraid of displaying their credentials.​
⇒ Research University Status: Not only does the university get recognized by both the NMC and WHO by official lists, but it also does not depend on reports by agents. Get actual feedback by asking the current students.​
⇒ Inquire about Original Communication: Do not receive admission letters and confirmations through WhatsApp solely. Never accept unofficial documents submitted on university letterhead.​
⇒ Request a Stamped and Differentiated Fee Form: Request a breakdown of all costs to be stamped and demarcated. Get the inclusions clear. All charges that are either too low or too high are red flags.​
⇒ Protect Your Documents: You should not share any sensitive personal information or important documents (such as a scan of a passport or mark sheets) with an authorized consultant or send them to the university.​
⇒ Do It Your Way: You should not be in a hurry. Independently research, consult online forums, and consult former students when making a commitment.​
