WAEC has also cautioned candidates to beware of fraudsters who pose as WAEC officials and promise to change their results for them at a fee payable through various means like Mobile Money.
Authorities at WAEC are also assuring the public that steps have been taken this time around to secure their database as such there cannot be a forgery of results, that all forged results can be detected by confirmation and a verification system.
