Ahead of the Unified State Exam, an increase in fraudulent schemes targeting schoolchildren has been recorded on the internet. As Sergey Maklakov, head of the department for countering the spread of unreliable information at ANO "Dialog Regions", told TASS, fraudsters use a two-stage deception: first, they offer "personal selection of keys" to control measuring materials (KIM) variants, and then extort money for a "guaranteed insurance package" and a video course allegedly from the KIM compilers with quick memorization techniques.
At the same time, phishing sites are being recorded that demand payment for "access to materials" or "accelerated preparation". The classic scheme of selling fake answers leaked online is also in operation.
The scheme relies on schoolchildren's fundamental ignorance of the exam structure: real KIMs are kept classified and do not enter the network until the start of the Unified State Exam. Any offer of "guaranteed answers" for money is a hundred percent deception, built solely on the graduate's fear of the exam and the desire to find an easy path to a high score.
