Bihar Police Warns TRE-3 Candidates Against Fraudster Scams

The Bihar Police issued a warning to candidates of the Teachers Recruitment Exam (TRE-3) about fraudsters promising to increase their marks. The TRE-3 exam was conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) with around 6 lakh aspirants. Candidates are advised to report any suspicious approaches immediately.

The Bihar Police issued an advisory on Thursday cautioning candidates of the Teachers Recruitment Exam (TRE-3) to stay alert against fraudsters who promise to increase marks.

Last month, the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) conducted the TRE-3 exam, where around 6 lakh aspirants participated. Initially slated for March, the examinations were postponed due to a question paper leak.

''The public is advised not to fall prey to misinformation and fraud calls by cyber fraudsters luring them to increase marks and pass candidates in the TRE-3 exam. It has come to notice that certain unscrupulous individuals, entities, and agencies are approaching aspirants and their parents, claiming they can clear the exam by paying a certain amount,'' said a statement from the Bihar Police's Economic Offences Unit.

''We advise people to avoid falling prey to such deceitful practices. Those found guilty of engaging in such activities will face severe consequences, including legal actions,'' it added.

If approached, candidates are urged to report the incident immediately to spcyber-bih@gov.in and 8544428404.

In connection with the March paper leak, police have already made several arrests.
