The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board ( JAMB ) has drawn the attention of candidates for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to fake past question papers in circulation.

The Board said the fake past questions in circulation in CD are intended to defraud unsuspecting candidates.

The agencyโ€™s Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, gave the warning in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja.

The statement reads: โ€œThe fake past questions in CD Rom titled: โ€˜JAMB PRO CBT practice software for UTMEโ€™ was purported to have emanated from JAMB in other to give credence to the products market and perpetuate their nefarious activities.

โ€œThe Joint Admissions and Matriculation Boards wish to dissociate itself from the production and sale of the fake CD and warned the public to be vigilant and avoid being defrauded.โ€

Dr. Benjamin said the board had not authorized anybody or group to do so on its behalf.

According to him, preliminary investigation by the Board showed that the past questions in circulation are fake and had no semblance to JAMB question papers both in context, content and forms.

He added: โ€œThe Board as a responsible and responsive organization would not be part of any ploy to defraud innocent candidate and has put machinery in motion for any of her outlets and service providers not be used as channel of exploitation or distribution of such fake items.

โ€œFollowing the unfortunate development, the Board has directed all its CBT centres to be wary of this CD in circulation in other not to be used as a channel to market this product.

โ€œThe Board will continue to ensure that candidates applying for its examination are not misled. Some of these questions in the past have led to some brilliant candidates failing the examination because they relied on them.  Please be mindful of these cheats with www.jproonline.com as their website.

โ€œCandidates are therefore advised to study for the examination and channel all enquires to any of the Board offices nationwide for any redress, challenges or information.โ€
