The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has warned applicants against individuals posing as authorized “HEC attestation agents” and urged citizens to use only the commission’s official procedures and website for verification of educational documents.
In a public advisory, the HEC said unauthorized individuals in various cities were offering to assist applicants in getting their educational documents attested by the commission. It cautioned applicants to remain vigilant and avoid falling victim to possible fraud and forgery.
The commission advised applicants not to share their personal or educational information with unauthorized individuals, stressing that such information could be misused for fraudulent activities.
