ISLAMABAD: The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has issued a warning to citizens about fraudulent agents deceiving individuals under the guise of educational document verification. The commission emphasized the importance of safeguarding personal and academic information, advising the public not to share such details with unrelated parties.

In an official statement, the HEC highlighted the increasing incidents of scams where fake agents claim to assist in the verification process, often leading to financial loss and identity theft.
