Amman: The Cybercrime Unit at the Criminal Investigation Department is monitoring several fake social media accounts claiming they can obtain or manipulate high school (Tawjihi) students' grades in exchange for money. The Public Security Directorate (PSD) stated on Monday that certain social media accounts use fake links and interfaces designed to mimic official websites, as well as pages and content created or modified using artificial intelligence, to deceive people into believing that students' grades can be obtained or altered.
According to Jordan News Agency, the PSD media department stated that claims promoted by these accounts are completely false and are intended to defraud Jordanians by exploiting the anxiety of students and their families.
It urged Jordanians not to interact with the fake accounts or links, provide any personal or financial information or transfer money to those operating them, warning that doing so could make them victims of online fraud.
It cautioned against clicking on or sharing suspicious links and relying exclusively on official sources and relevant authorities for high school results and related information.
Jordanians were further cautioned against being misled by advertisements or offers promoted by unknown accounts.
The Cybercrime Unit reaffirmed that it is monitoring the accounts and will take legal action against those responsible.
It urged Jordanians to report any suspicious accounts or links and to remain vigilant against attempts to exploit them or their children through such scams.
