Real accounts, reviewed before publishing
Two kinds of story, both first-person and both checked by our team: scam stories — how it started, what was promised, what it cost — and student stories from verified students already abroad, showing the help they provide and what they wish they'd known. Every story is mapped to the college, city and country it concerns. Cases marked 📰 From the news are compiled by our team from published reporting, with sources linked — not first-person accounts.

A directory row says "agent X, overcharge". A story says how the WhatsApp group started, what the "university letter" looked like, when the fee changed, and what finally gave it away. That's what makes the next family pause before they transfer money.
Every scam story is either linked to an email-verified, team-reviewed fraud report (when it names someone) or describes the pattern without naming anyone. Every student story comes from a student we've verified — identity, college and live location.
Search the agent, company or website name on the fraud alerts page, read the stories for the country you're considering, and ask a verified student already there. Ten minutes that can save lakhs.
Admission alerts, safety warnings about agents, and honest student stories — no spam.
Leave your details and our team will reach out — no agents, no pressure.
