Here’s another unfortunate story of a customer who didn’t want to "risk losing their deposit" and chose a dubious online test cheating vendor, and "found out" about the consequences the hard way.
Although their money was secure with some escrow service, they got caught and were banned from taking the GMAT for 3 years.
This isn't the first time we've heard about someone being tempted by the idea of not paying until they see their scores, only to end up paying a heavy price.
Full story
Last year, a customer approached us for GMAT services. After we said that we don't offer escrow services on Taobao, they stopped talking to us. It was evident they didn't want to risk paying the deposit upfront.
A few months later, they got back in touch, saying that they had been banned from taking the GMAT for cheating.
Upon further inquiry, we learned that they had resorted to a Taobao vendor for assistance in cheating on their online GMAT exam and got caught. The customer described the Taobao vendor as a "dumbfuck who used some pinhole camera" to cheat on the GMAT.
They were hit with a 3-year ban from taking the GMAT, which is the most severe punishment we've ever seen!
The email from GMAC stated that the customer “accessed an unauthorized item” during their exam:
At GMAC, we place a lot of value on the fairness and integrity of GMATT™ test results. In our analysis of your testing experience from 2023-I], we noticed you accessed an authorized item during your exam which is inconsistent with the GMAT™ terms and conditions as described in the GMATT™ Online Policies and Procedures you agreed to when you registered for the test.
As a result, the score for your GMAT exam (Appointment ID: ()) will be canceled. You will not be permitted to schedule a future GMAT™ exam for three(3) years from the date of your last exam appointment.
"I was stupid." They now regret not using our service, but it was too late!
