The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST) has issued a public warning regarding a fraudulent online scheme targeting students. The scam involves a fake notice inviting students to apply for financial aid to purchase laptops under the non-existent ‘Students Laptop Scheme 2025.’ The Ministry clarified that it has no such program and emphasized that all official announcements and application processes are communicated exclusively through its official channels, including its website and social media pages. MoEST urged students and the public to remain vigilant, advising them not to share personal information, documents, or money with unverified sources. The Ministry also instructed recipients of the fraudulent message to disregard it entirely. This alert comes as part of ongoing efforts to protect students from online scams and ensure the integrity of official communication channels.
