In the latest post by UPMSP on X, UP board has warned the students and their parents of being aware of fraud calls. As UP board is all set to announce the result, they have observed that some cyber criminals are targeting students who have given board exams and asking them for money with a promise of increasing their marks in the board result or helping them in passing the 10th and 12th board exams.
