Delhi University’s SOL warns students against falling for ‘Fraudulent Calls’ asking money

Delhi University’s School of Open Learning (SOL) on Thursday has cautioned the students against falling for ”fraudulent calls” for demanding money to correct the errors in assignments that are submitted for evaluation.

According to an official from SOL, they had received a complaint from an English (Honours) student who said that she had received a call demanding Rs 100 for correcting errors in her assignment. She felt that there is something wrong and she questioned the caller on the errors. The caller told her that she had written her father’s name was wrong in her assignment but she said that one doesn’t have to write their father’s name on it. She informed SOL about the incident, the official said, by adding that they will also approach the police in this regard. SOL issued a notice by cautioning students in this regard.

“It has been brought to the notice of the School of Open Learning that some fraudsters have been approaching the students on behalf of SOL, making fraudulent claims and asking for personal details and money to correct errors relating to the Assignment Based Evaluation (ABE).
