WAEC Result Checker Scams: Fake Websites and Fake Checker PINs

Short answer: check BECE and WASSCE results only on WAEC's official portal, with a results checker card bought from an authorised source. WAEC has warned candidates to be wary of websites announcing the release of results and to use only its approved channels.

Common result checker scams

• Fake results websites that copy WAEC's look and ask for your index number and payment.
• Fake or used checker PINs sold by individuals on WhatsApp and Facebook.
• "Early results" offers before WAEC has released anything.
• Agents who ask for your index number and money to "check for you", then sell your details.

How to check your results safely

1. Type WAEC's official address yourself rather than clicking a shared link.
2. Buy checker cards only from authorised sellers.
3. Never pay anyone who claims to have results before the official release.
4. Keep your index number and checker PIN private.
