A message I got in my GMATClub inbox:

Hello,

I need your help! I have no time studying for the GMAT and I would score very poor on the verbal side anyway. I would offer you $ 10.000 if you take the GMAT for me. I can provide you with an excellent passport of myself. All I would need is a picture of you could make easy $ 10.000!

get in contact with me!

I need your help!
M

I've heard a lot of internationals like to cheat, but this is ridiculous! It's kind of tempting to must play along and screw with the guy :P

Admin, please send me a PM or email and I will give up this loser's GMATClub handle.

With how tight security is at the test center, I doubt people would actually get away with it.

here in toronto, I was asked for passport, the lady asked me to re-sign three times since I can never replicate a signature :oops:

I was then fingerprinted several times, to enter the test center I was re-fingerprinted. There was more security than Canadian immigration. I am not sure how somebody could get away with this .. but dont know what the security measures are at other places.

Don't think it can be done with the security they have. But I must admit it's fun to see jokers like this once in a while. :-D

I got one of these too. I thought of replying and making some fun...like you have been reported to FBI or something...but dint have time to waste. I was thinking of sending this to administrators...but not sure how they can prevent such PMs when anybody can register with temp email accounts.
