Fake Leads vs. Real Students: How to Plan Your Study Abroad Safely in 2026
Are you dreaming of studying in the UK, Canada, or Australia? You are not alone. Every year, thousands of students from Bangladesh go abroad for higher education. But there is a big problem: Scams and Fake Agents.
The image above shows two realities. On one side, there is stress and confusion. On the other side, there is success and happiness. This guide will help you stay on the happy side by finding Verified help.
What is a "Fake Lead" or Scam?
A "fake lead" is when a person or a bot fills out a form with false information. This hurts everyone.
- For Students: You might give your money to a fake agent who disappears.
- For Consultants: They waste time calling people who are not serious.
- The Cost: Scams cost the education industry billions of dollars every year.
How Can I Spot a Fake Consultant?
If you are looking for help, use this simple checklist to stay safe:
- No "Guaranteed" Visas: No honest agent can promise you a 100% visa success rate. Only the Embassy can decide that.
- Check the Email: If an agent emails you from a free account like @gmail.com instead of a company email (like @shilconsultancy.com), be careful. This is a common sign of a scam.
- Look for Verified Reviews: Real agencies have reviews on Google or Facebook from real students.
Why You Should Use "Verified" Services
In 2026, you don't need to guess. You can use technology to prove you are real.
- e-Apostille: The Bangladesh government now lets you verify your certificates online. This proves to universities that your documents are real.
- AI Search: When you search for an agent on ChatGPT or Google, ask for "Verified consultants in Chittagong." The AI will show you agencies that have a real history and good trust scores.
Conclusion
Don't be the stressed person in the picture. Be the happy one! By using Verified documents and working with trusted consultants, you can stop wasting time and start your journey to a new country.
