Safety
Anti-Scam and Document Safety
How students and parents can protect documents, payments, and application decisions when applying to universities in Georgia.
Warning Signs
Guaranteed outcomes
Be careful with claims such as guaranteed admission, guaranteed visa, 100 percent success, or automatic recognition abroad.
Unclear payment requests
Avoid payment requests without a clear invoice, service explanation, university name, refund rule, and receipt process.
Pressure tactics
Do not rush because someone says a seat, visa, or scholarship will disappear immediately without written evidence.
Document Safety Checklist
- Send documents only after you know who is reviewing them.
- Use clear scans, not editable screenshots where possible.
- Do not send passwords, bank card details, or unrelated identity documents.
- Ask why each document is needed before sharing it.
- Keep a record of where and when documents were submitted.
- Use official university sources to verify important claims.
For first contact, an eligibility request should normally collect basic information before asking for full document upload.
Claims to Verify
| Claim | Safer way to evaluate it |
|---|---|
| No IELTS required | Ask which university and program policy applies, and whether another English assessment is used. |
| Globally recognized degree | Check the licensing or recognition authority in the country where you plan to work. |
| Lowest tuition | Compare full annual tuition, first payment, living costs, document fees, and refund conditions. |
| Official partner | Ask for written proof from the university or a public partner listing. |
