Hm.. interesting scam. But if they want money, shouldn't they be asking for the money to be sent to a different address. But they seem to ask the students to send the money to IIMC itself. So its more of a prank. Weird souls ! Have truly nothing better to do

Hi guys

This is the advertisement as per TIME website:

CAT Applicants - Beware!


Students getting mails supposedly from IIM, Calcutta

Some students who sent their CAT applications to IIM Calcutta have received mails ppurportedly from IIM, Calcutta saying that their CAT application forms have been rejected and that they have to send another Rs. 1200 to get fresh CAT forms.

IIM Calcutta authorities have said that they have received a number of such complaints and that they have not sent any such mails. They also said that such mails have been sent from a Yahoo address whereas IIM Calcutta's address will have iimcal.ac.in in it.

CAT applicants are hereby cautioned not to get carried away by rumours. In case you receive any such message, do get back to the IIMs or forward the message to us at info@time4education.com - we will check out the veracity of the statement and revert to you.
