While waiting for the results, a new account reaches out first
You’re waiting for the online course selection results when an unfamiliar account messages you, offering to tell you the outcome first.
Scenes
- An unfamiliar account says it can tell me the results — You’re waiting for the online course results when an unfamiliar account messages you first. You find yourself replying before checking whether it’s official.
- I look at the message before the official announcement — The announcement date is set, but the new message arrives first. So even while checking the official page, you find yourself waiting for the account’s next message.
- They ask for the application screen to check the results — The account asks you to send a screenshot of your application, saying it’s needed to check the results. Waiting for the outcome turns into handing over your personal information.
- The longer you wait, the more important it is to check the source first — While waiting, it’s easy to mistake an unfamiliar message for official guidance. So before replying, save the account name, time sent, and original message.
- Don’t delete it—save what came before and after the contact — Today, try saving the message and account screen together. Even if a reply is delayed, you can check again what arrived first.
- The fact that the contact came before the results remains — Even after the official announcement, the contact from that account doesn’t disappear. Even if it keeps coming, you can compare the original record with the official notice side by side.
