CHEATING SCAMS of ServiceNow Certifications

[Snehal13]

It is such a pity that these so many groups are still operational on Telegram and indulged in atrocities as 

1. Selling ServiceNow Exam dumps (screens of real ServiceNow exams) or sharing live exam content.

2. Sale of ServiceNow Exam Voucher(s) sales 

3. Sale of ServiceNow recorded Instructor led training videos

4. Sale of ServiceNow training docs / guides / notes 

6. Proxy people who will attempt exams on your behalf at a tall price.

The administrators of these groups have no say in them, they just ignore it and allow this shit to continue which makes this scam even bigger and uncontrolled.

Telegram channel names -

ServiceNow Professionals

ServiceNow Jobs

ServiceNow Help Desk

ServiceNow Dumps

ServiceNow Co

Most of them change the channel names once in a while to stay relevant to their audience (people whom they trick into buying all the things mentioned above). There is nothing related to learning or help. Its a illegal marketplace of ServiceNow IP being sold in various forms at quick monetary gains..

You can try to join these groups and see for yourself how easy it is to procure exam dumps or exam vouchers or find a proxy who can clear exam on your behalf.

When will strict action be enforced on the miscreants ?

People have been exploiting certs since the day after they rolled out.
No hope of stopping the activity.
Best we can do is shame those who provide and consume their content.

It's not just the people. The exam centres are so shameless that they have started these package concepts where they offer proxy candidates to sit on candidate behalf, offer exam screen content sharing and getting answers, selling vouchers, selling dumps all of these happening on channels, groups etc...Even instructor led videos are recorded and sold as items. This is such a fish market out there.. I had to mask my email id and details due to the constant abuse from the ones at the helm of it.. 

These things can certainly be stopped if ServiceNow has a tighter control on the centres which are the source of leakage of content.  People will follow suit if they are suggested that their employment and certifications are at risk if they are party to such scams.. At present, no sort of action is being done from ServiceNow which is just a gross injustice and disservice to the ones studying honestly..

Being a female professional is truly harder than ever before and when you expose people, they just want to get on you for hell, I was simply stopping the illegalities to keep my work and area of certifications cleaner and equal for all:-(

Hi,

I personally want to thank you for bringing this up (as you've done just a short bit ago in other posts) and I have spoken to my contacts at ServiceNow to ensure this has been highlighted for their review. They are aware, now, and are looking into it. I'm unsure what will come of this, but my hope is that in the end, they will be exposed. They may scam their way to obtain a certification by cheating, paying proxies, doing whatever they can to try and manipulate the system, but in the end, they will be caught either through their employer finding out they have no skill or lied on their resume, etc.

It may take a bit, but eventually, they will be found out, one way or another.

As @Miguel Donayre mentioned, also email all supporting documentation and anything else you have to the certification email address. You bringing this all up at least renewed the conversation in regard to the certification process and the current atmosphere with more certifications being taken at home, remotely, versus at official testing sites. Even some of the testing sites, I suppose, aren't 100% guaranteed.

Different regions seem to have different levels of security for their exams and so ServiceNow will want to evaluate everything as they can.

Employers and their hiring managers need to ensure they are looking at more than just certifications. More than just a conversation as well. I've even seen code interviews have proxies on them where we would ask the candidate to do 'x,y,z' and then on the other end, it's really someone else completing the actions, not the actual candidate. We were able to figure this out through a combination of phone, chat, and other actions we took as we had heard this was a possibility before. So we exposed the individual or "team" and ended the interview. Certs are just enough to get the conversation started, but to me, and how I hire, they aren't everything. With that said, there's nothing I can do about this, but I did at least help echo your findings to appropriate SN staff members to try and help get the word out there.

Thanks!

Will SURELY reply sooner to 'certification@servicenow.com' once the holidays are over. Please allow me time until 3rd January 2022 to consolidate all facts, proofs and source groups where such things are occurring.

Thanks for your patience and support on this critical topic.
