The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has flagged a post purporting to outline how to check the recently released Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results via the SMS service.

The notice flagged by KNEC fed misleading information to candidates, parents, and other interested parties by urging them to send their examination details to 20076 where, allegedly, standard SMS charges would apply.

Students were even encouraged to call the toll-free KNEC lines further enticing the masses to its legitimacy.

The notice ended with a declaration that all examination results slips would only be accessed at the examination centers where the candidates sat for their examinations.
