Don't mess with your documents

Just got back from a Discussion Forum.
One of the posters there tells of his sad rejection of his Visa - reason being "Bogus IELTS Results" . 
Needless to say, i was shocked reading that.
I  was always of the opinion that this (IELTS)  was a foolproof system. 
Please be informed there are several rounds of checking, should the Case Officer see the need. 
If they have reason to doubt ANY part of your application re-checking goes in the verification of several documents.

The poster ofcourse was terribly upset. You can avoid this by the following. 
1) Don't mess with your documents - make sure they are original and true.
2) As far as IELTS goes, go to a reputed Test Centre. Do work hard and get the desired results - DO NOT under any circumstances try to look for a shortcut. Its just not worth losing all the money you put in for a Visa Application and the running around for other documents. 
if ever found to be fake - first of all you have NO RIGHT TO APPEAL 
Secondly, you could be black-listed from applying any time soon!
Also , please make sure you sit for the IELTS  "before" you give your application and make sure it is submitted alongside. 
All the Best!
