The Post has uncovered an online platform facilitating the sale of counterfeit student cards for prominent Hong Kong universities. At least three shops on Pinduoduo, a popular mainland Chinese e-commerce platform, are selling the cards for approximately 40 to 70 yuan each. Legal experts are concerned about the potential consequences for both buyers and sellers, as these cards violate university regulations and could be considered academic dishonesty. The practice raises questions about intellectual property rights and potential fraud within the academic sector.
