Below is the message which I just sent to our Chennai .Net User Group (CNUG) to stop dumps... Please let us say "NO" to dumps, if we do not do so now, eventually being MCP, MCAD or MCSD will mean nothing to IT industry...
Dear All,
We have been getting a lots of requests from the group to make the group un-moderated... There are delays sometimes from our side to approve the messages and I know how desperately we want our messages to appear on the board as soon as they are sent... We had been observing the message pattern since some days and found that leaving the group un-moderated for a while should not harm... So since last one week we kept the CNUG message boards un-moderated...
We do go through the messages most of the time for their contents even when the moderation is not there and just yesterday we again got a mail asking for dumps for MCP paper... This is not to highlight someone for asking dumps but to spread a general message... You do not steal a VCR or Music system from the shops then why steal MCP papers... Definitely such easy option seems tempting but these are the options which destroy the whole system... Do know that if you are aware about the dumps then so are the people in front of whom you are going to flaunt your MCP certificates... Eventually, the dumps will take away all the glory of being a MCP and it is us who can consciously prevent this from happening...
Friends, I have myself been on this wonderful MS Learning team which creates these MCP papers and it takes more than 6 months for more than 20 people to create a single paper... All the questions are verified by writing code... Each question earns it place into the paper after being reviewed by so many experts... Everyone tries to do their best so that a professional certified by Microsoft really means "an expert" to the IT world... You too should be one of them but rightfully, proudly, in a way that someone can rely on you when it comes to that subject... Please do realize, that it hurts when efforts of those individuals, who have struggled to bring the paper in front of you are compromised... Mark my words - "A person clearing one MCP paper without dumps would probably be much more confident, proud and infact happier than a person being MCAD or MCSD with dumps"...
Do remember that your post goes to approx 3500 other members of our CNUG family, who feel bad about such improper demands... Many in the groups are preparing for MCP papers; such posts bring their morale down... Our group is formed for benevolent cause... We are here to help each other learn, solve each other's queries, train each other, learn from each other's experiences and create a vibrant technical community that we can be proud of and others can take example from...
We do not want to ban our own members from the group so please do not force us do that.... Together let's Say "No" to Dumps...
Thanks for understanding...
warm wishes,

See vishal. Everything you mentioned, everyone knows it should not be done. That part of ur idea is not new. Thing is situations make / force people to do such things. People in a certain lifestyle n situations have those 'rightful' options, but when you're battling $20,000 debt for masters degree (cause tution fees are high), and to get a job (cause you did bachelors or masters in electrical engg, n then realized that's not a worthwhile option in today's world), and u have impending marraige plans with people who have no connection to the 'realities' of the world n u love them but need to hide from them, and then these certis, boost your resume n get you a job, and you do the job better than a lot others, and everyone's happy. there is no option B or C. Companies spend so much money for the 3 day or 7 day courses of microsoft for each employee, and a normal real person can never afford to take those courses and sit and learn peacefully. they have to learn themselves from downloaded video tutorials for free, and other friends who help out, and move on. so yeah, i too hope certis hold validity, but atleast some efforts n knowledge is needed to use the dumps and all that. In hydrabad, it's a common practise to pay 5000 ruppees to other person who goes and appears for the exam for you. instead of that, dumps and self-appearing is atleast something better.
The other point that Vishal mentioned is that someone who passes the exams honestly will do much better at their future job than someone who cheats. No one who passes with the aid of dumps will "do the job better than a lot others".
