What happened when "my daughter" sent a text message to buy a degree in Tsinghua?

At about 5 pm on May 23, when he was on duty near the Music Square in Longquanyi District, a woman surnamed Meng in her 40 s asked him the way, claiming to have rushed from Qingyang District of Chengdu to Longquanyi District to find her daughter at the university. He said that when the woman asked for directions, her facial expression was very anxious, as if she had something on her mind.

What happened next alarmed She Hongning. On the afternoon of May 23rd 1, Ms. Meng received a text message calling herself "daughter". Her "daughter" said in the text message that "her mobile phone fell into the water and broke down, so she had something to say about learning and teaching training", and her mobile phone number was displayed as Guangzhou.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the "daughter" sent a short message to Ms. Meng, saying that "the school invited Professor Tsinghua University to teach at the school and wanted to sign up. The tuition fee for two courses needs 19800 yuan. " After Ms. Meng replied, "If you think you can sign up, money is not a problem", "Daughter" sent a text message to Ms. Meng, "Please contact Director Li of our school at 1830 1563452 to reserve a study place for me". The mobile phone number found in the newspaper is from Beijing.

Then, Ms. Meng's "daughter" sent a short message saying that "after graduating from this training, Tsinghua University will issue an education degree certificate, which is equivalent to a national first-class undergraduate certificate, which is recognized by the state and society, and employment can also be given priority", and sent Ms. Meng a bank card number called "Ma", claiming to be "the designated payment number of the school".

As Ms. Meng had to go to her daughter's school that day, when she planned to visit her daughter before paying the fee, the "daughter" replied that she would "go to the bank to pay the tuition fee first, for fear that there would not be enough time later, and I will come to you again when I have time".

In desperation, Ms. Meng went to the bank at 5: 29 pm on May 23 and transferred 7,000 yuan to the account mentioned in the "daughter" text message. Originally, she thought she could see her daughter, but she received a short message from her "daughter", saying that "there are many things at school that cannot be separated. You go back to collect the money first and pay the rest tomorrow morning. "

At 5: 29 pm on May 23, Ms. Meng went to the bank to transfer 7000 yuan to the account mentioned in the "daughter" text message.

She Hongning said that because Ms. Meng didn't know which school her daughter was in and her daughter's phone couldn't get through, she had to ask for directions along the way. When he saw this message, he suspected that it was a fraudulent message. First, because the mobile phone number belongs to Guangzhou, it is judged as communication fraud through the above short message language; Secondly, contrary to the actual law, it is impossible to get a degree certificate from Tsinghua University at any cost.

She Hongning immediately called Chengdu Rural Commercial Bank to stop the payment and cancel the transfer, and successfully intercepted the 7,000 yuan paid by Ms. Meng.

Later, Ms. Meng contacted her daughter by phone. My daughter said on the phone that her phone was not broken, and told Ms. Meng to be careful in the future and never be deceived.

She Hongning said that after learning that her daughter and funds were safe, Ms. Meng was so excited that she burst into tears.
