Singaporean international students should beware of online scams

I would like to introduce to you that international students in Singapore should pay attention to online fraud. I hope it will be helpful to students studying abroad. If you want to know more about studying abroad, I will give you detailed answers. When studying abroad in Singapore, safety awareness is particularly important. Scammers are pervasive and ubiquitous. A recent piece of news has attracted everyone's attention. A student studying in the United States had his QQ stolen. Criminals used QQ to defraud his parents of more than 350,000 yuan. This has aroused widespread concern among parents of international students. Through the guide to studying in Singapore, I will tell you how to guard against being deceived online.

When you go to Singapore to study, your children are far away from you, and your parents are a bit out of reach. But now there are many ways to communicate. Parents can use QQ, Weibo, WeChat and other commonly used methods to communicate with their children. In addition, children are under pressure when studying and living abroad. Parents should be a good "decompression chamber" for their children so that they can talk. Just talk to your parents. There are many ways to communicate, but if money matters are involved, you must not rely on just one method of communication. Attention should be paid to keeping personal and family private information confidential and reducing the ways for criminals to obtain this information. At the same time, you need to be cautious when chatting online. If someone asks to transfer a large amount of money, be careful to verify the information.

Students abroad should actively communicate with their parents. For example, when it comes to money issues, they can set an agreed model with their parents. Parents should also be cautious when it comes to money issues and not send money to their children just by chatting online.

Based on the Singapore Study Abroad Guide, it can be concluded that while parents entrust the study abroad service center agency, they should also let the agency help them supervise and manage the relevant matters after students leave the country, such as students’ airport pick-up services, student Whether the student has registered at the school and whether the student has paid the tuition on time. Parents can also ask staff of study abroad institutions to regularly inquire about students' performance in school, academic performance, etc. Parents can communicate with their children through institutions that apply for study abroad. If it comes to the problem of their children needing to remit money abroad, parents can also consult with the study abroad agency about their children's situation first. The study abroad agency can promptly evaluate the students' situation in overseas schools. Conduct an investigation.

In addition, some parents are very blind about studying abroad, and even pay for their children's study abroad without asking about the specific details. Some parents are too strong, and their children's ideas and wishes cannot be realized, so they have to resort to deception to achieve it.

Parents should change their thinking, respect their children’s interests and hobbies, and communicate with their children on an equal footing. Studying abroad is a big deal for children and parents. You should not make a hasty decision. You should consult and seek help from professional schools and institutions. Which country, school, and major to study should be suitable for your child's language level, professional level, and hobbies. What kind of schools and majors, etc., all require detailed planning. In this way, children will truly learn what they want to learn without wasting time, and parents will not waste money.

Singapore is an authoritarian country. Since its independence in 1965, Singapore has learned from the United Kingdom and the United States, especially the British education system, in terms of its economy and national education, although its political system is different from that of the United Kingdom and the United States. As a country driven by a knowledge-based economy, Singapore regards education as the key to shaping Singapore's bright future. Singapore implements a bilingual education policy (English/Malay/Chinese). This bilingual policy and an education system that focuses on cultivating innovative spirit enable students to acquire relevant skills and abilities and gain a foothold in an increasingly competitive environment. The advantages of Singaporean graduate students compared to British and American graduate programs are lower tuition fees, orthodox British and American education, and it is relatively easy to stay in Singapore after graduation. Therefore, in recent years, many students from mainland China have begun to try to apply for projects in Singapore.
