What scams are there in the school season?

In view of the frequent occurrence of fraud incidents in the school year, the first online fraud information reporting platform linked by the police and the people in China analyzed six common fraud tricks used by fraudsters in the school year on September 6.

the first trick: admission notice, curriculum fraud

criminals pretend to be various online education, adult education, self-study exams, Sino-foreign cooperative education programs and higher education institutions, and issue admission notices to candidates, deceive candidates and parents, recruit students and defraud money. The scammer pretends to be a school and sends fraudulent short messages with phishing links, such as school opening notices and curriculum schedules, and then steals payment information and steals money. In addition, parents will also receive all kinds of short messages about their children's school situation, such as parents' meeting notices, transcripts, physical examination results, and checking family information. Experts on the hunting network platform reminded that when encountering such information, please ask parents to verify with their children, schools and relevant departments, and don't believe it easily.

The second measure: paying tuition fees and granting scholarships.

"Hello! I am the head teacher of the child. Please transfer the tuition fee of this semester to the account of the Agricultural Bank of China: ×××. " Experts pointed out that if you receive such a short message, or receive a phone call claiming to be a staff member of the Education Bureau, you will issue grants to poor students and ask parents to pay the relevant fees and transfer money. Don't blindly believe it, because it is very likely to be fraud! In these cases, parents must contact their children by telephone or other contact methods in time to ensure that the information is true.

the third trick: "freshmen" fraud

In order to get familiar with the campus and adapt to college life as soon as possible, some freshmen will learn about the school by joining QQ group and WeChat group. However, some so-called "college freshmen" are probably the profit-making tools of swindlers. They build groups to attract new students, with the aim of making part-time advertisements in the groups to earn commissions and even defrauding money in various names.

the fourth measure: dealing with mobile phone card fraud

when freshmen enter a school in a different place, they usually buy a local mobile phone card. However, some freshmen will be exposed to information after purchasing calling cards through informal channels. Some students will receive fraudulent phone calls such as subsidizing new students' tuition and living expenses in an attempt to defraud the bank card number and password. Some scammers will claim to be the Ministry of Education or the school to ask students to provide card numbers and passwords in the name of returning tuition fees, so as to further implement fraud.

The fifth trick: part-time job fraud

Some students want to find a part-time job after class. Liars will use mobile phones, the Internet and other media to spread false part-time job advertisements to defraud students of a certain amount of deposits and deposits. The hunting platform reminds that college students should not blindly trust those black intermediaries whose purpose is to cheat money when looking for part-time information. In addition, whether you are looking for a job or working part-time, you should improve your safety awareness. When you meet your employer, you'd better ask your classmates to go with you to avoid being cheated.

the sixth trick: pretending to be a college student to cheat

some lawless elements often cheat freshmen's trust as seniors and sisters on campus, and then cheat by means of no money or urgent need of money. This kind of fraud often chooses the evening or night when the bank outlets are closed, while college students lack social experience, especially freshmen are not familiar with the campus environment and classmates. It is easy to believe the stories made up by scammers, have sympathy, and then be cheated.
