Is Aopeng's refund a fraud?

Recently, under the guise of Beijing Open Distance Education Center Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Open Education"), some lawless elements pretended to be open education staff, forged various certificates and official seals, spread false information, and helped students to refund tuition fees through online platforms, short messages, WeChat, telephone calls, QQ groups, etc., so as to allow students to join QQ groups, defraud students of personal information and money, and commit fraud.

Aopeng Education solemnly declares that

1. This incident is purely a fraud by criminals. We once again remind students to beware of the fraud trap of "refunding fees".

2. With a high sense of political responsibility and social responsibility, Ao Peng Education implements the spirit of the document of the Ministry of Education, insists on everything for students, and provides learning support services for students. If students encounter any problems in the learning process, please contact us through official website or customer service telephone in time.
