Signed One-year contract, 80,000 yuan in advance. "Since October last year, a very attractive advertisement has been repeatedly broadcast on many satellite TV stations across the country, attracting many viewers to sign up. However, later, the applicants discovered that they had been deceived.

“According to our preliminary statistics, in less than half a year, more than 300 young people from 18 provinces (autonomous regions) and cities were defrauded, and the amount involved amounted to more than 1.8 million yuan.” Kaifeng County, Henan Province Liu Wenshan, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, hates scammers deeply and feels sorry for the young people who were deceived.

How did so many young people get deceived, and how did the fraud gang set up the scam? A reporter from China Youth Daily conducted an investigation.

“I think, after all, it is an advertisement broadcast by provincial satellite TV, it cannot be fake.”

At 21:00 on March 23, a reporter from Xunke County, Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province Ding Haifeng was interviewed by reporters and detailed his experience of being deceived.

Ding Haifeng, 37, used to drive goods at home, earning more than 5,000 yuan a month. On February 13, Ding Haifeng was lying in bed taking a morning break when an advertisement played on a provincial satellite TV channel caught his attention.

“Urgent, urgent, entrusted by Kuntai Expressway, Fujian Reclamation Project and other employment units, Kaifeng Science and Technology Industrial School urgently recruits 680 excavator drivers. After 30 days of intensive training, they will be uniformly arranged to work with monthly salary. 10,000 yuan, sign a one-year contract, and pay 80,000 yuan in advance. Monthly wages will be settled on the 5th, and overtime pay will be settled on the same day. If you do not receive wages after taking up the job, the construction party will be responsible for all losses during the training period, including books, food and accommodation. Free, you can apply for a driver's license for special industry excavators and loaders for free. You only need to pay 2,800 yuan for fuel and machine wear and tear. Applicants from other places will be reimbursed for their round-trip travel expenses. Due to the urgent need for labor, students who register before February 25 will be subsidized for each project. The deposit is 10,000 yuan, and the registration phone number is..." Ding Haifeng said that the advertisement is replayed every more than an hour, with rows of excavators working intensively on large construction sites in the background.

“Doing this job is much better than driving at home.” After watching the advertisement, Ding Haifeng quickly took out his mobile phone and called the registration hotline for consultation. “The person on the phone assured me that the school will strictly follow the advertisement. Promise. I thought, after all, it was an advertisement broadcast by a provincial satellite TV station, so it couldn’t be fake. Besides, I went early, and there was a 10,000 yuan project subsidy.” Ding Haifeng said that he took 4,000 yuan and rushed to Kaifeng. city.

At about 6 o'clock on February 15, Ding Haifeng got off the train at Kaifeng Railway Station. Following the school's text message prompts, he quickly arrived at an office at Kaifeng Science and Technology Industrial School. "A person who claimed to be Principal Pang asked me to pay 2,800 yuan for fuel and machine wear and tear, and an additional 100 yuan for bedding. He gave me a receipt stamped Henan Baodi Industrial Co., Ltd. Kaifeng Science and Technology Industry The official seal of the school. After paying the fee, the van took me to the Kaifeng County Science and Technology Industrial School and sent me to the dormitory. In the next three days, the school’s coach Li Yong said that the class would not start until there were 100 people registered. We are waiting in the dormitory. The school provides meals and we eat pickles and radishes every day.”

Kaifeng City is a provincial city in Henan Province, and Kaifeng County is a county in Kaifeng City. Seeing that there is a Kaifeng City Science and Technology Industrial School and a Kaifeng County Science and Technology Industrial School in the local area, Ding Haifeng once asked the school about the relationship between the two. The school told him that the county school was a teaching site for the city school. The school also showed him three documents stamped with the seals of the Kaifeng Municipal Education Bureau, the Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and the Kaifeng Municipal Science and Technology Industrial School.

The school also signed a training and employment contract with him. The school promised to ensure that students will achieve independent operation skills upon graduation, and will recommend students who pass the assessment and meet the requirements of the employer for employment, with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. The contract is stamped with the seal of Kaifeng Science and Technology Industrial School.

Continuous inducement to make students pay multiple times

"Classes started on the morning of February 19th." Ding Haifeng said, "The school arranges 4 classes in the morning and 4 classes in the afternoon every day , one class lasts 40 minutes. During class, Coach Li or one of the students will copy the excavator tutorial on the blackboard, and the other students will copy below."

This continued until February 24. At about 17:00 that day, the school rented a car to move the tables, chairs, benches and students' luggage to a two-story rough house in Pitun Village, Dongjiao Township, Shunhe Hui District, Kaifeng City. The house had just been built, and even the door was not installed, so the students had to huddle together to make the floor.

Starting from February 25, students will study theory in the morning and go to a training ground opposite the Yellow River River Affairs Bureau for practical training in the afternoon. However, there are only 3 excavators for 83 trainees to operate. “Each person can’t even take a turn for 10 minutes a day.”

”On March 1, Principal Pang said that he would handle special industry excavation for all students. If you don't apply for a driver's license for a machine or loader, you won't be able to get a job. Even if you are hired, you will be a temporary worker and you won't get a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. Moreover, the total cost of applying for the license is 5,100 yuan. Now the school has secured 1,500 yuan for each student. If the state subsidy is delayed for another three days, the opportunity will be missed," Ding Haifeng said.
