What scams do you have to know about studying abroad?

With the increasing popularity of studying abroad, there are a large number of students studying in China, the gold content of foreign institutions is relatively high, and the salary of international students in China is also relatively high. Therefore, many people will consult study agents when studying abroad, and the choice of study agents should be clear. What are the scams of study abroad agents? Come and see what I made up for you. Welcome to read!

Six scams of study abroad agents: scam 1: perfunctory school settings.

On the surface of the study agent: "We will choose the most suitable university according to your situation. You are so excellent that you will definitely apply to G5 in the UK!" " "

Truth: "first fool this customer into signing a contract, and then look at the company's cooperation institutions." Which one is not enough, just arrange it. "

Setting up a school is the first step in studying abroad. If not, then the next document is useless no matter how well written. Not to mention IELTS, school interviews and so on. Moreover, the setting plan of the school is often decided when consulting with the study abroad agent before signing the contract. Intermediaries who can study abroad at this stage are basically not familiar with their application conditions and admission to British universities. As soon as they heard that they could apply for G5, they got hot heads and signed the contract.

It must be remembered that all calibration schemes must be supported by data!

Scam 2: file pipeline

On the surface of the study agent: "We will write an eye-catching document based on your experience."

Truth: I don't have time to go to a personal tailor. All paperwork is assembly line. "

Certificates are the key to applying for top universities. British university admissions officers read so many documents every day, which is easy to get tired of aesthetics, so the documents must not be simplified. If you want to avoid document homogenization, you can refer to the original document detection system of Youxue. When their papers are written, they will first be cross-revised internally, and if students need it, they will also polish foreign documents. Finally, they will use the paper submission inspection system of British universities to ensure originality. Not only that, they will spend a lot of time communicating with students before the document, find out the bright spots of students, and write them into the document, which will make people shine.

Scam 3: consultant PUA

On the surface of the study agent: "* * school is not suitable for you, and language performance is very demanding."

Truth: "This must be made clear. If you can't apply, it means that your grades are not good, which has nothing to do with us? "

I saw many students' reactions on the Internet. Consultants often suppress students in various ways, saying that students' grades are not high, their university background is not good, their IELTS scores are not good, and they cannot apply for British schools without internships and scientific research. Finally, I recommend some poor schools in a perfunctory way to ensure the success rate of my application. If this happens, the advice I can give is: "Run! ! ! "

In fact, there is no need to question the application ability of domestic formal study abroad agencies, but the professionalism of teachers in the same agency is also different, so choosing a study abroad agency should examine whether the study abroad consultants are professional and responsible. I hope you can avoid the above three big scams.

Scam 4, "Pay today, study abroad tomorrow"

In order to attract people to do business, some black intermediaries who study abroad lied that "pay money today and study abroad tomorrow". According to experts from Shaanxi Provincial Service Center for Studying Abroad, it takes a long time to apply for studying abroad, and there are many uncertainties in whether you can get a visa in the end. Consumers should be vigilant if study abroad agencies make similar commitments.

Deception 5: If you do it, you will be charged; if you don't do it, you will not be charged.

Some black intermediaries use the banner of "charge, no charge" and "post-charge" to attract consultants, and then lead people to the charging project after signing the contract. According to experts, the intermediary service for studying abroad generally includes a series of services such as preparing materials, applying for a school, getting an admission notice, handling visas, handling notarization, booking air tickets, guiding before departure, arranging accommodation, picking up the plane and so on. Every service needs a corresponding fee, and there will be no pie in the sky.

Scam 6. Incomplete materials are also acceptable.

In order to attract business, some black intermediaries offered to study abroad for some students with incomplete procedures. Relevant experts pointed out that the behavior of black intermediaries applying for fake materials generally does not inform the applicant. Even if the international students apply successfully through the black intermediary, in the actual process, the destination countries of international students usually sort out the information of international students many times in different periods. Once false information is found, the most direct victim will be the international students themselves.

First, the risk of school closure, because our domestic news is not so well informed, the closure of overseas schools is sudden or hidden, and many of them are due to financial problems. International students must carefully distinguish, especially for weak private schools. In fact, in the early warning of studying abroad, the risk of suspension of classes in overseas schools is concentrated in private institutions such as Australia or Singapore.

Second, diploma fraud. A few years ago, criminals in German, Singaporean and other countries sold forged university diplomas through China electronic network or other means, and many people were fooled. In recent years, this situation has also occurred in Britain and abroad. Diploma fraud is not so much a trap as a temptation, and international students must pay attention to putting learning first.

Third, beware of intermediaries defrauding fees. Everyone must prevent being cheated. When choosing intermediary service for studying abroad, families studying abroad must choose formal and legal service. In case of charge disputes or other disputes, we should keep evidence such as contracts and safeguard our legitimate rights and interests through legal channels.
