  □ reporter Zhang Wei

  Various types of fraud involving college entrance examinations are in a period of high incidence.

  After each year's college entrance examination, when the work of filling in volunteers and college admissions began, various fancy fraudulent tactics also appeared on the scene, targeting the majority of candidates and parents. Attractive "olive branches" such as "spending money in prestigious schools", "internal indicators", and "sending scholarships in advance" have been thrown in one after another, making it hard to refuse. Especially in recent years, with the development of technology, the fraud methods of criminals have also begun to be constantly renovated. Some enrollment frauds even put on the cloak of information, which makes people difficult to prevent.

  Recently, the education and public security departments have issued special warnings to remind candidates and parents to be more vigilant, strengthen awareness of prevention, beware of recruitment traps, and beware of being deceived.

Claiming to spend money to record pure scammers

Get information through formal channels

  The 2020 college entrance examination ended on July 10, and scores have been announced across the country in these two days.

  This is a moment of "joy and sadness". Those students and their parents who failed the exam are undoubtedly experiencing suffering. While wandering in the entanglement of whether or not to repeat, if someone tells you: It can be cleared for you through internal relationships, as long as you spend a little money, you can't wait to catch this "surprise joy"?

  Ms. Wu encountered such a situation. When her son took the college entrance examination in 2017, his grades were not satisfactory and he could barely reach the score of three books. The family unanimously decided to repeat the course for another year. As a result, in the second year, Ms. Wu's son still played unstable. Ms. Wu is worried that her child will not be able to go to the ideal school for the college entrance examination in the second year. At this moment, Ms. Wu received a call from the admissions office of a certain college, saying that she could arrange in advance for Ms. Wu's son to obtain the qualification for admission to her school, but she needed to pay a deposit of 30,000 yuan. Faced with the temptation to attend a second school and the high deposit, Ms. Wu hesitated for a long time. When Ms. Wu decided to contact the other party for payment, she found that the phone of the "person in charge" had been shut down.

  Ms. Wu “regrets” that she missed it, but what she missed was a fraud, not a real opportunity to go to college. It turned out that after the criminals had stolen the candidates’ information, they used the fluke of candidates and their parents’ low scores and high scores to send fraudulent text messages through the “pseudo base station” that allowed early admission with low scores, or under the guise of “internal relations” by the admissions agency. Fraud on the grounds of spending money on admission.

  It is understood that in the past, scams such as "internal enrollment", "special indicators" and "re-enrollment" often appeared after the end of the college entrance examination. Criminals lied to the fact that a certain university has not recruited a full number of places. By spending money to "run", candidates can obtain special quotas or make up for enrollment. In recent years, scammers have used various excuses to ask parents to pay to reserve places before the exam.

  In this regard, the education and public security departments reminded: The college entrance examination admission system has a strict national unified authentication encryption system and supervision mechanism. The so-called spending money to go to a good university and a good major, and being able to go to university without enough scores are all tricks. Candidates and parents should understand and confirm exam admission policies and information from formal channels, keep a clear head at all times, and carefully screen out notifications from unknown sources, and don't trust them. Once you find that you have been cheated, call the police in time.

  Don't believe in adding points to the wallet

  Intranet scoring hackers cannot invade

  In today's high-tech development, more criminals use "black technology" to lure candidates and parents to change the fate of candidates by changing points.

  This is what Xiao Shao encountered. After the 2019 college entrance examination results were announced, Xiao Shao was not satisfied with his results. At this time, a mysterious "hacker" fell from the sky and told Xiao Shao as a "savior" that he was a highly skilled " Hackers can modify his college entrance examination scores for Xiao Shao. Xiao Shao was very skeptical at first, but when the "hacker" declared that he had hacked into the score system and accurately stated Xiao Shao's name, school, grades and other information, Xiao Shao began to believe in the mysterious "hacker" and passed A deposit of 1,000 yuan is paid by bank transfer. The next day, the "hacker" contacted Xiao Shao, saying that the grades had been changed, but the personal information could not be updated in time, and asked Xiao Shao to pay 500 yuan, and the impatient Xiao Shao transferred another 500 yuan. But after that, the magical "hacker" was completely lost.

  In fact, the situation Xiao Shao encountered was purely a scam. Criminals take advantage of the examinee’s and parents’ desire to pass the exam by spreading fraud information such as “Failed exams, internal operations”, “Internal bonus points”, “Pass wallet passed” and other fraudulent information, claiming that they can change points through technical means to defraud the victim to transfer money .

  Education and public security departments remind: this kind of college entrance examination online scoring uses internal network scoring, there is no possibility of external "hacking" intrusion. The online scoring subjects are first scanned in a confidential place, and then sent to the relevant scoring points through a dedicated line, and the whole process is supervised with "no dead ends". There is nothing for nothing in the world. Don't believe that "hackers" change into scams.

  Beware of so-called experts misleading money

  All formal consultation activities are free

  In recent years, voluntary services such as "big data predicting admission probability" and "one-to-one consultation with experts" for college entrance examination have become popular. Some training institutions, consulting companies, individuals, etc. fraudulently use the name of education departments, admissions institutions or universities to launch college entrance examination volunteers to fill in on-site consultation and counseling activities, or imitate official websites to carry out online consultation and counseling, known as expert guidance, and enrollment. Candidates and parents charge high consulting fees, tutoring fees, big data platform usage fees, etc., causing financial losses to candidates and parents, and more importantly, they may be misled and lose normal admission opportunities.

  Xiao Chen is the victim of such incidents. In July 2019, Xiao Chen downloaded a college entrance examination volunteer service app provided by a certain company, and spent 599 yuan to purchase the exclusive membership voluntary registration service. After 10 days, he found that some of the score data given by the system was different from the official data, so he contacted customer service. The customer service responded that it could not be processed and the personal data was modified. After that, Xiao Chen contacted customer service many times, but was unable to handle it.

  Education department reminds: This kind of incident tells candidates and parents that to participate in voluntary reporting and guidance consultation activities, you must recognize the host organization. Be vigilant for fee-charging voluntary reporting and consulting activities organized by various consulting agencies in the society. Some apps, websites or consulting agencies that charge for high-priced services have problems such as irregularities and security risks.

  Special reminder is that the on-site or online consultation activities held by local admissions and examination institutions and admissions colleges and universities are free. Look for their official websites. College entrance examination policies and information must be published by provincial admissions and examination institutions. Don't trust the information learned through other informal channels to avoid being deceived. At the same time, keep in mind the filling time of each batch of volunteers and soliciting volunteers, and fill in the volunteers in strict accordance with the requirements and procedures within the specified time to avoid missing or wrong filling, and don't miss the filling time. It is necessary to keep the password for filling in your own volunteers, and do not disclose it to outsiders to prevent others from tampering with your volunteers.

  Pheasant University fakes educational qualifications

  Distinguish the authenticity and don't be deceived

  As candidates continue to receive college entrance examination results, choosing a university becomes the most important thing in the next stage.

  At this special time node, various "pheasant universities" have also entered an active period. "Pheasant University" is also called "fake university" and "learning shop". Its purpose is to make profits. It usually uses names that are easily confused with well-known universities and colleges, recruits students in a confusing way, and issues diplomas randomly. These schools are all fake universities that are not qualified for admissions, do not have the qualifications for running a school, are suspected of forging and selling false diplomas and certificates, suspected of illegal admissions or online fraud. Candidates and parents may get into them if they are not careful. Candidates with unsatisfactory test scores should be discerned more carefully.

  After the college entrance examination in 2018, some candidates reported that a website named "Wuhan University of Economics and Trade" was highly similar to the website of "Hebei University of Economics and Business". From web design, school badge, campus landscape photos to school leaders' introduction, it almost completely copied the official website of Hebei University of Economics and Trade. Content. According to the website, the school began preparations in the second half of 1992 and was approved by the Hubei Provincial People's Government on June 14, 1993.

  In response, the Hebei Provincial Cyberspace Administration of China conducted an investigation into the fake official website of Hebei University of Economics and Business by "Wuhan University of Economics and Business (domain name: whjmd.com)". After verifying with the Hubei Provincial Department of Education, there is no "Wuhan University of Economics and Trade" among the 168 regular colleges and universities in Hubei. The school is a "Pheasant University" and the website is illegal. The Cyberspace Administration of Hebei Province, in conjunction with public security, education and other departments, conducted further investigations on the website and related personnel involved, and shut down the website according to law.

  It is worth noting that usually "Pheasant University" will use various tricks such as false propaganda, fake enrollment qualifications, fake enrollment promotional materials, falsely claim that the state recognizes academic qualifications and other tricks to lure candidates and their parents to apply for the exam.

  The education department reminds: In 2020, the list of 3005 colleges and universities in the country with the qualifications for college entrance examination has been published on the official website of the Ministry of Education. Candidates and parents can check and verify by logging on the official website of the Ministry of Education. Candidates and parents must be aware of the regular colleges and universities when volunteering to fill in and do not be deceived.

  In addition, there are frauds such as false claims to help apply for grants, college entrance examination subsidies, and forged admission notices. For example, criminals can apply for college bursaries for candidates and ask parents to pretend to be college staff or education department staff by taking advantage of the financial difficulties of candidates at home and the need to pay tuition through grants. Pay the registration fee first. As a result, the candidates and their parents realized that there was no such thing after sending money to each other. In this regard, the police reminded that candidates and parents must take the initiative to contact the local education department or school for verification when they receive such calls and information from staff who claim to be colleges, education, and finance staff.

  In the fake admission notice fraud, criminals impersonate college admissions officers and send fake admission notices to candidates, allowing them to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees into a designated bank account in order to defraud money. To this end, candidates and parents must use the official website certification link or the official website issued by the school and the education department when logging on to the school and the education department website. When transferring money, they must verify the authenticity of the account through multiple channels.
