"Video production, software programming, teaching package meeting" "Part-time recruitment, internal internship, direct access to famous enterprises"...
A reporter from the "Rules of Law Daily" recently saw in a university campus group that people from time to time publish advertisements for online training and recruitment, involving certificates, skills training, part-time sideline jobs, internships and employment.
Many college students are attracted and consulted by the content of advertisements, but they do not know that many of these advertisements are "bait" placed by criminals, and they will be fooled if they are not careful.
Li Yang (pseudonym), a university graduate from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, fell into the trap of online training.
He saw an advertisement for an online training video on an app, saying, "Teaching will be packaged, and you will become a god after learning."
Li Yang, who originally had the idea of starting a self-media business, was very excited when he saw it. He paid 5,999 yuan for the training fee with a loan. After taking a course, he found that he taught all the knowledge that can be found on the Internet, and the other party did not provide the original promised. single service.
After his request for a refund was rejected, Li Yang embarked on a long road to defend his rights.
There are not a few college students like Li Yang who have been harmed by online training and job advertisements.
In recent years, the number of college graduates in our country has increased year by year, and this year has exceeded 10 million for the first time. The severe employment situation has made many college students hope that they can learn more skills and take more certificates, so as to have more capital for employment.
In this context, online training has become more and more popular among college students, and criminals are also eyeing this "big cake", setting up layers of routines to lure college students to sign up and defraud them for money.
Institutions set up layers of routines
inducement to apply for training loan
In March of this year, Li Yang saw an advertisement published by an agency called "Kandian Video" in an app. The advertisement claimed to "provide courses such as online training video production" and "package teaching package, and become a god after learning."
Li Yang added the contact information of the person in charge of the institution. The other party introduced all the courses to Li Yang patiently and meticulously, and said that after the training, the institution also provided order dispatching service, and students could make money by taking orders.
The training fee is 5,999 yuan, which makes Li Yang in trouble: he is just a college student who is about to graduate, how can he spend so much money at once?
Knowing this situation, the person in charge introduced the supporting services to Li Yang "intimately": if the training fee cannot be paid in full, he can apply for the "student loan" provided by the institution, and then repay the loan by taking orders after graduation. Not only is it not a problem to repay the loan, but you can also make a lot of money.
So Li Yang downloaded a consumer finance app designated by the other party, applied for a loan, and the training fee of 5,999 yuan was divided into 12 installments to repay.
But when applying for a loan, the reminder sent by the person in charge of the institution made him very puzzled.
The person in charge reminded: "In the application process, choose 'not a student', and choose 'unemployed' as a career. You are here for a part-time job, otherwise it will take a long time to review, so the operation is convenient and quick to accept and pass."
On the loan application interface, when Li Yang uploads a photo of his ID card, fills in his personal information, and clicks the application option, a prompt message pops up: "This loan is only open to the public, students in school, please exit the application process", two options are displayed below the text , respectively "I am a student" and "I am not a student".
Li Yang remembered the "instruction" of the above-mentioned person in charge, selected the "not a student" option and completed the loan processing.
After applying for the loan and paying the money, the person in charge of the institution immediately sent a training video to Li Yang.
A month later, when the training was over, the person in charge of the agency said that he had arranged an order-taking test, and as long as he passed the test, he could take orders and make money to repay the loan.
The content of the test was very simple, and Li Yang passed it successfully, but after that, he did not receive the order sent to him by the agency.
After repeated questioning, the above-mentioned person in charge said: "The organization is only responsible for teaching you video production. Whether you can make money and receive orders is up to you. You need to find the orders yourself, and the organization does not provide orders."
Li Yang sent a screenshot of the person in charge who had promised to dispatch the order to the other party. The other party said that he had not signed the relevant contract and could not provide the order dispatching service, and refused to refund.
After that, Li Yang could no longer contact the person in charge.
Mr. Zhang, who has been engaged in education and training in Tianjin for many years, told reporters that in recent years, many online training institutions have used the guise of training to induce college students to apply for loans in various names such as "training loans" and "student grants". College students are burdened with high debts, and some college students have even experienced violent collections.
"Currently, the quality of online training institutions is uneven, and the teachers are not worthy of their name. Many internal courses are basic knowledge published online. From the beginning of registration to the completion of training, there are traps set up by institutions in every link for college students. Get caught up in it." Mr. Zhang said.
Online recruitment dark pits
You have to pay for job referrals
The reporter's investigation found that in addition to online training, online recruitment is also the hardest hit area for the rights and interests of college students.
Many college graduates lack social experience and are eager to get a job. This kind of mentality is caught by some unscrupulous companies. They publish recruitment information on online platforms under the banner of "recruitment positions" and "internship positions become regulars" to attract students who are about to graduate. of college students sign up.
A number of college graduates interviewed by reporters said that after they signed up on these online platforms, they were required to pay various fees before they started their internships, and they didn’t even know where the company was. on the company.
Gao Su (pseudonym), who is about to graduate from a university in Beijing, submitted several resumes on an online recruitment platform, hoping to find a job he likes.
A third-party company claiming to recruit "XX corporate shopping guides" threw an "olive branch" to her.
Gao Su filled out the registration form according to the request of the other party, and soon received the interview time and place.
Gao Su told reporters that the interview took place in an office building near the north of Beiyuan Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing. A few steps from the elevator was a glass-walled office without a company name. There were four or five employees in the office busy.
Before the interview, Gao Su was uneasy: he had no relevant work experience, and he just wanted to find a job to transition.
Unexpectedly, after the interview, the company's interviewer announced on the spot that she was hired, and she could go back and wait for the shift, but she needed to pay 300 yuan on-site as a staff uniform deposit.
At first, Gao Su was suspicious, but a student next to her who "just finished the interview" showed her a screenshot of her payment and said that she was also here to apply for a shopping guide.
Gao Su paid the deposit in confusion.
Later, Gao Su asked the other party many times when he could go to work, but was postponed by the other party with various remarks.
Gao Su felt cheated and asked for a refund of the deposit. The other party promised to settle after the end of the quarter, but within a few days, Gao Su found out that he had been blocked by the other party.
She reported a complaint to an online recruitment platform, but received no response.
In online recruitment, "paid internal referral" is also a common routine.
A blogger who has long been committed to exposing the "paid internal referral" routine told reporters that "paid internal referral" is divided into two modes of operation: one is that the institution sends the resumes of college students in the form of "casting a wide net". For interviews and internship opportunities, the institution claims that it is the credit of "internal referrals"; the other is to ask students to spend money to buy "internal referrals". Often, after paying the money, the students find out that the positions they get are not signed any contracts or issued. "Little black workers" with any pay.
Liu Min (pseudonym), a college student from Chengdu, Sichuan, was caught in the scheme.
Liu Min learned through social platforms that an online training institution provides "certificate research + internship + work" services, so she consulted the customer service staff for specific matters.
The customer service repeatedly sold Liu Min the package package of "certification course + paid internal referral", totaling more than 40,000 yuan, and guaranteed Liu Min to have unlimited internal referral opportunities, at least one recommended interview, and that the internship agency covers all financial institutions on the market.
In order to find a job as soon as possible, Liu Min paid the registration fee without much thought.
After purchasing the course, the training institution provided Liu Min with several internal internship opportunities according to his career plan.
But Liu Min found that these internship units were all small brokerage business departments, which did not conform to their career plans at all, and the internship content was mainly printing and delivering documents, and they could not access professional content, so they rejected these internship arrangements.
Regarding the original promise of internship and internal promotion, the training institution repeatedly shied away, making Liu Min wait patiently.
Not long ago, when Liu Min came to the door again to ask for an explanation, he found that the offline teaching site was empty, and the other party could no longer be contacted.
After embarking on the road of rights protection, Liu Min discovered that sixty or seventy people had been tricked by this training institution.
The reporter saw on a third-party complaint platform that the platform received a total of 112 complaints against the training institution within 30 days. The status is "Processing".
"Enterprises or employment agencies are not allowed to provide false recruitment information or publish false recruitment advertisements. Violators will be subject to administrative penalties. And employment agencies must obtain administrative licenses, otherwise the provision of employment agency services is illegal." Tahota (Chongqing) Zhu Jie, a senior partner at the law firm, said.
Minor infringement and serious crime
Strengthen the supervision of real-name registration
College students who are caught in the trap of online recruitment and lose money may be considered "lucky". Some college students want to easily make thousands of yuan a day in online recruitment, but they are being used by criminals step by step. the way of crime.
According to public reports, Wang Hai, a college student in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, who is about to graduate, found a leisurely "high-paying job" some time ago - just working a few hours a day and earning more than 10,000 yuan a month.
According to the request of the other party, Wang Hai has applied for multiple bank cards, and every time he works, he transfers money through mobile phones and withdraws money from ATM machines.
In 3 days, his bank turnover amounted to more than 1 million yuan, and he also received nearly 3,000 yuan in remuneration.
It was not until the police in Guangling, Yangzhou, Jiangsu came to the door, that Wang Hai realized that he had touched the red line of the law.
At present, the relevant persons involved in the case have been transferred to the procuratorate on suspicion of covering up the crime of concealing the proceeds of crime.
Coincidentally, Zhang Lin, who was studying at a vocational school in Anhui, was attracted by the high salary and joined the team of "running points to make money" - providing bank cards under his name to cooperate with the other party to transfer funds. the more reward.
After some operation, Zhang Lin received 3,600 yuan "labor service fee".
In the end, given that Zhang Lin’s college was a student, a first-time offender, and an occasional offender who pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, the court sentenced him to 11 months in prison, suspended for one year and six months, and fined 11,000 yuan for the crime of helping information network criminal activities.
Regarding the above-mentioned traps in recruitment and training, Zhu Jie analyzed that the rights and interests of college students have been violated, and recruitment agencies and training agencies have at least failed to perform their contracts and violated the Civil Code, and should be compensated.
If the institution, for the purpose of illegal possession, falsely claims to provide training, certificate research, job introduction, acceptance of internships, etc., but does not actually provide corresponding services, and defrauds college students of money, it is suspected of fraud and violates the criminal law.
In Zhu Jie's view, in order to purify the online recruitment and training market and protect the rights and interests of college graduates, the first step is to rectify false advertisements. It is recommended that platform operators strictly review the qualifications of advertisement publishers, and real-name registration is required for recruitment and training; Training and recruitment institutions are included in the credit system, making it difficult for the untrustworthy; market supervision departments should strengthen supervision and increase administrative penalties for violators.
"In addition, before college students leave the school, the school should organize and carry out legal publicity to strengthen students' anti-fraud awareness."
Liu Junhai, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, pointed out that the existence of a large number of online recruitment training traps indicates that there are loopholes and blind spots in supervision. It is necessary to create a multi-departmental coordination supervision mechanism for online platforms and a large number of training and recruitment agencies, and build a 24-hour all-weather, 360 A comprehensive, cross-market, cross-regional, cross-departmental, cross-industry information sharing mechanism for law enforcement and supervision cooperation to purify the market.
Liu Junhai also reminded college students to be vigilant when applying for a job. Most of the people who started to collect money during the job application process were fraudulent behaviors. They should pay attention to retaining evidence, and promptly complain to the administrative department or report the case to the public security organ if any problem is found.
