Be cautious of these scams during the opening season of universities

2025-02-24   

Since the beginning of the school year, scams targeting students have entered a high incidence period, with the slogan 'You can earn money with just a few fingers, while studying and achieving economic freedom!'. Previously, the Economic Investigation Brigade of Jiangbei Branch of Ningbo Public Security Bureau in Zhejiang Province cracked a major illegal business case involving a total amount of over 100 million yuan. The main culprit Wu and others built a brushing platform and recruited brushing players nationwide, with a high proportion of college students. This platform provides many e-commerce platform merchants with false purchase of goods, posting pictures, and brushing positive reviews, seriously disrupting the order of the e-commerce market. Fraudsters take advantage of the lack of social experience and eagerness to make money among college students, earning trust with small rebates in the early stages, waiting for opportunities to induce increased investment, and finally demanding multiple transfers under the pretext of operating overtime or system failures, using a series of tasks to trap funds Yao Linjie, the instructor of the Economic Investigation Brigade of Jiangbei Branch, reminds that high returns often come with high risks. Any part-time job that requires advance funding may be suspected of illegal activities. We should be vigilant about so-called "brushing orders and rebates" and "high paying part-time jobs", and not go astray due to overconfidence. In another case solved by the Economic Investigation Brigade of Jiangbei Branch, a student from a certain school was tempted by a high salary of several hundred yuan per day and handed over his bank card to someone else for money laundering, with a total amount involved of nearly one million yuan. After the incident, the student voluntarily surrendered and was not prosecuted, but left a record. Their bank card was also included in the credit blacklist, which affected their life and employment. Many students mistakenly believe that not directly participating in criminal activities does not constitute a crime, but in fact, they are suspected of aiding information network criminal activities and can be sentenced to up to three years in prison Sun Haiyun, Deputy Director of Jiangbei Branch, reminds that if you find yourself deceived and mistakenly enter the criminal chain, you must immediately retain evidence and explain the situation to the police. The police remind that renting or selling bank cards and mobile phone cards to others is highly likely to be used for illegal and criminal activities. Once involved in illegal and criminal activities such as fraud and money laundering, the person providing the card will also bear corresponding legal responsibilities. Previously, the Zhuji Public Security Bureau in Shaoxing City solved a case. A certain company, under the banner of "sharing economy entrepreneurship", attracted a large number of college students to participate in investment with the popular topic of "sharing" and the slogan of "fast return, high return". At the same time, it is also claimed that high commissions can be obtained by recommending others to participate, and the income will continue to increase as the number of recommenders increases. After a period of time, the company stopped paying profits and the office was empty, and many participants realized they had fallen into a scam. Pyramid schemes involving college students often use the names of 'sharing economy' and 'entrepreneurial projects' to conceal the essence of Ponzi schemes. Any' entrepreneurship 'that requires payment and development of downlines is likely to be a pyramid scheme Yu Xudong, a counselor from the Economic Investigation Brigade of Zhuji Public Security Bureau, said that during the new school season, college students should be vigilant, and parents should maintain communication with their children. If they find that their children frequently transfer money, borrow the ID cards of relatives and friends to apply for bank cards, or mention "money making" projects, they should verify the situation in a timely manner and report to the police.
