With the announcement of the results of the college entrance examination, the enrollment of colleges and universities followed. At this time, some criminals try to take advantage of the nervousness of candidates and parents to design all kinds of scams for illegal benefits. In order to protect the rights and interests of candidates' families, the Ministry of Education issued a warning on June 29, urging everyone to obtain correct information about test admissions through official channels, and revealed four common fraud methods. Next, we will delve into these scams and highlight the need for proper information channels while providing strategies to prevent them.
One of the tricks used by criminals is to send vague but threatening text messages that falsely claim that a candidate's results have been cancelled due to cheating, and induce them to contact a fake official phone number to solve the problem. Once the call is returned, the other party will ask for money on the grounds of fines or information verification. Another method is to claim that there are "internal channels" to guarantee admissions, and ask for huge fees to exchange places in ideal schools, but in fact make fictitious promises, leaving the victims with no money. There are also scammers who take advantage of information asymmetry to promote unaccredited educational programs, resulting in a waste of students' time and resources. What's more, falsifying admission letters and asking for false fees will not only cause financial losses, but also may miss out on regular admission opportunities.
In the face of these scams, official channels become the cornerstone of obtaining admissions information. Candidates and parents should only rely on the official website of the Ministry of Education, the websites of provincial and municipal education examination institutes and the official platforms of universities, including their social media accounts. The information published by these platforms is authoritative and reliable, and it is effective in avoiding misleading and fraudulent information. For example, the official will announce the formal results inquiry, admission progress and policy interpretation.
Preventive measures are crucial: if you receive "cheating" text messages, first calmly verify them, verify them through the official platform, and call the official hotline if necessary. In the face of "internal quotas", it is necessary to adhere to the principle, and the admission of the mainland college entrance examination follows the rules of openness and transparency, and rejects any informal channels. Before choosing an educational program, it is necessary to conduct a detailed research on the school's qualifications and consult with professionals to prevent them from going astray. When receiving an offer of admission, you should carefully check the information and verify the authenticity through official channels.
In summary, it is necessary to be vigilant during the admission stage of the college entrance examination, insist on obtaining information from official sources, remain cautious about all kinds of suspicious situations, and verify information through formal procedures to ensure the safety of the admission process and smoothly enter a new journey in life.
