Summer vacation is coming, and many college students choose to spend their vacation by doing "summer jobs". However, some students have found that some institutions have set up the calculation of part-time students, charging students a deposit ranging from 300 yuan to 450 yuan in the form of service fees.
After the launch of the "2024 Shanghai Summer 'Summer Service Improvement Action'" in Shanghai, the reporter found that these "paid part-time" companies appeared in a large number of various recruitment platforms, and they used the same language to promise students who were not deeply involved in the world that they could provide internship certificates and assist in background investigation.· But once the payment is actually made, what awaits students is often the public news that has been forwarded by many hands, the part-time job opportunity with pitfalls, or the fate of being missed.
Summer work chaos investigation: selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, collecting a deposit to "play and disappear"
It's hard to tell the real from the fake: "paid part-time jobs" are flooding part-time apps
On a part-time platform, the reporter randomly locked 3 job opportunities on the grounds that students were looking for part-time jobs in the summer, including movie theater ticket inspectors, book sorters, etc. Surprisingly, these three part-time opportunities, which don't seem unusual on the surface, actually lead to "paid part-time" businesses.
For example, in a recruitment information released by Shanghai Yunfan Industrial Co., Ltd. for "part-time movie theater ticket inspection and scanning for 300 days in summer vacation", the recruiter described the position as a ticket inspector, cashier, etc., with a salary of 300 yuan to 600 yuan. Priority will be given to students, and students can issue internship certificates.
However, when the undercover reporter really went to the interview location as required, he found that everything on the scene was different from what was promised in the recruitment information.
Job postings
At the interview site, the company responsible for receiving unannounced reporters has turned into Shanghai Congjie Business Consulting Planning Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Congjie Company"), after asking reporters to fill in a series of personal information including ID number, home address, etc., the person in charge of the scene did not mention the matter of the ticket inspector, he began to say that he can recommend all kinds of part-time activities to reporters, and can also help reporters meet celebrities and become models.
You have a beautiful face, and your face is white. A few days ago, a 09-year-old junior high school student came to work part-time, and the little girl came to work part-time alone. She looks pretty and wears a small T-shirt that leaks her belly button, and that one has big breasts, and she wears a very short JK skirt underneath it, and she came over with stockings, and I didn't let her do it. ”
The middle-aged man in charge of recruitment bragged.
After some foreshadowing, the person in charge changed his conversation and began to talk about the cost. He said: "During our activities, we have to pay for food and water, and we need to pay this kind of expenses in advance. A unified 30 yuan per game, with a minimum of 15 games. ”
Subsequently, the person in charge showed the reporter a "cooperation agreement" and signaled that the reporter could sign the "cooperation agreement" if he was interested.
"He's lying to the big wrongs." A girl who also came to the interview whispered to reporters. After discovering the charge, she decisively chose to give up the interview.
If there is a part-time job that needs to be interviewed, you have to sign an agreement, and you can sign an agreement for one day. ”
However, there were also young people at the scene who chose to believe in the commitment of the person in charge and paid for the service. A young man listened to the propaganda of the person in charge and paid 450 yuan to the organization. "We signed a contract, and we can't run." The young man said quite confidently.

Fancy commitments: internship certificates can be issued, and background adjustments can be supported
In Shanghai Yaoweijin Culture Communication Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yaoweijin Company") located in Minhang and Shanghai Rongjiang Advertising Media Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Rongjiang Company") located in Putuo District, similar situations are repeated.
Although the positions submitted by the reporters were ticket inspectors and part-time library workers, as soon as they arrived at the interview location, the on-site leaders of the two companies recommended other part-time opportunities and encouraged the reporters to sign a "cooperation agreement" and pay a "service fee".
Although the three companies are located in Songjiang District, Minhang District, and Putuo District, they use the same language.
They all said that the service fee for each event is 30 yuan, with a minimum of 10 to 15 sessions. The service is valid for one year after payment. In addition, the Cooperation Agreement provided by the three institutions is also similar.
In the "Non-professional Cooperation Agreement" provided by Yaoweijin, this fee is defined as "brokerage management service fee", and said: "If Party B needs to participate in foreign exhibitions and performing arts notification activities, Party A will unconditionally provide Party B with clothing, food, housing and transportation. ”
Rongjiang Company stated in the "Cooperation Agreement" that Party B needs to provide paid services for Party A's project if it needs to provide paid services such as unified clothing, props, unified training, information inquiry, on-site management services, etc. In this agreement, the money is likewise referred to as the "Brokerage Management Service Fee".
Cooperation agreement of "Yaoweijin Company".
However, when the reporter asked what the 30 yuan would be used for if some activities did not require participants to dress uniformly, Rongjiang Company admitted that the main role of this money was to buy part-time information.
The reporter found that whether it is in the recruitment advertisement or in the on-site communication, these companies clearly regard college students as the main target. In communication, they will make a lot of promises that are very attractive to college students.
The staff of Yaoweijin told reporters:
There are also people under the age of 16 who come to work part-time, and both adults and older people are recruited. But most of them are students. I can also give you college students an internship certificate, whatever you need, bring it over, we will open it for you, as long as your school needs it, we can write it for you. ”
The staff of Rongjiang Company said that they can not only help with the internship certificate, but also help answer the "back call". "We'll answer the phone call from the company, and we've helped the students take it before."
At the recruitment sites of the three companies, the reporter saw many young people who were attracted by the recruitment advertisements. Judging from their appearance and dress, these young people who came to the "interview" still looked like students. Among them, the company with the largest number of people waiting for the "interview" on the spot is Rongjiang Company, which is located on the 5th floor of Shangcheng International Building, Putuo District. When the reporter arrived at the scene, at least dozens of young people were waiting for an "interview" at the scene. Not only that, but after some "interviews", quite a few young people choose to pay and sign the agreement.

The secret of the routine is revealed: "service" is just a message from the circle of friends
So, what exactly are the so-called "brokerage management services" provided by these companies? In order to find out, the reporter paid 300 yuan for brokerage management services and purchased 10 services in Rongjiang Company, which has the largest number of people.
The routine behind the paid part-time job also surfaced at this moment.
"You pay 299.9 yuan." In the payment link, Miss Li, a staff member of Rongjiang Company, suddenly strongly requested a discount of 1 cent for the reporter. When the reporter insisted on paying the amount agreed in the contract, she gave up.
The moment the reporter paid the money, he found out that the collection unit of the contract was not the Rongjiang Company on the contract and invoice, but an individual industrial and commercial household named the business department of Zantong Guyue Department Store. In other words, if the reporter pays according to Miss Li's request, then there will inevitably be a situation where the reporter has clearly paid, but neither the amount nor the payment object can match the contract.
The undercover reporter transferred and paid 300 yuan
After the payment, the staff told reporters that the so-called service is to add her WeChat, and she will post part-time information in the WeChat circle of friends. After seeing the part-time job information, the reporter can contact him by himself.
These part-time jobs posted by Ms. Li on Moments, including telephone outbound part-time sales, online and offline filling, etc. It is far from the book arranger, ticket inspector, etc. promised by Rongjiang Company in the recruitment software.
Miss Li told reporters that she will update the part-time job information in the circle of friends every day, and if she sees a part-time job she is interested in, the reporter can contact her to sign up. However, you need to report to her after signing up, otherwise she will not be responsible for not getting the money.

Hidden risk: "disappearing" in less than a week after the deposit is collected
The reporter noticed that Miss Li released about a dozen messages every day. Although some of them require a large number of people, most of them only recruit a few people. However, in just over an hour in Rongjiang Company, the reporter saw more than a dozen young people who took contracts and left Rongjiang Company satisfied.
On July 7, citizen Xiao M reported to the Morning News · Zhou to Shanghai that "many college students are there to interview for summer jobs." With such a large number of recruitments, how does Rongjiang Company ensure that the limited number of jobs can meet the steady stream of job seekers? How to restrain these job seekers, after successful self-registration, take the initiative to send screenshots to Rongjiang Company to count?
Netizens reported recruitment problems to the news morning newspaper · Zhouhui Shanghai
Just when the reporter was puzzled, on July 16, 5 days after the reporter purchased the service, the reporter found that he could no longer see Miss Li's circle of friends. Not only that, when the reporter questioned the other party, Miss Li was also silent, and the previous promise that the service would be valid for one year seemed to have never happened.
Only 5 days later, the reporter could no longer see the content of Miss Li's circle of friends
In just five days, the 300 yuan service fee paid by the reporter to the "paid part-time" enterprise was in vain.
In fact, the "pitfalls" that college students may encounter in this kind of "paid part-time job" are far more than the loss of hundreds of dollars in service fees. In the previous 5 days of observation, the reporter found that Miss Li's various part-time jobs posted in the circle of friends were full of many traps.
For example, in a part-time job called "mobile phone indoor charging", the job content is "download and register the app, improve the popularity of the app, the number of users", etc. The campaign claimed: "All downloaded apps are on their own mobile phones, and they will be deleted after completion", but at the same time, part-time workers are required to bring their ID cards and an empty bank card. Once the organizers have malicious intentions and are misused bank cards, it is easy to involve college students in helping information network criminal activities.
For another example, a part-time job called "Minhang Xinzhuang College Students Fill 500 Yuan" requires students to apply for 9 bank cards from different banks in one go. Each card can range from $20 to $50. These bank cards that are handled in batches can easily bring a burden to students in their future lives.
In addition, some unhealthy part-time activities can easily lead college students who are not deeply involved in the world astray. The young man who had previously purchased services at Congjie told reporters that he saw "bar filling activities" in the part-time job information released by the company. This kind of activity arranges part-time students to drink in a bar booth at a low price of twenty or thirty yuan each, and the event lasts until 2:30 a.m. Among them, the price is 20 yuan for boys and 30 yuan for girls.
Job posting content
Yan Yan, a well-known lawyer, pointed out that according to the relevant laws and regulations, during the employment process, the employer shall not require the employee to provide a guarantee or collect property from the employee in other names. Regardless of whether it is full-time or part-time, the employer should not charge any form of deposit from the employee.
Under the guise of "cooperation", the employer uses gimmicks such as "water and rice management fee", "uniform clothing" and "information service" to collect workers' fees in disguise, and such contracts are illegal and unfair, and are suspected of fraud, and should be invalidated.
Mr. Yan said:
If the 'brokerage service' that a university student receives is a labor agency job similar to that of a headhunter, then there is nothing wrong with paying for it. However, if fraud is committed under the guise of 'brokerage services', it falls under the category of contract fraud. We must make a comprehensive judgment from the perspective of the company's background qualifications, the reasonableness of the terms, and the liability of both parties for breach of contract, so as not to be easily deceived. It is more secure to seek a job through a formal company with a background in recruitment and headhunting qualifications. ”
More importantly, Mr. Yan emphasized that in the process of part-time work, students should keep their eyes open and must not be greedy for small profits, and any simple but high-income "part-time job" may have huge risks.
For example, according to the law, no unit or individual may illegally buy, sell, lease, or lend phone cards, bank accounts, etc., and those who violate this provision will face confiscation of illegal gains, fines, and punishment such as detention if the circumstances are serious. Therefore, when college students choose part-time jobs, they must be vigilant against part-time activities involving bank cards, phone cards and other loans to personal accounts, and do not become accomplices of criminals because of greed for small profits.
Mr. Yan also reminded students that they should learn to conduct background interviews with employers:
Carefully inquire about the basic situation of these employers to see how long they have been established, whether there have been a large number of recent changes in senior management, and whether the enterprise registration information and business scope are consistent with his preaching. Keep your eyes peeled to avoid being deceived unnecessarily. If you really encounter employment fraud, you must also report to the police and defend your rights in time to avoid more students from falling into it! ”
