Since August, "prospective freshmen" have received admission notices from their favorite universities one after another, and they are also ready to pack their bags and start college life. School is about to start, and facing the upcoming new life,
It has become the first thing for many prospective college students to go online to the "freshmen group" of various schools or join the "fellow villagers group" to consult their seniors and sisters. However, Gao Xiao, a prospective college student from Shenyang, is puzzled.
Which college freshmen who join QQ have to pay to enter? Before entering the school, you should charge a "membership fee". What kind of routine is this? After the interview, the reporter learned that the threshold for "freshmen" to pay for admission is mostly attractive.
Deceiving freshmen after joining the group may be suspected of fraud and extortion. Stay alert!
The membership fee finally went into the owner's account.
Gao Xiao told shenyang evening news and Shenbao that more than ten days ago, he joined a QQ group named "Freshmen Group of Heilongjiang University 20 17" through QQ search. "Look at the group profile, I thought it was a freshman school.
Friends group, apply to join, but this group has set a threshold for paying to join the group. If you want to enter, you have to pay a fee ranging from 1-6.6 yuan. "Gao said," I see the administrator said that the money paid is a membership fee.
Well, it's all to prevent irrelevant people from joining the group. I don't think there is much money Moreover, I really want to meet new students online first, so as not to be too lonely after school, so I paid 5 yuan to join the group. "
Gao Xiao found on the payment page that the information shows that the membership fee will be directly transferred to the owner's account, and if he leaves within 5 minutes, the fee can be refunded. However, after entering the group chat interface, Gao Xiao found himself set to "silence 5 points"
Clock ". In the chat with group friends, Gao Xiao found that more than a dozen people paid to join the group and wanted to consult some enrollment matters, but the advertisements in the group were overwhelming, such as selling telephone cards and recruiting part-time jobs online. "This kind of pressure.
It's just an advertising group, not a new group. I had no choice but to quit, but my membership fee was wasted. "
Most freshmen in shanzhai are in the advertising group.
Reporters randomly searched for "new students" on QQ, and hundreds of similar groups appeared, most of which were shanzhai groups, and these shanzhai groups either required to pay to join the group or made friends in the group one after another.
Advertisements such as "part-time job" and "single bill". These groups are all in the name of universities all over the country, such as "Nankai University Freshmen Group" and "Yanbian University Freshmen Group 20 17", and their registered places are all over the country.
Previously, Nankai University issued a statement in its official Weibo, saying that a QQ group named "Nankai University 20 17 Freshmen General Group" charged freshmen in the name of the school, and each person paid 5 yuan every month, and the fee was used for "joining the group".
Internal construction ",verified by the school, the school has never established an official freshman group (including QQ group and WeChat group), and some college students have established several freshman exchange groups to answer questions for freshmen and be warm and friendly.
However, the consultation information released by teachers, students and schools through official channels is free.
Shenyang police said that in order to attract more fans, some online advertising groups will change their group names to "freshmen" by any means from the beginning of the college entrance examination to the beginning of school, which not only increases the search volume, but also attracts many freshmen to join. After gaining the trust of new students, it is much easier to publish advertisements or cheat money.
Police: building a toll group or involved in fraud in the name of colleges and universities.
According to the relevant national laws and regulations, it is illegal to advertise in the name of colleges and universities to defraud money. If the illegal income reaches more than 3,000 yuan, it may be suspected of fraud, and the amount is not up to the standard of criminal cases.
, you can also be detained for more than 5 days 10 days in accordance with the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, and you can also be fined up to 500 yuan. If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for more than 10 days and less than 1000 yuan.
Remind freshmen: Some criminals focus their crimes on freshmen some time before they enter school, and they must be careful to defraud money or personal information in various names.
If you find that there is a compulsory charge for the "new students" in the cottage on the Internet, you should contact the school or college counselor at the first time to verify the authenticity. If you are suspected of fraud and extortion, you can call the police directly.
All the people in the group who want money are liars.
