Reserved quota? Internal indicators? Don't fall for these college entrance exam scams anymore. Military academies | grades | enrollment

Recently, various parts of the country have successively announced their college entrance examination results, and the work of college admission has also begun. Today, we need to remind candidates and parents to be vigilant against those who claim to spend money to "modify their grades" and those who use channels such as "supplementary enrollment quotas" and "internal indicators" to achieve low scores in entering prestigious universities. We must be vigilant. Let's first take a look at a recently announced case in Beijing.

The defendant Liu has a master's degree and operates an art education and training institution in Wuhan, as well as branches in other cities across the country. The prosecutor's office accused Liu of exaggerating to the parents of the candidates during the education and training process that he has been deeply involved in art training and education for many years, and has cooperated with many famous universities in China to help cultural courses pass through the "planned reserved quota". Candidates who pass the qualification line for professional courses but are not within the admission range can enter some famous art colleges or art majors in some prestigious universities in China through internal indicators. However, obtaining these indicators requires money and they even sign a contract with the parents of the candidates, promising a full refund if they fail to achieve them. The prosecution accused the defendant of defrauding 9 parents of over 900000 yuan in Beijing and other places.

Judge Liu Lu from the First Intermediate People's Court of Beijing: Many parents initially bring their students to participate in cultural and artistic training courses. I learned during the training process that he is the person in charge of the cultural and artistic training center, and I also feel that he should have such a way. So he used this method to promote to parents, and he had internal quotas and channels, gaining some trust from parents.

In fact, Liu's education and training institution does invite teachers from famous art schools to participate in the training, and he also knows some people in this field. However, the so-called "planned reserved quotas" and "internal indicators" are completely scams. He collects money from his parents and uses it to repay debts and squander it. When urged by parents, he fabricated various lies to deceive them. This month, he said he would personally go to contact someone to get the admission letter for his child. Next month, he said it was done and asked the parents to take their child to school for an interview.

Judge Liu Lu from the First Intermediate People's Court of Beijing: Because many of these are art related admissions and promise admission, he has asked some parents to go to some universities for interview and interview. But in fact, after the parents arrived there, due to various reasons, they evaded several times and dragged on for a long time. In the end, there was no interview or interview. Parents won't be able to take their children back.

At the time of the incident, Liu still had over 520000 yuan that had not been refunded or compensated to his parents. In the end, Liu was sentenced to eleven years in prison and fined RMB 110000 for fraud by the court.

Can you afford to attend a well-known military academy with money? The defendant was sentenced to 5 years in prison for fraud

Coincidentally, in the following case, the defendant also deceived the victim's trust under the identity of a so-called "military academy student".

The defendant Zhao, who is 21 years old this year, was accused by the procuratorial organs of fraudulently obtaining a total of 452000 yuan from the victim Wang's quota fee, test question fee, and hospitality and gift fee between May 2021 and May 2022, on the grounds of being able to use connections to help the victim Wang's son get into a well-known military academy.

The judge introduced that the defendant and the victim have an acquaintance relationship, and the reason why they can win the trust of the victim is that people around them believe that he entered this well-known military academy through this special relationship the year before.

After receiving the money, one day the defendant Zhao mysteriously went to the victim's home and installed a software on his computer. He then used a specific password to enter and asked the victim to answer questions, saying that this was the internal recruitment exam of the military academy.

Judge Zhu Xiaoxi of the Third Intermediate People's Court of Beijing: After the victim answered the question, the defendant told the victim that the result of the answer was not ideal, and the previously agreed upon well-known military academy could no longer be attended. But the defendant has other connections that can help the victim go to college.

While waiting, the victim saw that the university had been open for a long time and their child's education had not been resolved, so they kept urging. The defendants all procrastinated under the pretext of being in the process, and even took screenshots to falsely claim that they knew a certain leader on TV and there was no problem with the situation. It was not until May of the following year that the victim saw no hope of going to school before reporting to the police.

Judge Zhu Xiaoxi of the Third Intermediate People's Court of Beijing: After the victim reported the case, through the investigation of the public security organs, we found that the defendant's identity as attending a military academy was also fictitious, and the admission notice of the school was forged by the defendant himself. The defendant falsely claimed to his family that he went to school, but in reality, he lived with some of his friends and lived together in the house rented by his friends.

The so-called military academy exam was also a question that the defendant Zhao found online, pieced it together, and put it on a third-party cloud exam platform, falsely claiming it was just an internal military academy exam.

In the end, the defendant Zhao was sentenced to five years in prison and fined 50000 yuan by the court for committing fraud.

Don't share your college entrance examination documents online if rumors are untrustworthy

There are various types of college entrance examination scams, which ones are more common? How to prevent it? The judge summarized the following points for parents and candidates to refer to.

There are several types of college entrance examination scams:

1. the "early check points" scam. At the end of the college entrance examination, students and parents want to know the scores most. Fraudsters may carry out fraud through false links that parents or individuals send "scores in advance.

2. the "modifiable grade" scam. Fraudsters falsely claim that they can add points for internal operations, or claim that they can change points through hacker technology to carry out fraud. Similarly, there are scams set up in the name of "supplementary quota, internal indicators" and so on.

3. the "scholarship" scam. After obtaining the examinee's identity information through illegal channels, the fraudsters pretended to be staff members of the education department to defraud the deposit or handling fee on the grounds that they met the qualifications of "scholarship", "grant" or "college entrance examination subsidy.

4. the "fake admission letter" scam. The swindler pretended to be a college admissions officer and sent a forged admission notice to the examinee, allowing the examinee to enter the tuition and miscellaneous fees into the designated bank account to defraud money.

The judge reminded that candidates and parents must inquire and obtain high-level recruitment information through the official websites of education departments and universities, and do not listen to all kinds of gossips.

Judge Liu Lu from the First Intermediate People's Court of Beijing: We should carefully and deeply understand the enrollment policies of the universities we are interested in or want to apply to. We should not trust so-called internal channels. Other special admission channels, as long as they involve such information, are all scams.

In addition, some documents related to the college entrance examination cannot be freely shared online, such as the college entrance examination admission ticket, the college entrance examination transcript or score query page, the paper form for filling out college entrance examination preferences, and the university admission notice. Because there will be photos, names, ID number numbers, admission card numbers, admission majors and even college student numbers of candidates on these pages, if they are mastered by criminals, the probability of being defrauded will greatly increase.
