"Star Assistant" Recruitment? A number of young people fell into the "sugar-coated" trap

"Arrange into the crew, choose a good role, can be a star assistant..." It seems that a star-studded golden light avenue entering the "entertainment circle" is spread out in front of people with dreams, and once the career plan full of new hopes is used by people with ulterior motives, many young people are deceived and have fallen into this "sugar-coated" trap.

On August 15, Yu Mou, who was attending a class at a university in Shanghai, saw a recruitment through the app software of a job search website on her mobile phone, which made her heart moved. "Recruit star assistants, 4800 yuan for two months during the internship period, and 1000 yuan for an additional month for the full attendance award." Yu contacted "Teacher Xie" on the recruitment by phone and asked him to interview on the sixth floor of a building in Shanghai's Songjiang District. With the dream of stardom shining with a halo, Yu mou quickly arrived at the interview place, and after a "teacher Jia" who claimed to be the producer of a film and television crew simply asked a few basic interview questions, Yu successfully interviewed, and signed a labor contract the next day, and paid the 2700 yuan food fee needed to enter the crew. In the afternoon of the same day, "Teacher Jia" gave Yu the contact information of "Director Lin", who was filming in a certain crew in Linyi, Shandong, and arrived in Linyi by car that night.

After arriving at Linyi Station, "Director Lin" asked Yu to find a hotel at the station for one night to stay on the phone, and the next day to take a train to a film and television base located in Mamuchi Township, Yinan County. The next day, Yu arrived at the destination, a driver came to meet Yu, the driver said "Director Lin" asked Yu to find the specific manager of the "Director Wang". Yu Mou, who was in a state of blindfolding, was pulled to a small two-story building near the Yiwen Town Bridge, where he met "Director Wang", and learned that Yu had no relevant work experience, "Director Wang" kindly reminded her after a few small talks, "If you want to get ahead, become famous, and be able to take office, you must have a good relationship with the director." Yu continued to ask questions, and the other party said meaningfully that it is natural to buy expensive tobacco and wine as gifts to show sincerity, and he will help send and speak for it, so as to get a good position. Yu quickly agreed, and the two went to a supermarket in the town and selected a box of Moutai wine and a few Chinese cigarettes, costing 9400 yuan.

After some operation, Yu was arranged to stay, and after a few days, she had to hang out in the film and television base, occasionally as a mass actor, and in the process, she met 3 young people who came here through the same recruitment channels, and learned during the exchange that she also came here to wait for the right position after paying the food fee and gift fee.

Contrary to everything imagined, Yu Mou played a retreat, and when he contacted "Director Lin" by phone, the other party said that the conditions of the crew here were limited, and it was not easy to arrange, and she could recommend a better crew position in Qingdao. After Yu agreed, he went to Qingdao Oriental Film Capital, and "Director Lin" said that he had contacted "Brother Qiang" to become a mass actor first, familiar with the situation of the crew and then become a star assistant. As a result, Yu went to Qingdao and became a mass actor of a certain crew.

Because she did not enter the crew, Yu Mou was a "group performance" for more than half a month, did not get a penny and did not become a star assistant, at this time she recalled the whole process and felt that something was wrong, how did the good star assistant become a "group performance"? Thinking that he might have been deceived, Yu called "Director Lin" and pleaded, and the other party only agreed to refund the 700 yuan of the food fee when signing the contract. Yu returned to Yinan by car and wanted to return the gift to get the money back, but was repeatedly pushed back by the other party. On the evening of August 31, Yu and 3 young people who had gone to the Yinan Film and Television Base together contacted each other, and they also felt that they had been deceived and went to the local police station to report the case.

When understanding the case, the police found that this was a typical fraud case, the victim had not seen the "Director Lin" just through telephone contact, was asked to pay food and gift fees, did not get the right position and the corresponding salary, some were asked to wait, some people could not wait to leave disappointed.

Through the visit and investigation, the police locked the suspect's foothold, but when they were arrested late that night, they found that the place and the "Director Wang" were already empty. The suspect left late at night, the monitoring of each intersection did not find that there were relevant vehicles going out, people should not have gone far, how to let the fish hook? The police were communicating with the victim, and the victim received a strange number, "I heard that you have reported the case, I will return the money to you, privately." The call was the "director Lin" behind the scenes, and after understanding the hint of the police, the victim agreed and agreed to the meeting place.

On the morning of September 1, at the agreed meeting place, the "Director Lin" who had just appeared was caught squarely by the police who had been squatting here. As a result, a criminal gang with "director Lin" as the behind-the-scenes "director", online release of film and television crew recruitment assistants and other information, renting a house in Shanghai "interview" as a guise, mainly targeting young people, relying on off-site film and television bases, multiple people playing roles, interlocking, and defrauding others of money gradually surfaced. On September 5, the police took advantage of the victory to pursue and arrested the interview examiner "Teacher Jia" in a rental house in Shanghai.

"Director Lin", male, from Dacheng County, Hebei Province, real name Jia Mouqing, pseudonym "Teacher Ouyang", "Teacher Du", etc., is the "general director" behind the fraud gang, he is unemployed vagrants, mixed in the film and television bases everywhere. In view of the situation that young people like to be a crew assistant so that they can enter the "entertainment circle", Jia Mouqing thought of the way to make money, he published information such as recruiting "star assistant, crew executive, photography assistant" on major job search websites, and collected information on online job seekers, in order to implement fraud more realistically, Jia Mouqing also used a found ID card to lease office space for a short time, privately engraved the seal of "a cultural media company in Xinjiang", forged labor contracts, and put on a reasonable "coat" for fraud.

The whole scam is interlocked, one link after another, each person plays a different role, in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, Jia Mouqing also acts as an aftermath, once the victim is emotional and has a tendency to make a big fuss, he will refund part of the food fee and "gift money", or fool the victim to find another crew as a "group performance" to appease the victim's emotions. Many victims think that they are unable to enter the crew as assistants due to their limited conditions or dissatisfaction with the director, and they can't get away with the attitude of calming things down. After the incident, when the police contacted some victims to verify, the other party thought that it was caused by the failure of the job search, and they did not know that they had been defrauded by others.

At present, the police have verified 8 victims, more than 200,000 yuan of property involved in the case, Jia Mouqing and Jia Mouliang have been criminally detained according to law for suspected fraud, other people involved in the case are being meticulously pursued, and the case is being dug up and followed up review is underway.
