Police uncover "class group" scam
When did the scammers infiltrate the class group, and how did they do it?
Scammers will take advantage of some students' hobby of playing games, and induce students to give QR codes to the scammers' class group by giving away game skins. After the scammer scans the code into the group, changes his avatar and name to the head teacher's avatar and name, and asks the student's parents to transfer money to cheat money on the pretext of charging learning fees.
What other ways can scammers infiltrate class groups?
Criminals can directly search for the group chat keywords of the class group in QQ, and a large number of public group chat information will appear, and they can enter it after applying; Some schools are lax in the operation and safety of parent groups, and the WeChat and QQ accounts of class groups (teachers' WeChat accounts, QQ numbers, and mobile phone numbers) are directly written on the blackboard or made public, giving criminals an opportunity to take advantage of; After the criminals obtain the student's information, disguise themselves as the student's parents and add the class teacher's QQ/WeChat, which is usually noted as "the student's father/mother", due to the large number of students, many teachers will not verify them one by one, after the addition is successful, the criminals will ask the teacher to pull them into the class group; Criminals stay at the gate of the campus, chat with other parents, get close, disguise themselves as parents of students after obtaining relevant information, and ask parents for the QR code of the class group.
How do scammers impersonate teachers to confuse students and parents?
Once the scammer becomes a friend or group friend, he can view the other party's avatar, nickname, group notes and other information, and only need to download the avatar and copy the nickname to quickly create a high-imitation account, which is very confusing. Due to the peculiarities of the profession, many teachers have turned on the message do not disturb function, or turned off their mobile phones during class. Criminals often choose time slots such as classes and lunch breaks, and take advantage of the time difference so that real teachers can't find out in time.
How do scammers collect money in class groups?
The function of group collection is more "convenient" and "fast", and the amount is fixed, many parents will respond immediately when they see the teacher issuing a notice, and the collection rate is high, and at the same time, due to the "authenticity" of the group chat, many parents will not have doubts.

If someone claims to be a school teacher or posts fee information in the parent group, please contact the retained class teacher at the first time to contact and verify, or you can confirm through the school's contact number or the official channels of the educational institution.

Education fees are usually collected through formal channels and are not transferred through personal accounts or unofficial platforms.
