Fraudsters often obtain the contact information of international students through illegal channels, and then through technical means, forge the number into the public phone number of the embassy and consulate, posing as the embassy and consular staff to contact international students. After gaining their trust, they defrauded their identity card number, bank account, password and other sensitive information on the grounds that they needed to obtain important documents and were restricted from entering and leaving the country, and then transferred the money in their accounts through this information. Or impersonate the staff of the domestic "public security law" authorities, saying that international students are suspected of criminal crimes such as "money laundering" and "fraud", and if they do not cooperate with the investigation, they may be arrested and imprisoned or even repatriated to China, and use this as a threat to deceive international students to transfer money to the so-called "security account".

在遇到自称使领馆、国家机关工作人员主动联系自己时，一定要提高警惕，应第一时间与相关部门进行核实。切记，凡是要求转账进行资金核查的，都是诈骗！

As an international student, there are many needs such as ticket purchase, currency exchange, rent sharing, passport, visa, travel certificate and notarization certification, etc. Scammers often use the identity of "intermediary", and even claim to be "intermediary designated by embassies and consulates", familiar with or have a certain relationship with the staff, and can help quickly purchase tickets or handle documents and procedures. And with such needs of international students in a fake agreement, require the first payment of money, after the transfer notes can not be identified and other reasons, require the re-payment of money, or make up other reasons to ask them to transfer money to the designated account, after fraudulently remove the victim shielding.

For all types of intermediaries, we must first inquire and identify qualifications before purchasing goods and services. The embassy or consulate will not authorize any agency or individual to be the designated agency, and the passport, travel certificate and notarization business will not accept others. Studying abroad alone, do not relax your guard because the other party claims to be "compatriots", and matters involving personal safety and money must be handled or purchased through regular channels.

In a foreign land, many students will mail items to each other with their domestic families to convey the feeling of missing, at this time, fraudsters will pose as "e-commerce, logistics customer service", in order to buy goods quality problems, goods in the customs or halfway damaged can be made claims and other reasons to contact the victim. And ask the victim to fill in personal information, bank account, password, verification code and other information to directly complete the theft, or on the grounds that the victim's personal information is incorrectly entered, the account is frozen, and make a deposit request to induce the victim to further transfer money.

For e-commerce or logistics customer service to take the initiative to contact must be vigilant, should be in the original shopping platform to contact the official customer service for communication and confirmation, do not easily provide passwords, verification codes, and do not easily transfer money to others.

Fraudsters use the phone numbers of Chinese embassies or consulates or police to call Chinese students through technical means, making them believe they are involved in a crime or identity theft, and need to pay a fee to avoid prosecution, arrest or deportation. But what about no money, not enough money? Fraudsters then come up with strategies to convince the parties to fake their own kidnapping and ask for a "ransom" from their families to pay for the required expenses. At this time, the parties were in a state of extreme fear, and according to the instructions of the scammers, they left their homes, took pictures or videos of themselves being tied up, beaten, crying to their parents for rescue, and cut off all contact with the outside world. During the "lost contact" period, fraudsters fraudulently used the parties' wechat or mobile phones to contact their parents, falsely claiming that their children had been "kidnapped", and sending pictures or videos recorded in advance to support them, and defrauding parents of a huge "ransom". Because the fraudsters can accurately tell the child's privacy information, there are relevant pictures, videos as proof, and can not contact the child, parents often believe it, resulting in property damage.

Parents of international students are reminded that when they receive phone calls or pictures and videos claiming that their children have been kidnapped, they must remain calm and seek help from the police, embassies and consulates or their children's schools through regular channels to avoid being cheated.

Every graduation season, many international students are worried about finding a job, fraudsters will seize the job seekers eager for employment mentality to take the opportunity to cheat. One is to fake the intermediary company to introduce the job in the name of charging fees, and then make up a variety of reasons to refuse to hire or directly delete the victim screen; The second is to post phishing recruitment information on major websites, and use the psychology of job-hunting to ask candidates to log in to the phishing websites provided by QQ, wechat and other social accounts with their user names and passwords, so as to steal the social accounts of candidates, and then impersonate candidates to defraud their contacts and obtain monetary benefits.

Graduation job, should choose to the regular job market and high reputation of the recruitment website.
