How can Canadian students prevent missing?

Just last week, several overseas students from China disappeared in Toronto, which touched the hearts of many domestic classmates and friends. Everyone is concerned about the latest development of this matter. What I want to say is how Canadian students can prevent disappearance.

Event progress:

According to the latest Canadian news, the Toronto police announced that Zhan, a 20-year-old female student at the University of Toronto, was found among the missing China students last Saturday.

Subsequently, Zhang Yuwen sent a message of peace in a circle of friends on Sunday morning.

At the same time, the Consulate General also said yesterday that Kenzie, a female student from China who lost contact in the WeChat group of China students at McMaster University, has also been found and returned safely.

The safe recovery of two consecutive international students has reassured many netizens who are concerned about the progress of the disappearance case.

However, Ke "Jaden" Xu, a boy aged 16, and Yue "Kandy "Liu, a girl aged 17, who disappeared before, have not been found.

Among them, 17-year-old female student Yue "Kandy" Liu disappeared for nearly 36 hours, and 16-year-old boy Ke "Jaden" Xu disappeared for nearly 48 hours, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

In this regard, the Canadian police have previously released information about telephone fraud. Moreover, there was also information about fraudulent phone calls by fake consulates before, which led to many international students being cheated.

The following are two recent common fraud methods integrated by netizens:

? Pretend to call the consulate.

Because the information of international students was leaked by illegal intermediaries, scammers used the leaked information and used some software to impersonate the consulate to make phone calls. Previously, many people have responded by receiving calls from fake consulates.

The Consulate General of Toronto has issued a circular at 1 65438+1October1,once again solemnly reminding overseas Chinese and China students to take precautions against telecom fraud. "China Interpol Liaison Office in Ottawa" is a fictional organization, and Interpol China National Central Bureau has not set up a so-called "liaison office" in Ottawa. The embassy or consulate in Canada has never directly handled specific cases such as parcel detention.

? MLM swindles under the banner of "starting a business".

There are still many college students cheated into pyramid schemes in China, so international students should always be alert to the surrounding environment when going overseas. Prior to this, there were swindlers in Toronto who pretended to be university doctors, specifically for the purpose of finding jobs or enrolling students, deceiving new immigrants or international students.

In addition to the above fraud methods, there are other related fraud methods:

Tuition payment discount

Criminals post information through websites, WeChat and other channels, saying that tuition fees can be discounted. The way to cheat is to pay tuition to the school through a third-party credit card and show the students the remittance receipt of tuition. After seeing the receipt, the students think that the payment is successful, and then pay the discounted amount to the criminals. The criminals terminated the credit card transaction after receiving the money. Finally, the school didn't charge tuition fees and asked the students to pay them back, only then did the students realize that they had been cheated.

Online winning fraud

Criminals design various scams after obtaining personal information such as mobile phone numbers and names of international students through various means. For example, criminals called to hold an event in Sydney and invited you to attend. Of course, you can ignore him. After a while, the criminals called again and said that you couldn't attend the event, but you won the grand prize in the event, and told a website (a travel company in Hong Kong) to let you check it yourself. There will be your winning information on the website, and you are required to pay a certain fee to receive the prize. After you hand it in, there will naturally be no prizes.

Sublet apartment fraud

An outlaw who claimed to be an international student in China posted on the Internet, claiming that he would return to China for three months, and wanted to sublet his house within these three months, demanding a one-time payment of three months' rent and a deposit of 1 month. A number of international students contacted for payment and signed an irregular rental agreement. Later, when the key was turned over, the victim never disappeared.

Consular system update

Some students have received an email named "visa-g" from the sender, with the general content of updating the consulate system. The recipient needs to fill in seven questions about parents' detailed information in the email in time, otherwise it will affect the personal renewal in the future. If deceived, criminals may cheat their families under false names after obtaining family information.

Pretending to be a gangster threat.

A preppie who just arrived in Melbourne leaked personal information on social software, and was threatened with money by a self-proclaimed gangster on the phone, otherwise he would hit someone at home.

How to prevent it?

Once international students receive a phone call from the Canadian consulate or liaison office, don't be credulous. The consulate will not verify information, especially bank account information, and will not ask some inexplicable questions by phone.

If it involves domestic information, you must contact your relatives and friends at home to confirm the information in time, and don't blindly believe it.

If you are deceived, please report it to the local police immediately. If you accidentally disclose information, you can report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Center and ask it to protect its property. "
