Ofo car rental is only 10 yuan, and 99 yuan deposit is not required. What happened?

Since its appearance, bicycle sharing has been favored by citizens all over the world. For some specific groups, bike sharing has also introduced preferential policies. For example, ofo bicycle sharing stipulates that in addition to single-number cars, students and faculty can also enjoy the first order of the day for free. Recently, some QQ groups have appeared the student authentication business of paying ofo bicycle sharing. Ordinary users only need to pay 10 yuan to complete the teacher-student certification and enjoy the same riding benefits for teachers and students. In this regard, ofo's bicycle sharing customer service said that such behavior is "definitely not reliable" and the company is not allowed to do so.

After entering the keyword "ofo password sharing" in the QQ group search box, a number of groups about ofo password sharing appear, both nationwide and in specific cities. The reporter of Beiqing Daily randomly entered a QQ group named "ofo Bicycle Sharing Free Password", and the column of group members showed that there were more than 440 people in the group. The owner of the group attached a "notice to the group" to the group announcement, which said that it could help bicycles share certified teachers and students, and the certification fee was 15 yuan.

Contact Li Hao (a pseudonym), the group administrator, and ask about the payment for the certification of ofo cyclists. Li Hao first asked ofo if the bike had been certified before. After getting the negative answer, Li Hao said that the student certification business needs to pay 10 yuan, just provide the mobile phone number, and he will help with the rest. In addition, he also introduced the benefits of student certification. "You don't have to pay 99 yuan deposit. The first order is free every day. There are activities now, and 5 yuan has monthly subscription. This social user does not. "

As you can see in the ofo client, users need to fill in their names, schools and student numbers, and upload their student ID cards or front photos of faculty ID cards. After passing the verification, you can use the car without paying the 99 yuan deposit.

When asked if Li Hao has a student ID card, Li Hao didn't answer directly, but kept replying "It will help you to authenticate well". As to whether ofo will find out that he is not a real student, Li Hao bluntly said that "no one will check this" and repeatedly promised to use it.

After handing in 10 yuan, Li Hao said that he would help with the authentication within half an hour, and asked him to pay attention to the SMS verification code and send it to him. After about 10 minutes, I received a verification code message with the final signature ofo. After another 10 minute, I received a short message from ofo saying, "Your information identity does not meet the requirements, and the authentication failed. Please check the information and try again. A few minutes later, ofo sent another verification code message.

Sure enough, 30 minutes after I paid the money, I received an authenticated message. After logging in to the ofo client, I found that the mobile phone number has a corresponding user name, which shows "authenticated". Male, the school is Peking University.

"So you can use it." Soon, Li Hao sent a message saying.

In addition, I saw in the QQ group that some members posted screenshots of student certification in the group, claiming that they were senior three students, but they spent 10 yuan on student certification. The screenshot information shows that the certification school is Shahe Campus of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

In addition to this group, many QQ groups have the business of "student authentication 10 yuan", and some group owners directly say that the authentication is a real student ID card.

On the afternoon of March 17, some media called ofo customer service. A customer service said that the student certification of Jiao Tong 10 yuan was "definitely unreliable". "The company is not allowed to do this. Users should not believe this kind of news. "

The customer service said that users need to operate on their mobile phones, fill in relevant information and upload photos of their student ID cards. The information can be used without any cost after it has been approved by a backstage person. "Students are certified, and students from cooperative universities can be certified successfully. Universities without cooperation cannot pass the certification."

In addition, the customer service said that each teacher-student identity can only authenticate one user. After this identity authentication, others can no longer use this identity for authentication. Customer service reminds that if teachers and students encounter the situation of being impersonated, they can call ofo's official customer service phone number, submit ID cards, student ID cards and other identification certificates, and then cancel the illegally registered user identity.

The customer service said that the "Student Certification 10 yuan" has been recorded and handed over to the relevant leaders for investigation and verification.
