What’s going on with using career planning to cheat money?

UC Headlines saw that they used career planning to defraud money: they held free career guidance lectures in colleges and universities to obtain students’ contact information, and then used “one-on-one” conversations to brainwash students to undermine their employment confidence, and then tricked students into joining the “Blue Ocean” "Plan" training, pay the training fee in installments.

In the "Hurricane 2017" special operation to crack down on outstanding crimes in the financial field, the Guangzhou Tianhe police detected a contract fraud case involving students from multiple colleges and universities in Guangzhou. Four suspects were arrested. After investigation, The case involved a total of about 4 million yuan in loans to more than 400 students from multiple universities in Guangzhou.

Since 2015, the company has successively contacted the leaders of university societies to hold free career guidance lectures on campus, or went to recruiters around campus to distribute questionnaires, hold various WeChat circle salons, etc. Contact information of school students, and then contact students by phone, email, etc. to a company in Zhujiang New Town for free employment and entrepreneurship ability assessment and explanation.

The company’s “instructors” use a “one-on-one” test format to deliberately analyze the students’ very poor recruitment competencies, comprehensive qualities and other abilities for students who come to take assessments. Destroy students' employment confidence and take the opportunity to recommend their company's so-called "blue ocean plan" to students. The plan includes a number of courses that can improve students' employability, and claims that the "Blue Ocean Plan" is an official support project with a training fee of 9,920 yuan.

For students who have no money to pay the compensation fee, they can pay in installments. The first 6 months are free. However, it is actually a decoy loan. The company will advance the loan repayment in the first 6 months. The students only need to pay 60 yuan. Students need to repay a monthly loan of about 700 yuan, and repay the training fee of 9,920 yuan in 18 months plus loan interest of about 3,000 yuan.

The company directly received the loan from the loan company and then ran away. The company also verbally promised to introduce job opportunities, use part-time jobs during vacations to earn loan repayment fees, and apply for a refund if you are not satisfied with the training. In fact, these were all fictitious and did not recommend any jobs.
