Is Nanchang Meiyanshe Photography Scam Real?

The Meiyanshe photography scam is real.

I was looking for a job on 58.com and saw that they were looking for photography apprentices with a salary of 4,000 to 8,000 yuan a month. After I went there, they took us to a small room and gave us a lot of lectures, and we learned from scratch. The monthly salary for an apprentice is 1,500 RMB, and then they said that there is a training program that can quickly learn and the monthly salary can go up to 5,000, but if there is no salary, there is still training fee. We said that the previous unit just closed down and we didn’t get the salary and no money. They took out a loan, saying it was a kind of student credit, and they would pay it back after they finished their studies and were able to do so. They signed it in a daze and went home. The next week they asked for their previous wages, but they didn't get any. The loan software they were given sent me a message. I logged in and checked that the loan would be repaid in October. If I signed a contract in September, I asked them for a refund. They told me that they couldn't refund it after 3 days. The loan is 9800 with interest of 10858.4.
