"class teacher" charges parents for adding wechat? don't rush to transfer money, this "class teacher" is not that "class teacher" and he/she may be a scammer! recently, many parents of students in a middle school in suining, jiangsu province were deceived by this.

shortly after the start of the school year, a class teacher at a middle school in suining sent a message in the class group on wechat saying that "students need to pay for this semester's living expenses." mr. wu, who was driving, parked his car on the side of the road and was about to transfer money when he saw a message about adding a friend through the group chat "class group." the avatar and nickname were exactly the same as those of the class teacher who had just spoken in the group. seeing that it was the class teacher who added the friend, mr. wu immediately clicked "agree to friend verification" without saying a word and transferred the money.

however, the person mr. wu transferred the money to was the fake head teacher. it was learned that there were three other parents in the class who also suffered the same scam as mr. wu. how did the scammer get into the parent group? it turned out that the school published the group qr codes of each class for the convenience of parents, which gave the scammer an opportunity to take advantage of it. at present, the case is under further investigation.

the police remind: when receiving such transfer information, be sure to verify it with the school or other parents of students as soon as possible by phone or in person. in addition, the school must also assume the responsibility and obligation of group management, and effectively manage the group members. once fraud or other illegal activities are found in the group, clarify the information through formal channels as soon as possible to prevent parents from being deceived.
