China News Service, Beijing, November 4th: Currently, registration for the 2027 general college admissions examinations in various regions has been launched. Judging from the situation in previous years, the registration node is the period when examination fraud is concentrated. Recently, the National Education Rumor Refutation Platform issued the "Ministry of Education's 2027 College Entrance Examination Registration Anti-Fraud Alert", which summarized the most common scams in the college entrance examination registration stage in recent years and reminded candidates and parents to be more vigilant.
First, I don’t believe in “internal supplementary registration” and “amount of agency registration”.
The National Education Rumor Refuting Platform pointed out that the college entrance examination registration work is coordinated, organized and implemented by the provincial admissions committees. Some provinces have stated in official documents that "overdue applications will no longer be accepted and no make-up registration for the college entrance examination will be arranged." In some provinces, in addition to regular registration, the provincial examination bureau will arrange strictly limited make-up registration. These supplementary registration arrangements are all issued by the provincial education examination bureaus and have common characteristics - fixed time, limited objects, unique entrance, and open conditions. The registration operation must be completed by the candidate himself in accordance with the official requirements of the Provincial Education Examination Authority.
The National Education Rumor Refuting Platform reminds candidates and parents to only look at the official documents of the provincial examination bureaus and not listen to any "internal information" as to whether there is supplementary registration, which candidates can make up the supplementary registration, and when. Anyone who claims that "internal supplementary registration", "amount of registration on behalf of others" or "can be operated by paying money" are all scams. Candidates and parents must not hand over their ID number, student registration number, and verification code to any "middleman."
Secondly, do not click on the "Registration Abnormal" or "Qualification Failed" links in the text message.
Some candidates may receive a text message saying "Your college entrance examination registration has not passed the review. Please click on the link to provide additional information. If you exceed the deadline, you will be disqualified." The link page fakes the official registration interface and requires you to fill in your ID number, bank card number and SMS verification code. Once filled in, bank card funds will be stolen. This type of scam takes advantage of candidates' high concern for "review status" during the registration period. In fact, college entrance examination registration review results, payment status, etc. can only be queried through the official registration system of the provincial education examination bureau. Education departments and examination institutions will not send separate "review exception" notifications containing unfamiliar links in the form of text messages.
The National Education Rumor Refuting Platform reminds you not to click on links, enter personal information, or provide verification codes if you receive "registration failed" or "eligibility abnormality" text messages from unknown sources. If you need to verify, please log on to the official website of the Education Examination Agency in your area to verify, or call the official consultation hotline to confirm.
Third, do not transfer money to any private account.
The college entrance examination registration fee should be paid through the official registration system of the provincial education examination bureau or the public channels designated by the official announcement. Fraud cases derived from "payment" are high. Criminals usually require candidates or parents to transfer money to personal bank cards, WeChat or Alipay accounts in the name of "handling fees", "activation fees", "expedited processing fees", etc. Once the money is transferred, contact is lost.
The National Education Rumor Refuting Platform reminds that the standards, payment methods and collection accounts for college entrance examination and other fees are subject to the official notice of the provincial education examination bureau. Please reject any request to transfer money to a private account, no matter how "urgent" or "internal" the reason is. Before paying, please check whether the name of the payee is consistent with the official announcement, and do not remit money to your personal account.
Fourth, be wary of the scam of "application for college entrance examination registration and obtaining preferential points".
Provincial recruitment committees have clear regulations on the registration requirements for the college entrance examination, as well as the conditions for applying for national special programs, university special programs, local special programs and other special programs, or for applying for the extra points policy. Qualification applications must be completed in strict accordance with the requirements and within the prescribed time. Criminals usually charge high agency fees from candidates’ parents by “handling talent registration, renting housing, applying for school registration, and applying for social security”, falsely claiming that they can obtain registration qualifications or preferential qualifications. In fact, the college entrance examination registration qualifications and various preferential policy qualifications are jointly reviewed by the public security, education and other departments and publicly announced. Candidates who defraud their registration qualifications and enjoy preferential policies by providing false personal information, forging or illegally obtaining documents, etc., once found, will be recorded in the integrity file, and their college entrance examination registration qualifications, admission qualifications or student status will be cancelled. In the end, not only will money be lost, but it will also directly affect the child's college entrance examination and career development.
The National Education Rumor Refuting Platform reminds that there is no room for “agency” or “packaging” of college entrance examination registration qualifications, and any promise that “you can get the qualifications with money” is a scam. Please do not hand over core materials such as household registration and student registration to any intermediary or individual for "handling", nor transfer money to any account that claims to be "qualified to operate".
