國內30所虛假大學再上榜 詐騙手段新穎需警惕
A Chinese university information website has released a list of 30 fake colleges as students begin applying to universities following the annual college entrance exam earlier June.
在6月上旬的高考結束之後，學生們開始報考大學。此時，中國的一家大學信息網站公佈了30所虛假大學名單。This is the sixth such list released by . Prior to the latest release, it had already exposed some 400 universities as fake since 2013.
這已經是“上大學網”公佈的第六批虛假大學名單。在公佈最新名單之前，“上大學網”自2013年已經曝光了大約400所虛假大學。Netizens from across the country reported the names of fake colleges to the website through e-mail and social media. Website staff then investigated them, according to Xia Xue, founder of the website.
“上大學網”的網站創始人夏雪表示，全國各地的網友通過電子郵件或社交媒體，把虛假大學的名字發給網站，網站工作人員再進行相關調查。
The fake colleges are located in 12 provinces and regions including Beijing, Shanghai and Shandong.
這些虛假大學位於包括北京、上海、山東等在內的全國12個省份和地區。
Unlike in the past, when most of the exposed schools used deceptive names and official websites that resembled those of well-known universities, 22 of the 30 fake universities imitated the names of private institutions that provide training courses for the national adult education examination, which can also be used to seek a university degree..
過去，虛假大學大多使用與知名院校相似的假名字和官網。不過現在與之不同的是，本次公佈的30所假大學中，有22所是仿冒非學歷高等教育機構的名稱。爲了獲得大學學歷，有些學生參加教育機構的培訓課程，以參加國家成人教育考試。"It is easy to see through the trick when they fake the names of well-known universities, but it is more difficult to identify if lesser-known institutions are faked," said Xia.
夏雪說：“我們很容易發現仿冒知名院校的虛假大學，但很難鑑定假冒不爲人知機構的虛假大學。”The fake universities send enrollment notices, along with a bank account number, earlier than real schools and ask students to send tuition fees to the account before a deadline.
虛假大學會搶先一步寄出錄取通知書，其中附帶銀行卡號。通知書上告知學生將學費打到賬戶，逾期不候。Three fake colleges in the provinces of Guangdong, Shandong and Hunan shared the same IP address registered in Hong Kong, suggesting the same scammers are operating multiple fake colleges.
廣東、山東和湖南的三所虛假大學使用的是同一個在香港註冊的IP地址，這表明一個騙子操控着多個虛假大學。Education authorities are coordinating with police to investigate and close the fake colleges.
教育部門和警方正在協力調查並關閉這些虛假大學。
