The goal of the subjects is not only to appropriate money but also to illegally collect personal data.

Common tricks include selling “real exam papers” and “100% accurate answers” ​​through fake social media accounts. After victims transfer money, these accounts block communication or send worthless documents.

Scams also include offering "100% pass guarantee" exam preparation courses and inviting people to sign up for "fake" online courses to steal money.

Fraudsters also take advantage of parents' desire for their children to go to university, offering to "buy" a place in the school at a huge cost and then taking it.
