CCTV News:Not long ago, the police in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province cracked a fraud case in the name of handling students’ enrollment. The criminal suspects’ fraud methods are not clever, and they all use the old methods of this kind of fraud. But what is unexpected is that the suspect will be divided with the people behind him after the fraud is successful. Who is this person?
Although it’s been several months, Zhao Nvshi still can’t keep calm when she recalls the fact that her children were refused admission to school. In September 2019, when she took her children to school with joy, she was rejected by the school.
Victim Zhao Nvshi:There was no reply. (Teacher) It couldn’t explain this clearly. To tell the truth, I was shaking when I walked.
The school said that because Ms. Zhao’s admission notice was not issued by the school, she could not accept her daughter’s admission, which made Zhao Nvshi feel very surprised. The notice was clearly stamped with the seal of the school and clearly stated the name of the school.

Zhao Nvshi made repeated requests, but the school finally refused to accept the admission notice on the grounds that it was invalid. So how did this admission notice come from? This has to start from April this year. In order to get their school-age daughter into a better school, the Zhao Nvshi family started planning for their children early, but seeing that other children have made a start, their daughter has been unable to find a suitable school, which makes the Zhao Nvshi family very anxious.
Victim Zhao Nvshi:When you are in a large class in kindergarten, if you want to choose a school and choose a good school in March and April, you have to take the exam. Just want to give children a good school.
Just as the whole family was rushing about for their children’s enrollment, a friend told her that there was an education bureau cadre named Tu who could help the children solve the problem of "young to young".
Although a friend said that she didn’t know this Tu Mou either, Ms. Zhao heard that Tu Mou was very capable, not only knowing the principals of many schools and the leaders of the education department, but also being familiar with it, so she asked her friend for Tu Mou’s contact information and got through the phone.
"Great Talent" asked for 260,000 yuan, claiming that it could not be refunded.
Tu was very enthusiastic on the phone. He said that many parents of school-age children ask him for help every year, and with his help, these children have successfully entered school. Tu also said on the phone that he was absolutely at ease when looking for him to do things, and the money would be returned if it was not done.
At first, Zhao Nvshi didn’t intend to ask Tu for help, but ten days passed in an instant, seeing that almost all the children’s schools around her had been settled, but her children were still not settled. If she didn’t make a decision and missed the enrollment time, the children would lose the opportunity to enter a good school. So with the idea of giving it a try, Ms. Zhao dialed Tu’s phone again and asked Tu for help.
Dress up as if the leader took the initiative to pay for the documents when he met.
Ms. Zhao recalled that when we met for the first time, Tu’s dress was very similar to that of the cadres in the impression, and he felt like a leader. And when I met Tu, I showed her my ID card and showed her a lot of information screenshots.
Victim Zhao Nvshi:To tell the truth, at our age, it doesn’t mean that you are what you say. I’m sure I have my own ideas. Later, when I questioned him, he showed me the screenshot and who had done it. Then the admission notice, I took photos of everything and showed them to me, all with the red seal of the school.
In order to reassure Zhao Nvshi, Tu Mou took out a pre-printed agreement, and the two agreed that Tu Mou would help Ms. Zhao’s children to apply for admission to a key primary school in Nanjing, so as to ensure the children’s smooth admission in September this year, and if they failed to do so, they would get a refund.
Just once, I transferred it to the other party for 260,000 yuan on the same day.
Although only once, Zhao Nvshi was eager to win a chance for her children to enter a good school, so she gave Tu a benefit fee of 260,000 yuan that day, and Tu also promised to do it well. In this way, with the dream that children can enter key schools, Zhao Nvshi experienced a long wait from April to September.
Victim Zhao Nvshi:I took the children out to play. After returning from a trip, it was near the end of July, because other children were signing up at school one after another, and our child was still at home, so we began to contact him. He is still comforting us, saying that this is an internal trick, and he will definitely not sign up with them. Wait a while and rest assured. It must be a success.

Not long after, Ms. Zhao received the school’s admission notice and report card. Looking at the admission notice, Zhao Nvshi was overjoyed and felt that the money had not been wasted.
Victim Zhao Nvshi:Sent an admission notice. Then our child’s name is on it, and then an official seal is stamped. This is an internal admission notice of the school and must not be leaked.
What she never expected, however, was that when she took her children to register, there was an accident. The school refused to admit that the admission notice was issued by the school and refused to accept the children. This result was unacceptable to her anyway.
Victim Zhao Nvshi:I was already very suspicious at that time, so I asked him to say that no matter whether you can do it or not, you can refund my money and we won’t do it with you.
At this time, Tu still told her to wait patiently, and things will definitely turn around.
Victim Zhao Nvshi:He is still comforting us, saying that we can rest assured that things will definitely work out at that time.
Admission is rejected, and the other party shirks the refund for various reasons.
When Ms. Zhao contacted Tu for a refund, Tu always shirked it for various reasons. So in September 2019, Zhao Nvshi reported the case to the public security organ. So who is this Tu Mou, and did he go through the admission formalities for the children in Zhao Nvshi? With the admission notice and report card provided by Zhao Nvshi when reporting the case, the police handling the case immediately contacted the school on the admission notice.
Police of Tiexinqiao Police Station of Yuhuatai Branch of Nanjing Public Security Bureau Hongda:The answer given by the school is that these admission confirmation letters are all forged. First of all, its official seal is different from the official seal of the school.


The police decided that in order to illegally possess Ms. Zhao’s money, Tu Mou defrauded Zhao Nvshi’s trust with forged admission notice and report card, which constituted the elements of fraud, so he immediately arrested Tu Mou. During the interrogation, Tu confessed the fact and process of defrauding Zhao Nvshi’s money. The police found that Tu did not intend to enroll Zhao Nvshi’s children from the beginning.
Xu Chun, police officer of Tiexinqiao Police Station of Yuhuatai Branch of Nanjing Public Security Bureau:At the beginning, he said that knowing some people who can do these things can help you do these things.
After the parents listened to the lie and took the bait, Tu Mou pretended to be an office worker and met the victim. First, he showed the victim his ID card to create an honest and credible first impression, and then further convinced the victim that he really had the ability to get things done through WeChat screenshots and other forms. When the victim was cornered because of what he was doing, he came to ask Tu for help, and then the victim fell into their trap.
The police seized a large number of forged seals and admission procedures.
In order to cheat parents’ trust, Tu even forged the seal of the school and the education department. When parents asked for admission procedures, he forged the admission notice, stamped the fake school seal and sent it to parents. In Tu’s residence, the police seized a large number of forged seals and forged admission procedures.
Police of Tiexinqiao Police Station of Yuhuatai Branch of Nanjing Public Security Bureau Hongda:Some admission notices are printed on A4 paper, and then they are stamped with a chapter. Font, format and signature are basically random, and they are edited and printed by themselves.
In the investigation, Tu said that he only spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on the money he cheated, and the rest of the money was given to a person named Xie. Then who is this Xie Mou? Why did Tu give Xie the money he cheated? The investigation found that the trick used by Tu Mou to defraud Zhao Nvshi was actually learned from Xie Mou. Xie never came forward to cheat, but adopted the way of developing offline, and developed offline Tu and others. He taught Tu and others the means of fraud, and then transferred some money to him after Tu and others succeeded in fraud.
This Xie Mou, like Tu Mou, is also an unemployed person. However, Xie claimed to know a director of education, and through the director, he could handle some things that could not be handled by normal channels.
Police of Tiexinqiao Police Station of Yuhuatai Branch of Nanjing Public Security Bureau Hongda:We later found out that the so-called director of this education department was actually a fake person, who changed the remarks of the director of the provincial education department with her own WeChat trumpet, and then talked back and forth with herself, forging such a cheating process.
Use lies and a few WeChat screenshots to defraud trust.


The police investigation found that the scam fabricated by Xie and Tu was very simple, that is, using the fabricated lies and a few WeChat screenshots to gain the trust of parents. However, in less than a year, many parents, including Ms. Zhao, were fooled, and the total amount of fraud reached millions of yuan.
The police analyzed that the reason why such a simple deception can be successful is that the swindler took advantage of the urgent psychology of some parents who want their children to enter a good school.
Victim Zhao Nvshi:If this 260 thousand is spent on me, I may have to think about it for a long time, but spending it on children is just a shortcut and a gamble.
Parents who are usually cautious, when their children encounter problems, impulse often trumps reason. In this case, the deceived parents not only failed to send their children to a good school, but some even delayed their normal enrollment, which also had a certain impact on their children’s psychology.

The criminal suspect squandered the money obtained by fraud.
During the interview, the police handling the case told the reporter that in several cases of enrollment fraud in recent years, the swindlers used exactly the same tricks, taking advantage of the situation that parents had high hopes for their children and had no way to do things. First, they claimed that they could set up schools and education bureaus to lure parents to seek help, and then they defrauded parents of money on the grounds that they needed to do things. The police reminded parents to be vigilant at all times, especially in children’s affairs. At the same time, the police will also intensify the crackdown and strengthen preventive education, so that scammers have no chance.
