Did you charge for the title evaluation of 6500 yuan? Municipal People’s Social Security Bureau: This is a scam.
Advertisements on web pages
Feng Chun ‘an (a pseudonym), who works in a cultural company, brushed a message on the Internet last year. A company claimed that it could evaluate junior, middle and senior engineers nationwide, but the evaluation could be fully refunded, so he paid a registration fee of 6,500 yuan, hoping to take a shortcut to get his favorite intermediate engineer title. But today, he didn’t get the title and didn’t refund the registration fee.
The title evaluation failed to refuse the refund through the agency company.
In April last year, Feng Chun ‘an saw an advertisement issued by Chongqing Jiuer Education Company to evaluate the title of mechanical intermediate engineer in Tik Tok. "Because of my work, I need an intermediate title certificate." He said that the company claimed that the pass rate was high and it was declared nationwide, but it was fully refunded, so it called for consultation.
The salesman of the company promised Feng Chun ‘an that as long as he paid the registration fee of 6,800 yuan, he would be able to evaluate in December of that year and receive the certificate in April 2024, and he also claimed to sign the Service Agreement for Title Declaration.
"I read the agreement, and there is no title review but full refund clause. I have some doubts, but the salesman said that after paying the money, you can sign a supplementary agreement, and the content can’t be fully refunded."
In order to dispel Feng Chun ‘an’s suspicion, the salesman also provided the company’s business license, which reassured Feng Chun, so he paid a registration fee of 6,800 yuan and signed the Service Agreement for Title Application and the Supplementary Agreement.
On November 29th last year, the salesman of the company informed Feng Chun ‘an that the title was not declared successfully through WeChat, and promised to make up the declaration. If the application is unsuccessful on May 1, 2024, you can get a full refund.
On May 1st this year, Feng Chun ‘an failed to declare his middle-level position again, and he can get a refund according to the Supplementary Agreement. On May 7th, Feng Chun ‘an offered a full refund. However, the company refused a full refund on the grounds that it used most of the expenses, which was rejected by Feng Chunan. The company was only willing to refund 30%, but was rejected by Feng Chunan.
The reporter was informed that at present, the two sides are still negotiating.
The company has been deserted.
Offline registration was rejected.
On May 30th, the reporter searched for Chongqing Jiuer Education Company in Tik Tok, and still could see the company’s agency title advertisement. The advertisement content was that the professional title of engineer was universal all over the country, and it was 100% covered, which saved the trouble and effort, but it was fully refunded.
In order to convince everyone that it can be packaged, there are also information such as the company address, photos of the company’s office space, business license, legal person ID card, and professional title certificate that has been processed.
On the afternoon of the same day, the reporter went to the 9th floor of Block E of Power International in Yubei District, and found that the company had been deserted, and the original office space had been replaced by a technology company.
The front desk staff of this technology company told reporters that the previous company had checked out in April, and their company was newly renovated in May this year.
The reporter also contacted a person in charge of the company, surnamed Zhang, who said that his company no longer accepts the business of intermediate title of engineer. "Now that the market supervision department is in strict control, we can only digest the stock in our hands first." He said that they sent advertisements for platforms such as Tik Tok, but he denied that they had "packaged" the advertisements. When the reporter mentioned the "but refundable" clause, he faltered.
When the reporter said that he needed a junior title, the person in charge became interested again, and said that he would act as an agent for the junior title, with a registration fee of 3,800 yuan and a time of 3 to 5 months.
When the reporter said that he was going to register in person and pay the money, he was very vigilant and asked the reporter many times what he did. Seeing that the reporter still insisted on paying the bill to the company, he hung up the phone directly.
"They all do this and accept online registration fees." Mr. Liang, who has paid the money for one year and still hasn’t got the title certificate, said that he once visited the company and found that the office space didn’t have the name of Chongqing Jiuer Education Company. When asked why the company name was not hung, the employees said that the previous one was too old and a new company name was being made.
Feng Chun ‘an said that in mid-May, the company refused to refund. He called the Jiangbei District Market Supervision Bureau to complain. Law enforcement officers came to the door and found that there was no company name, and the employees did not admit that they were employees of Chongqing Jiuyi Education Company.
"Finally, the employee took out the business license and found that the registered address was in Shapingba, so the law enforcement officers had to hand over the case to the market supervision department of Shapingba District." Feng Chunan said.
Paid agency suspected of fraud
Can report to the public security organ.
Pei, from Heilongjiang, paid a registration fee of 6,800 yuan on February 17 last year. In April this year, he was informed that he failed to declare successfully, but he did not get a refund. At present, Pei has entrusted a lawyer to apply for arbitration. The reporter’s investigation found that there are still many people who have been cheated in the country.
In addition to Chongqing Jiuer Education Company, many companies in Chongqing are also doing title agency. On social media such as Tik Tok, the reporter entered the keyword "agency title" and searched for a number of such companies, whose advertising content was similar to that of Chongqing Jiuer Education Company.
The reporter contacted a staff member of Shapingba District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. He said that they have received many complaints that the job title was cheated.
"These paid agency titles are actually used as bait to implement fraud." The staff member said that at present, the city is carrying out special rectification actions for intermediaries in the field of professional titles, focusing on rectifying false advertising, contract traps and false title fraud.
The Shapingba District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau reminded that if consumers encounter illegal acts suspected of fraud with the title of paid agency as bait, they can report to the public security organs, and the public security organs will investigate and deal with relevant clues according to law. If a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.
At present, the market supervision department of Shapingba District and Shapingba Human Resources and Social Security Bureau are conducting investigation and handling.
A little more news.
The Municipal People’s Social Security Bureau reminded that the title package is fake.
At the beginning of this year, for online intermediaries, "the title evaluation is only a full refund", which attracted the attention of netizens. The Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau reminded that it is false to review the title package, not to charge if it is unsuccessful, not to pass the promise before payment, and to declare a full refund.
The Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security reminded that after paying fees through social media, titles can be entrusted to companies and individuals, and after claiming to pay fees through social media such as Tik Tok, websites and small advertisements, titles can be entrusted to them, but the refund of fees and other methods are all suspected of fraud.
At present, Chongqing has not designated any intermediary or agency to handle professional titles. For the catalogue of professional title evaluation committees and organizations at all levels approved for filing, please refer to official website of the Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and charge professional title evaluation fees in accordance with relevant regulations.
