Parents warned to beware of enrollment fraudsters

Colleges should do more to help tackle scams relating to enrollment in higher education, providing more transparent enrollment procedures and updating their websites in good time, prosecutors and judges have said.

With some colleges still enrolling students into September, prosecutors warned parents not to take chances and risk falling into traps set by fraudsters accepting money for enrollment in fake institutions.

Prosecutors in Beijing said the number of such cases has grown in recent years.
