The new semester has begun, and while freshmen are exploring campus life with curiosity, scammers are also becoming more active. Recently, students in Shanghai universities have already fallen victim to part-time job scams. These "low-investment, high-return" offers often hide fraudulent traps.
开学伊始，新生们刚刚开始大学生活，对于一切都充满好奇，然而诈骗分子也进入了活跃期。近期，上海高校已经出现刷单骗局受害者，这类“低投入，高回报”的兼职工作背后，往往隐藏着诈骗陷阱。
What is Paid Task Scam?
A "paid task scam" is an online fraud where victims are approached via WhatsApp or social media with offers of easy, well-paid remote work—such as liking videos or "product boosting." Scammers initially pay small sums to gain trust, then pressure victims to invest their own money, often in cryptocurrency, to access higher-paying tasks. Once a significant amount is invested, the scammers disappear, leaving the victims with substantial financial losses.
“刷单诈骗”是一种新型网络骗局。骗子通过微博等社交媒体联系受害者，谎称提供点赞视频、提升销量等轻松高薪的兼职工作。起初会支付小额报酬以骗取信任，随后诱骗受害者投入更多资金（常要求加密货币）才能接“高级任务”或提现。一旦受害人投入大额资金，骗子便立即消失，导致受害人遭受重大经济损失。
