Academic Plan
I suffered from telecom fraud at the end of January, but I didn't realize that I had been cheated during these two months. I didn't find out about the scam until the end of the month, but luckily I haven't lost any money.
During this period, the fraudster put a lot of psychological pressure on me in the name of the Chinese police. For example, Report your whereabouts on time and cooperate with the investigation so that I can be cleared sooner. In the past two months, I locked myself at home except for the classes I had to attend. I felt very depressed every day. Until April 1st, the swindler said that he needed me to provide a bond to extend my time in Canada to cooperate with the investigation. The amount demanded was as high as rmb 1.5 million. The swindler also gave me an email template and asked me to try to cheat my family out of the money. This made me very suspicious, so I went to the apartment building where I was staying the next day to find my friend, and we called the embassy and found out that it was a form of telecom fraud.
Later I learned from the embassy and online cases that the link they gave me may contain a virus, so my computer except for nearly two months of problems. For example, the chemical report website can not be accessed, and may even reveal a lot of my personal information. Always on the advice of my embassy and friends, I simply disconnected Skype, the video conferencing software used by the fraudster, and deleted the app. But the email template that let me to deceive my parents is still there, and if I log into the app again, I don't know if they have deleted the chat history (if they can find it, it will be all in Chinese, because they pretended to be Chinese police). I still wish I didn't have to remember that time.
However, my academic scores was seriously affected by my neglect in these two months: I missed some assignment deadlines, so I could not preview the courses taught by the professor on time. I was very annoyed at the time I had wasted.n the new semester, I will learn from this experience and improve my awareness of prevention. Let this kind of thing will not happen to me again, I will remind other students, let alone let this kind of thing affect my Queens' life.
