Research on the Current Situation and Countermeasures of College Students Encountering Telecommunication Network Fraud—Taking Sichuan Universities as an Example

Abstract

Currently, telecommunication network fraud is on the rise, and college students have become one of the main victims, among which fraud involving fake orders is particularly prominent. This study conducted an empirical analysis of colleges and universities in Sichuan through a questionnaire survey, and found that direct or indirect fraud experiences have a dual impact on college students, causing multi-dimensional individual damage and social trust crisis to college students; and reversely strengthening anti-fraud awareness and risk identification capabilities. In-depth analysis shows that the reasons why college students are deceived mainly involve personal psychological weaknesses, the fraudsters’ sophisticated fraud methods, and the poor effect of anti-fraud education in colleges and universities. Based on this, improving college students’ ability to identify and deal with telecommunication network fraud can start from the three dimensions of college students, colleges and universities, and jointly carry out anti-fraud education to build a fraud-free campus.
