A few days ago, a young woman named Xiaomei was lured into a supposed job interview through a popular online chat tool. Her interviewer then allegedly attempted to sexually assault her.

Police say that it is common for young women to be lured into meeting in person through popular chat tools like Moumou and Weixin. Authorities remind students to verify the identity of their contact, even though online job searches are more convenient. They have also been advised not to meet with strangers alone.
