    Alipay Recruits 1,000 Traditional Performers to Fight Fraud

    Jun 14, 2019

    Mobile payment giant Alipay is recruiting 1,000 volunteers to participate in a campaign aimed at educating the Chinese public about online scams.

    Focusing on performing arts native to 10 cities and provinces, Alipay on Thursday appealed to kunqu opera singers, crosstalk comedians, rhythmic kuaiban performers and errenzhuan dancers to join the company in giving special fraud-fighting performances in several cities.

    In the notice, Alipay stated that the volunteers would be required to plan their own “lively and understandable performances” incorporating tips for uncovering scams targeting the elderly, laborers, and college students. (Image: VCG)
