In recent years, I don't know why, there are more and more friends who have been scammed around.
Let me tell you what these scams are like.
First, take advantage of foreign high-paying job opportunities to defraud the security deposit.
Friend A is a skilled worker with a low diploma, but he has always had the dream of running to wealth, so he has always wanted to do some higher-paying jobs.
Logically, in China, skilled workers can also find a good job, but it will be a little harder. Friend A has worked on the construction site, also worked as a plumber, and also entered the factory, and his salary averages 5,000 to 8,000 yuan a month, but he has always felt that these jobs are both unstable and very hard, and he can't make any big money, so he has been looking for opportunities to make big money.
One day by chance, he saw a recruitment revelation on his mobile phone, which said that he was recruiting general workers who worked abroad. At first, this friend did not believe it, but when he called to inquire, the person in charge there explained that because some countries abroad have relatively small populations and labor is even more scarce, they need to import a large amount of labor from China.
This explanation also made sense to the friend, so he was quickly moved. But he also had a question about what if he didn't speak English or any other foreign language?
Then the person in charge over there told him that there would be a special person in charge of taking them to do things abroad, so they didn't need to speak a foreign language, and there were a lot of Chinese over there, so there was no need to worry about this problem.
In this way, this friend of mine went to visit this talent outsourcing company in Chongqing and listened to their training courses, in this process, friend A felt that this company was very reliable, so he quickly paid a deposit of 30,000 yuan and signed up, leaving his own relevant information.
Half a month later, he called him again and said that he needed to pay 10,000 yuan for physical examination and the cost of applying for related visas, even if he did not let them go to the hospital for physical examination at all, but said that because the distance was far away, they did not bother to go to Chongqing to do physical examination (the registered address of the fraud company was in Chongqing), and when they could forge a physical examination pass, Friend A still did not suspect it, but immediately followed by ten thousand yuan.
Friend A's family had also suspected and persuaded the friend that it was probably a scam company, but Friend A was convinced that it was not a scam company because he said he could find the company's registered address on his mobile phone.
Immediately after, half a month passed, and then called to say that there were some problems because of the visa processing, and everyone needed to pay another 20,000 yuan to successfully pass the registration review, this time friend A finally had some hesitation, but under the pressure of continuous urging there, plus he had already made tens of thousands of dollars before Friend A was not willing, so he continued to pay 20,000 yuan.
Finally, friend A waited for two or three months without results, called again, and it was already in a state of shutdown, and he finally realized that this was a fraud!
Heartbroken, I had no choice but to call the police, but when the police went to look for clues, the company had already been written off, and people ran away with money.
This friend A was cheated of more than 60,000 yuan before and after, and his salary for most of the year was thus adrift.
2. Mobile online financial fraud
Friend B turned out to be an ordinary hitchhiker, married a wife five years ago, and now has two sons, although life is not rich, but also happy. However, a fraud caused his wife to divorce him with her son.
Friend B was in a very ordinary night, under the introduction of a passenger, met an online money deposit software, according to the passenger, the interest rate of this software is much higher than the bank, put the money in, deposit 100,000 yuan, a month there is one or two thousand yuan of interest, after saying that the passenger also showed him his own withdrawal chart.
Friend B also raised a question at that time, the interest rate is so high this platform is not reliable, right?
At that time, the passenger gave the explanation: this platform is an online lending platform, it needs a lot of capital turnover, so it will make this activity, attract everyone to invest money, and this software will take everyone's money to invest, just like buying stocks, so it will produce such a high profit.
Friend B listened for a moment and thought it might make sense.
At this time, although friend B was moved, he would definitely not believe the words of a stranger. But then, a month later, he saw the software again with a relative and friend who was working as a nanny at a rich family outside, saying that the software was recommended to her by the family where she was doing it, and it really made money.
Friend B was moved, he thought that his relatives and friends should not lie to himself, so he also downloaded the software and was ready to deposit the money.
At the beginning, he saved the remaining two or three thousand yuan on his hand, and he wanted to try how the platform was, and sure enough, in less than a month, the platform showed that it had generated hundreds of dollars in interest. He also cashed out once, and sure enough, he also brought it up.
At this point, friend B's desire has completely swelled, he calculated, if he invests hundreds of thousands of dollars to enter, then he will not work a month and have a few thousand yuan of income? Once desire arises, it is difficult to suppress. So he borrowed money from banks, loans from online platforms with lower interest rates, and asked relatives and friends to borrow money on the grounds of doing business, and borrowed a total of more than 300,000 yuan, all of which were invested in that platform.
A month later, when he logged on to the platform to withdraw cash, the platform displayed that your account had been frozen for abnormal reasons, please submit a deposit of 10,000 yuan to unfreeze. Friend B began to realize that something was wrong, he was already a little flustered, because these 300,000, not only all his savings, but also the huge debt he owed, if there was really no more, for him, it was like a world apart.
In this case, the platform is still popping up messages urging the unfreezing: please submit the unfreezing deposit within 24 hours, otherwise our platform will confiscate all illegal assets and sue the judicial authorities.
In the panic, sanity has been completely lost, friend B did not delve into the authenticity and logic behind these messages, and continued to make up some reasons to put together the deposit submission, until the deposit is still displayed after the deposit platform still shows the user abnormal failure, he gradually realized that this is a scam.
In anger, he went to find the relative and friend to settle the accounting theory, and his relative and friend were also looking for her master family theory to do things, and finally helplessly reported to the police, only to find that the three people were victims, the master's family invested more than half a million, the relative and friend were cheated of tens of thousands of yuan, and this friend B was cheated out of more than three hundred thousand, his wife also took his son to divorce him, and life gave him a fatal blow.
The above two stories are real cases that happened around me, I hope that after reading them, you will be vigilant, don't be greedy, don't always think of flying to make a fortune, stay humble, and don't have illusions about things other than your own ability.
