Xinmin Evening News (reporter Xu Chi special correspondent He Dong) "I have a friend overseas who wants to send me a New Year package, but I have to transfer 20,000 yuan in entry fees. "At about 9 o'clock this morning, Aunt Zhao, a citizen, wanted to withdraw a fixed deposit in the Shanghai Hongkou Garden Road Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China to transfer money to a friend.
The staff immediately came forward to understand the situation. Originally, the aunt said that a friend wanted to send a package to herself from abroad, but the customs intercepted it and had to pay an entry fee of 20,000 yuan to "release". Hearing this, the branch staff immediately judged that this was a telecommunications fraud.
"Auntie, don't worry, then contact your friends to see." Inspired by the staff, the aunt's mood stabilized slightly, turned on the mobile phone, turned on the speakerphone, and dialed the other party's phone. Who knows, when the other end of the phone learned that there were bank staff present, he immediately hung up the phone. After the aunt experienced this scene, she also doubted the identity of the other party. She said that this friend also met herself online. After continued persuasion from the staff, she eventually gave up the remittance.
