The crooks only use 3 steps

it will squeeze you dry

Why never wake up people who have been brainwashed by scam platforms? Why are many people still recruited in projects that clearly fool people? How do these "money masters" make people willing to be deceived? The police introduced the scammer tricks.

Step 1: Drainage → layout

Criminals add friends to victims through social software such as QQ, WeChat, and Soul, or post and advertise on online platforms such as public accounts, microblogs, short video platforms, and Zhihu, saying that there are investment channels to attract the attention of victims.

Subsequently, people were pulled into the group and the "water army" was organized to play the role of investors in the group, showing the income situation and misleading the victims.

Step 2: Brainwashing → induction

Criminals brainwash the victims through live tutorials, mentor guidance and other methods in the group chat, through high-yield investment projects, steady profits and no losses and other pretexts to make the victim interested, send a link or QR code to the victim, induce the victim to download the false investment platform App, and then invest through the "mentor induction" after the victim is successfully hooked.

Step 3: Sweets are harvested →

Criminals usually give the victim a taste of sweetness with small income, and then continue to induce the victim to increase the amount of investment, looking at the investment account has a lot of money but can not be withdrawn, the victim will consult the mentor played by the scammer, etc., the scammer will explain why the withdrawal failed for various reasons such as "abnormal login", "server maintenance", "bank account freezing" and so on. Immediately after, the victim will take advantage of the victim's eager withdrawal and blind obedience, collect the so-called "security deposit" and "unfreeze gold", guide the victim to "brush the bank flow", etc., and induce the victim to transfer money again until it is squeezed dry.

Remember that the words of the "financial master" cannot be trusted

So, how do these "money masters" make people willing to be deceived?

1. Fuzzy speech Technique Psychological misleading

"My salary is only 2500 yuan, others ask me about my income, I said it was not 20,000 yuan, I am right." This kind of vague rhetoric and psychological misleading is a common routine used by "financial masters".

They are familiar with well-designed rhetoric, and at the right time, they steal the object of thought, obscure concepts, and mislead you into wrong or irrational actions through specious words.

If you care about the benefits, secretly exchange the N-year returns for "N times"; if you care about the risks, say the cooperation intention as the actual project; if you care about the project prospects, exaggerate the general business transactions into strategic cooperation... People who do not have strong rational thinking can easily be biased.

Reminder: Life or work, but when it comes to money, we must have more eyes and more rational thinking.

2. Gu Pan Zixiong Authority effect

"People are small and light, and people are expensive and heavy", which is the "authority effect". People always think that the thoughts, actions, and language of authority figures are often correct, and that obeying their guidance will give them a "sense of security."

"Wealth management masters" are well versed in the essence, so they like to put various "tall" titles on themselves, and then tell you how to invest in financial management with a detached attitude.

In the face of investors, they have no scruples, sharp views, and strive to create a strategic momentum, in order to compete for a psychologically strong position, so that you dare not question them. In the face of "authority", ordinary people can easily lose the ability to question, which means losing the opportunity to seek the truth.

Reminder: There are no absolutes in the world, and 99% of the words of the "financial master" that make a steady profit and do not lose money and have a high return on micro-investment are lies.

3. Stir up emotions and stimulate desires

When a person is emotionally superior, there is no reason to speak of. A common routine of "financial masters" is to trigger your anxiety and panic about poverty through continuous chat or financial training, and then stimulate your desire to get rich.

They paint a picture of the project in a frenzied way, giving the impression that whoever abandons the project is a fool. So, no matter what way you do it, you'll get the money out first. People who do not have strong control over their emotions can easily be instigated by scammers and live in dreams woven by scammers.

Reminder: Whoever boasts that the principal of thousands of yuan can achieve wealth freedom through financial management, and the annual income of millions of yuan must be fraud!

4. Group pressure Conformist psychology

"There was a child in the kindergarten who cried, and soon the whole class also cried, except for the first child, who didn't know the reason for crying."

People have an innate herd mentality, which can easily evolve into blind obedience, and blind obedience tends to fall into deception.

Many of the victims of investment and financial management are first pulled into a certain "stock speculation group", and then the "investment white" in the group asks questions and consults experience, and the "financial master" talks and enthusiastically answers, and finally everyone posts various income screenshots in the group and publishes investment experience.

Reminder: Do not join the "investment group" that is full of strangers, and do not trust the screenshots of the income posted by the "friends" in the group. One night of getting rich is a scam, and two nights of getting rich is also not believed.

Ask

Before investing

Let's start with the following questions

1. Where do you see what ads?

Reminder: Advertisements seen on Weibo, short videos, and Zhihu's comment area claiming to have inside information are all tricks used by scammers.

2. How do you download the Investment & Wealth Management App?

Reminder: Investment apps downloaded through unofficial app markets such as links are all black platforms.

3. What account do you top up?

Reminder: If you request to transfer money to a personal account or a public account that does not match the name of the platform, it is a black platform.

4. Is there any bet that makes you bet?

Reminder: As long as the platform has a betting mode, there is no doubt that it is a black platform!
