"You have a new warning message, please check it in time!"
At about 16:00 on January 14, the Hehua Police Station of the Liuyang Municipal Public Security Bureau received an early warning message that Mr. Zhong, a resident of the jurisdiction, was being defrauded by the logistics customer service of the impersonating charger.
The situation was urgent, and the police on duty immediately dialed Mr. Zhong's phone number, but dialed it more than a dozen times, and no one answered.
In order to contact the parties as soon as possible and stop being deceived in time, the police decided to divide the soldiers into two roads, one group of people drove a police car to Mr. Zhong's residence to find it, and the other group tried to contact Mr. Zhong's family.
A few minutes later, the police finally dialed Mr. Zhong's wife's phone and contacted Mr. Zhong himself.
"We are the police of the Hehua Police Station of the Liuyang City Public Security Bureau, you are being defrauded, please hang up the other party's phone immediately, and do not carry out any operation on the mobile phone!" When he received the call from the police, Mr. Zhong was having a voice chat with the scammers and following the other party's prompts for the final operation...
Mr. Zhong said that he opened an online shop a few years ago and has not taken care of it much in the past two years because he has been busy with other work.
However, on the afternoon of the 14th, Mr. Zhong's online store received a buyer's message, saying that the goods could not be paid, suggesting that Mr. Zhong find Taobao customer service to verify, and "intimately" sent a Taobao customer service QR code.
Mr. Zhong did not think much, directly scanned the QR code provided by the other party and successfully found the "customer service". "Customer service" told Mr. Zhong that only by paying a deposit of 40,000 yuan, the online store can be used normally, and promised that the deposit will be returned after the online store returns to normal.
Mr. Zhong said that he had no money in his hand, and the "customer service" once again "intimately" informed Mr. Zhong that he could pay through online loans, and sent a video to teach him the operation remotely. Mr. Zhong completed the online loan according to the other party's prompts and was providing the verification code to the other party, when the police called and stopped Mr. Zhong from being deceived in time.
"Fortunately, your phone call was made in time, and it was really only the last step, and we were almost cheated of 40,000 yuan." Mr. Zhong's wife said excitedly.
"Earlier, I saw that someone around me was deceived, so I took the initiative to download the APP of the National Anti-Fraud Center and opened the early warning function. But the scammers also use voice chat to carry out fraud, which is really invincible. Fortunately, the national anti-fraud APP sent you early warning information in time to successfully prevent me from being deceived, and the national anti-fraud APP is really useful! Mr. Zhong, who was almost deceived, still had palpitations.
