On January 20, the reporter learned from the Heshan police in Jiangmen that recently, a mass member wrote a letter of thanks to the Heshan City Public Security Bureau and handed it over to the police, thanking the police for preventing themselves from being deceived by the "impersonation of the Public Prosecutor's Law" telecommunications fraud police, and recovering 190,000 yuan for themselves.
"1 minute later, my 190,000 yuan will be gone, thank you so much"! On the 18th, Ms. Chen, a citizen of Heshan, came to the Heshan Municipal Public Security Bureau and handed over a handwritten thank-you letter to the police, thanking the Heshan police for their rapid response and timely door-to-door dissuasion to avoid economic losses of 190,000 yuan.
On January 4, 2022, the Anti-Fraud Center of the Heshan Municipal Public Security Bureau received an early warning message that Ms. Chen, an employee of a shoe factory in Shaping Street, Heshan City, was being defrauded by the "Impersonation of the Public Prosecutor's Law". After receiving the report, the police immediately activated the high-risk early warning and dissuasion mechanism and quickly dialed Ms. Chen's phone, but her phone had been set up for incoming call forwarding and could not be connected. If you can't get in touch with Ms. Chen at this time, then she is most likely caught in a scam puzzle.
The situation is urgent, the police kept calling Ms. Chen's phone and text messages to continue to warn, and at the same time, the Joint Xinhu Police Station actively contacted Ms. Chen's family to dissuade her from going door-to-door. According to the relevant clothing characteristics information provided by Ms. Chen's family, the police expanded the scope of search for Ms. Chen's work and residence, and after unremitting efforts, finally found Ms. Chen who was still on video calls with fraudsters downstairs. After identifying themselves, the police immediately rushed forward to hang up Ms. Chen's mobile phone, fortunately, the funds in Ms. Chen's bank card had not yet been transferred out.
After the police learned, Ms. Chen received a phone call from a "00" on the same day, claiming to be a "police officer handling the case", saying that she was suspected of a money laundering crime, asking her to actively cooperate with the "police" investigation, and threatening Ms. Chen that this was a "police" case handling and could not be mentioned with anyone. A panicked Ms. Chen called through the QQ video and saw the man in the video wearing a police uniform, and she was convinced of his "police" identity. In order to prove her innocence, Ms. Chen, under the instructions of the other party, is preparing to transfer the 190,000 yuan in the bank card to the "safe account" provided by the other party. Fortunately, the police stopped it in time and avoided its huge economic losses.
Subsequently, the police explained the common types of telecommunications network fraud to Ms. Chen on the spot, focusing on the means and tricks of the "Impersonation of the Public Prosecutor's Law" fraud, teaching them prevention skills, and helping Ms. Chen log in and register the "Yi'an" anti-fraud mini program and the "National Anti-Fraud Center" APP, reminding her to improve her awareness of security precautions and not to transfer money easily.
The police remind that the public procuratorial and legal organs will show their documents or relevant legal documents in person when handling cases, and will not handle the case by telephone, fax, network, etc.; the public procuratorial and legal organs do not have so-called "safe accounts" or "verification accounts", let alone let the masses withdraw cash, transfer, and remit money; the public should pay attention to protecting personal information and not giving criminals an opportunity to take advantage of them.
