The Beijing Winter Olympics mascot "Ice Pier" recently triggered a wave of purchases, resulting in "a pier is difficult to find". If someone told you at this time that he had the "inventory" of the "ice pier" in his hand, and there were many "memorial surroundings", would you be moved?

Don't worry, don't be more careful, don't fall for the "liar".
Recently, Mr. Liu of Jiangsu province met a netizen who claimed to be an employee of an art company, who recommended three sets of Winter Olympic games souvenirs such as Olympic commemorative badges, and said that they were of great collectible value.
Mr. Liu transferred 38,000 yuan to buy, after receiving the souvenir found that the texture was not good, the invoice was not formal, several requests for returns failed, and then found that the company has been written off.
This kind of fraud rubs the heat of the Winter Olympics, and there are two routines: one is to "shoddy", using souvenirs that do not have collectible value to impersonate and defraud high acquisitions; the other is the "empty glove white wolf", only under the guise of "Winter Olympic souvenirs", after receiving the transfer, it will be blacked out and disappear.

"Congratulations, you won the first prize in the company's Winter Olympic Rewards Raffle, and you will receive a prize of 18,800 yuan and a laptop worth 10,000 yuan." If you receive such a "winning" message, don't be gullible.
When citizens who believe that they are true contact with the prize recipient, the other party will ask the citizens to send money first under various pretexts such as needing a security deposit and paying mailing costs.
