April 18,
Fengxian Public Security Bureau
Received a report from Mr. Liu, a citizen
Buying cigarettes online in groups has been scammed
Mr. Liu previously added a WeChat friend to the WeChat group, and recently found that the other party posted a message in the circle of friends, saying that he could buy cigarettes in groups and deliver them to his door. Mr. Liu believed it to be true, immediately became the head of the group, and organized a group purchase. After several communications, he confirmed the brand and quantity of cigarettes with the other party, and transferred 5380 yuan to the other party to buy cigarettes.
But after the other party receives the payment
Delay in delivering cigarettes to the door
Shipments have been delayed
After a few times of communication
Mr. Liu found himself blocked
That's the reaction
I should have been deceived
After receiving the report, the criminal investigation detachment of the Fengxian Branch of the Public Security Bureau immediately launched an investigation into the case. Through the clues provided by Mr. Liu, the police arrested the criminal suspect Wu Moumou in a hotel on Hengnan Road in Minhang District.
After investigation, the criminal suspect Wu Moumou did not have a tobacco monopoly retail license at all, and in the absence of group purchase channels, he only published false information in the WeChat circle of friends that could buy cigarettes online and deliver them to the door, and then sat and waited for the victim to take the bait.
Wu Moumou Suspect:
Add my friend and ask me how to sell cigarettes, and then I gave him an offer and collected his money, probably he had to buy dozens of cigarettes, and I didn't send him the corresponding goods after receiving his money.
Cigarettes are a special commodity
Dealing in tobacco monopoly products
A tobacco monopoly license must be obtained
And there is a fixed place of business
At present, Wu Moumou has been taken criminal compulsory measures by Fengxian Public Security in accordance with the law for suspected fraud, and the case is being further tried.
Police alert
In the process of group buying, citizens should pay attention to identifying authenticity, carefully verify the relevant situation, do not trust personal peddling behavior, and clarify whether the target of "community group buying" is reliable and whether the source of goods is safe. In addition, we must do a good job of evidence retention, and once we find that we have been deceived, we must report to the police in time.
