"Can you help me receive 12 million foreign currency and diamond necklaces?"
Face the plea for help from the "Syrian war doctor"
Ms. Huang, who lives in Guoxi, Ouhai, "can't sit still"
When you are about to transfer 20,000 yuan in shipping
The police arrived in time
A financial loss was avoided
……
In April, Ms. Huang (not her real name), who lives in Guoxi, met a "Syrian doctor" David Jin online. With a month of in-depth exchanges, the two became online "friends". During the chat, the other party will often share some photos and videos of the operation in the battlefield. Out of reverence for the profession of doctor, Dr. Kim gradually became an idol of Ms. Huang.
Recently, Dr. Kim excitedly told Ms. Huang that she had successfully completed her support mission and was ready to return to China in a month' time. Unable to carry a large amount of money, it is necessary to send 12 million foreign currency and a diamond necklace back to China in the form of a package first, hoping that Ms. Huang will help receive it. When the "hero" of the battlefield asked for help, Ms. Huang decisively chose to lend a helping hand and promised to help sign for the receipt.
But it's not that simple. This international courier needs to pay 20,000 yuan of freight, and the courier company will send the courier after payment. For Ms. Huang, 20,000 yuan is not a small amount. However, on the grounds that he did not have RMB and the value of the courier was not cheap, Dr. Jin sincerely asked Ms. Huang for help, and promised to double the repayment of this cost after returning to China.
In the end, Ms. Huang was touched by the sincerity of the other party. After raising 20,000 yuan in the afternoon, I was ready to rush to the bank to send money.
At this moment, the Guoxi Police Station of the Ouhai District Public Security Bureau received an early warning from the Anti-Fraud Center: Ms. Huang in the jurisdiction may be suffering from telecommunications fraud and is currently in the bank... After receiving the police, the police officer Jin Hui immediately went to the bank and kept dialing Ms. Huang's mobile phone all the way. However, Ms. Huang's phone has been busy.
Every second that passes, Ms. Huang's risk of being scammed increases by one point. The police rushed to the bank and found Ms. Huang at the counter who was preparing to send money. "Don't transfer money, don't transfer money, the other party is a liar." Jin Hui strode to Madam Huang and stopped her transaction.
"He's a field medic!" Be a great hero! On what basis do you say he is a liar!" Seeing the sudden appearance of the police, Ms. Huang was very puzzled, and her tone was full of anxiety. From Ms. Huang's dictation, the police probably restored the incident, and were more convinced that this was a fraud, so they and Ms. Huang analyzed each other's deception.
"Why do you take so much cash when you're out and about?" Are there no banks abroad? Now international money transfer is very convenient! Is it difficult to exchange foreign currency for RMB? Jin Hui's three consecutive questions poured cold water on Ms. Huang and also made her fall into contemplation. Looking back at the chat history with the doctor, it is indeed suspicious.
Under the patient persuasion of the police, Ms. Huang finally recognized the true face of this "Syrian war doctor" and gave up the idea of remittance. The awakened Ms. Huang thanked the police for their timely dissuasion, and thanks to his timely appearance, she avoided her own property losses.
In this scam, the outlaws impersonate the "war doctors" who have achieved great success, meet the victims through social platforms, and build friendships in day-to-day chats. Subsequently, the criminals claimed that they had a huge amount of "property" sent from abroad to the victims for safekeeping, but the victims needed to pay "freight" to "release". As soon as the victim sends money, the outlaws disappear immediately.
Police remind: online dating, must carefully verify the identity of the other party, involving money transactions must be vigilant, so as not to listen to or believe not to transfer money. If you encounter fraud, you should call the police on 110 in time!

Public security organs' people's police handling and investigations will always meet the parties by going to the door or inviting them to police stations or other public security places, and will never directly investigate and handle them by telephone or network, let alone require the parties to send money or transfer money. Inconsistencies with this, citizens can be regarded as suspected of fraud and can directly dial 110 to call the police.
A wonderful review of past issues
