This issue of the police fangyuan program will be a case study, telling the ordinary citizens who may become accomplices of fraudsters if they are not careful, what everyone can do in combating online fraud crimes, and remind them to keep their bank cards in order to prevent them from being used by people with hearts. In addition, the school season needs to beware of scams such as impersonating the class teacher to collect fees.
Precise stock selection, recommended? Fake!
At a press briefing held on August 19, the Nanhai public security reported a fraud gang that had recently been destroyed in an office building and used the method of "recommending shares" to carry out fraud. After listening to it, some listeners have left messages in the background that they have received some similar marketing calls, and the phone asked: "Sir, I am xx securities, recommend a stock..." "Madam, here are teachers live broadcast, accurate stock selection ...", at that time, I still felt nothing, after all, listen to what they recommended, there is no loss to watch the live broadcast, after all, whether you want to invest in buying stocks, ultimately it depends on yourself. But after listening to our show, I was really glad that I hung up the phone at that time.
Most of these marketing calls are stock referral scams. These scams will first look for some people with investment interests in various ways. They often use some social software to add friends extensively, cultivate good feelings through daily chat, and then reveal that they have some investment channels or know some investment experts, and they have made a lot of money from them. After you believe in them, they will pull you into some so-called investment groups, in which the so-called "mentors" and "trainees" are actually mostly childcare, and they will tout each other in the group, so that you have no doubt about the earning power of experts and mentors, and then "cut leeks" for you.
Real cases of "stock recommendation" scams
In June this year, Miss Wang, who lives in Luo Village, was pulled into a stock speculation WeChat group, there are about 120 people in the group, every day there are "mentors" in the group to teach people to speculate in stocks, and many people in the group said that they followed the "mentor" to speculate in stocks, how much money they made, basically never lost, it is simply like the god of stocks. After a period of wait-and-see, ms. Wang, who was moved, added the WeChat of a "Teacher Zhang" in the group and asked "Teacher Zhang" for relevant stock speculation knowledge. After following "Teacher Zhang" to speculate in stocks, Ms. Wang earned about 10,000 yuan. After tasting the sweetness, Ms. Wang also believed in "Teacher Zhang".
At the beginning of August, a message was released in the WeChat group: there was a new stock subscribed internally, and the stock needed 1 million yuan in the account to be eligible for subscription. Before making small money is a small sweet, now suddenly come a 1 million, indicating that it is time to cut leeks. Because Ms. Wang did not meet the subscription conditions and the new shares were released on these two days, Ms. Wang, who wanted to subscribe for new shares, remembered "Teacher Zhang" and privately asked "Teacher Zhang" how to operate. "Teacher Zhang" quickly sent a bank account number to Ms. Wang and told her that she could subscribe through this company account. Subsequently, Ms. Wang immediately transferred 300,000 yuan to the bank account provided by "Teacher Zhang".
On August 5, Ms. Wang collected another 680,000 yuan and transferred all three payments to the account provided by "Teacher Zhang". However, on August 11, Ms. Wang found that the new shares had not yet been released, so she asked "Teacher Zhang" for a refund, but "Teacher Zhang" said that the company's account was frozen and needed to be unfreezed tomorrow. At this time, Ms. Wang woke up and realized that she had been defrauded, so she called the police for help. At this time, she has transferred 980,000 yuan to the other party.
After receiving the report, the police quickly froze and sealed the relevant fund accounts, and said that Miss Wang was defrauded of the funds in the account, due to the disposal of the time, Ms. Wang "invested" the money, and finally was able to recover in full, without causing losses, it is really a surprise.
Such a simple scam
Why are you still "recruited"?
On February 1 this year, the National Anti-Fraud Center announced the top ten types of high-incidence fraud, among which the "recommended stock" scam was listed together with the well-known online loans, online brushing orders, "pig killing plates", impersonating customer service refunds, and impersonating the "Public Prosecutor's Law". In March this year, the Shenzhen police reported the investigation and handling of the Dalian Huaxun case involving an amount of up to 2.7 billion yuan, which was a shock. The company, a company listed on the New Third Board, has been subject to compulsory measures against 147 people, including the chairman. The police report showed that this was a professional stock recommendation fraud gang.
Who would have thought that the scammer's elaborate words and steps would be specific to punctuation? Teachers and students are fake, only you are a "real leek". Now the incidence of traditional crimes is already very low, and in some places there is even zero incidence. Criminals are 'abandoning drugs and cheating' and 'abandoning thieves from deception'. Why is it that when the anti-fraud offensive has been so powerful in recent years, there has always been a steady stream of victims?
There are two main reasons for this:
First, "the victim is overconfident." In our daily anti-fraud propaganda, there have been such people, distributed some anti-fraud propaganda leaflets to them, or asked them to install the anti-fraud center APP, but some of the masses did not pay attention to the content of the single sheet, and even turned their heads and threw it into the trash can, and the anti-fraud center APP did not set up relevant functions after installation, or deleted. Ask them why, and they all say they won't be deceived. In the end, I regretted that I was deceived.
Second, "the scammer's routine is too deep, the scammer's fraud method is changing with each passing day, and many people are deceived if they are not careful."
How to prevent it?
We have to look at the bank card in our hands. Because in order to evade the police investigation, fraudsters will certainly not use their own bank accounts to collect money. They will use small bargains to lure some unsuspecting people to offer them bank cards for fraud. In July and August, the police arrested several people who provided bank cards to fraudsters. When they were caught, they did not know that they had been used as online fraud for the small bargain of a few hundred yuan, and the bank card provided for the so-called friend transfer and online gambling was originally used as an online fraud.
Therefore, the general public is reminded: if there is an idle telephone card or bank card, please cancel it immediately or keep it properly by yourself, and if you find illegal trading of telephone cards, bank cards and other illegal and criminal acts, please call the 110 police in time to deal with it.
Emergency Alert! It's about the school!
Today is the first day of school on September 1st, after a holiday of relaxation adjustment, teachers and students have come to the new semester, beware of impersonating the class teacher to collect fees scams may appear again. Criminal suspects mixed into the WeChat group of the school class through various channels, modified the avatar, identity information, etc. to impersonate the class teacher, and then published the payment information in the group, and carried out fraud in the name of collecting book fees, material fees, etc. Be vigilant!
