In the silence of the late night, many people choose to surf the Internet to solve the loneliness and loneliness of the moment.
Xiaowang in Hangzhou is no exception. But he chose a lesser-known website, and this click led him into a bottomless scam.
That night, while browsing the Internet, Xiao Wang accidentally entered an adult website, and various attractive advertisements popped up on the website.
Among them, a so-called "naked chat" link caught his attention.
To explore the secrets, Xiao Wang clicked and downloaded the relevant app.
Soon, he was contacted by a person who called himself an "activation specialist" and told him that he needed to register as a VIP in order to continue.
Xiao Wang, who believed that it was true, handled it, not only that, but he also completed various tasks according to the requirements of the other party.
As soon as Xiao Wang stepped into this strange online world, he met a so-called "instructor", who guided Xiao Wang to join an online social group of nearly 10,000 people.
In the group, Xiao Wang was told that he could earn cashback by gambling, and even though he was not familiar with it, he was attracted to seeing other people earning a lot of cashback.
Everything seemed to go smoothly at first, and Xiao Wang made several small investments according to the advice of the "instructor", and each time he was able to withdraw smoothly.
However, when the amount gradually increased, problems began to emerge, and his funds were trapped and could not be withdrawn.
Every failure is accompanied by a new solution from the other side.
From operational errors to insufficient credibility, every time, Xiao Wang was convinced and continued to increase funds.
In this process, he has transferred accounts 26 times, with a total amount of nearly 4.5 million yuan!
The last time he planned to transfer 800,000 yuan, he realized that his bank account was restricted and he could not continue the transfer.
When the night gradually faded and the first rays of light appeared in the sky, Xiao Wang suddenly realized that he might have been deceived.
A few hours later, he was awakened by a knock on his home's door, which turned out to be a warning message from the anti-fraud center.
In a panic, he rushed to the local police station to report the crime.
In the face of the police's questioning, Xiao Wang frankly said that whenever he hesitated and doubted, he would receive screenshots of large cashbacks, which made him believe the other party again, and also made him repeatedly fall into this online gambling.
This incident reminds us once again that the online world is full of unknowns and risks.
No matter how tempting the opportunity, you need to think rationally, avoid blindly following the trend, and not easily believe unconfirmed news.
At present, the incident has attracted great attention from the police, and has begun an in-depth investigation, hoping to recover the lost property for Xiao Wang, and at the same time ring a wake-up call for all netizens.
When this incident was reported by the media, it quickly aroused widespread concern in society.
Cybersecurity is once again a hot topic.
Many experts and psychologists have conducted in-depth analysis and discussion on this incident, hoping to provide anti-deception guidelines for the majority of netizens.
In today's digital world, the Internet provides us with unprecedented convenience, but at the same time it also provides soil for criminals to do evil.
Wang's example is just the tip of the iceberg, with many people being scammed online for impulse shopping, thrill-seeking, or trying to get rich quick.
Psychologists point out that behind the psychology of impulse shopping and gambling, there is often a deep sense of insecurity and emptiness.
The web provides a platform for this impulse to be "satisfied," but often ends up bringing greater loss and emptiness.
Cyber crooks often exploit people's greed, curiosity, and fear.
They create illusions and enhance the credibility of their claims through fake social evidence.
For example, the "large cashback screenshot" in Xiao Wang's case is a common tactic to reassure victims and make them continue to invest.
On the web, don't click on links from unknown sources, especially those involving money transactions.
For any matter that requires a transfer, you should first conduct an in-depth investigation, and it is best to find the real offline contact information for verification.
When encountering any decision involving large sums of money, it is important to think calmly or consult relatives and friends to avoid unilateral influence by online information.
In addition to personal precautions, all sectors of society should also take responsibility.
For example, governments and businesses can strengthen cybersecurity education to alert the public to cyber risks.
At the same time, strengthen the crackdown on online fraud and provide effective legal remedies for victims.
In addition, families and schools should also strengthen online education for adolescents to help them build correct values and discernment skills.
With the advancement of technology, online fraud methods are also escalating.
For each of us, improving our anti-fraud awareness is the key to avoiding becoming the next king.
