Have you ever seen a scammer who takes the initiative to give you money? Can you still see through the escalating scam? There are enough baits to make you believe in the "sincerity" of the other party, but you don't know that the pit is waiting for you behind, and this is the case with Ms. Zheng's story.
Recently, the Chenghua District Public Security Bureau received a report from Ms. Zheng, a citizen, saying that she had been defrauded of 354,200 yuan for her investment on an online platform. After receiving the police, the police raced against time and immediately took emergency measures to stop payment, and after a race against fraudsters, the defrauded funds were fully recovered!
Case Introduction
In the early stage, Ms. Zheng posted information about the rental of the house on the rental platform, and then a netizen immediately contacted her to express her willingness to rent. However, when Ms. Zheng was about to add the "tenant" WeChat, the other party asked Ms. Zheng to download the designated chat app on the grounds that "it is inconvenient to use WeChat for work reasons".
On the chat software, after Ms. Zheng discussed the details of the rental with the other party, the other party happily transferred 8,100 yuan in rent and deposit. "I didn't even see the face, not even the house, so he transferred the money to me. Who would have thought that it was a scammer, how could a scammer transfer money first," said Ms Cheng.

Later, the "tenant" chatted with Ms. Zheng about local food and other customs and Xi, and introduced himself as the "technical supervisor" in charge of the operation background of a securities company, and also sent his "work ID" and "personal photo".
In the words of "upright, generous, and handsome", the pair of conveniences has established the image of a "successful person" in Ms. Zheng's heart, narrowed the distance, and won trust.

The next day, in a casual chat with Ms. Zheng, the "tenant" "inadvertently" revealed that he had discovered the company's "investment platform loophole", and as long as he bought and sold within the specified time period, he could "make a steady profit without losing money". However, due to work reasons, it was inconvenient for me to operate, so I invited Ms. Zheng to help log in to the platform to operate.
At this time, Ms. Zheng was a little hesitant, but when she thought that the other party hadn't even seen the house, she gave the rent and deposit, and because of this "face", she still clicked on the link sent by the other party to enter the "platform", and then under the guidance of the other party, she "profited" more than 70,000 yuan in less than 10 minutes and quickly withdrawd!

Seeing this, Ms. Zheng was moved, this is not better than working hard? That is, she asked the "tenant" with the mentality of trying how to register an account for "investment" on this "platform". And the other party also generously said that he could take her to invest together and helped her register an account.
After that, under the guidance of the other party, Ms. Zheng recharged 3,000 yuan to try and successfully withdrew 3,500 yuan. The second time, she recharged 8,000 yuan and withdrew 10,000 yuan. Gradually, driven by interests, Ms. Zheng increased her efforts and successively recharged more than 350,000 yuan for investment.

But the good times didn't last long, when she was about to withdraw, the system showed that the withdrawal failed, and after contacting the "customer service", she was told that she had filled in the wrong form when binding the bank card, and she needed to rebind the bank card to withdraw. Hearing this, Ms. Zheng realized that this was a scam that could never be withdrawn, so she immediately reported the case to the public security organ.

After receiving Ms. Zheng's report, the police immediately started the work of filing a case and took emergency measures to stop payment. Through the unremitting efforts of the police, the funds were successfully frozen, and all the funds defrauded by Ms. Zheng were recovered.
Ms. Zheng immediately chose to report to the police and provide the other party's bank account number, so that the police could take measures to stop payment before the suspect transferred the funds, and finally recovered all the funds intact.
The first way to prevent fraud is to stay sensible, refuse temptation, and be cautious about transferring.
Decryption of "fake investment and financial management" routines
1. Fake identity, small talk approaching. Scammers fake identities, first close the distance through small talk, and then pretend to be stock industry insiders and claim to have a way to make money.
2. Ask for help and operate to get credit. The scammer falsely claimed that it was inconvenient for him to invest, and asked the victim to help him operate, and the victim was moved to see that making money on the platform was almost risk-free.
3. Invitation to invest, fraudulent acquisition of property. The scammer invites the victim to invest together to make money, and after the victim recharges a large amount, the scammer quickly transfers the funds away.
"Panda anti-fraud" warm reminder
1. Be cautious about online dating, and don't trust strangers online.
2. Seeing is not necessarily believing, the other party says that it is inconvenient for him to operate, please help with the investment, do not believe the APP that the other party can control.
3. Protect the safety of property, do not click on unfamiliar links. Anyone who asks you to download an app or click on a link to invest through social platforms is a scam!
