The state wants to allocate 1 million yuan to an old man, why does this matter sound so mysterious?
……
"It's the first time I've used my mobile phone to transfer money to someone else today, why can't I transfer it all the time?
Not long ago, an elderly man came to the suburban branch of the Huoshan County Branch of the Agricultural Bank of Anhui Province and asked for an adjustment of the quota.
"Hello, Auntie, why do you need to adjust the limit?" Seeing that he was older and worried that the old man would be defrauded, the head of the branch further inquired about the specific situation.
During the inquiry, the staff found a strange phenomenon: every time the elderly tried to transfer money through the palm bank, they needed to switch to a WeChat group to find the account number and payee.
This aroused the vigilance of the staff, "It's really cold this day, everyone is reluctant to go out, Auntie, are you working around here, or are you retired?" The staff took the initiative to talk to the old man.
"I have long since retired, and I stay at home every day, and during this time I participated in a project, and I was asked to transfer money, but I couldn't transfer it, so I had to come to the bank. The old man replied.
As soon as the word "project" came out, the staff became more vigilant and hurriedly asked about the project situation of the elderly and whether they were familiar with the payee.
The old man said that she was not familiar with the payee, but she quietly told the staff: a state agency wanted to allocate 1 million yuan to her, and she needed her bank card to have a flow, and the payee suggested that she "brush" the flow higher. The staff was shocked when they heard this, and determined that the old man had most likely encountered telecommunications fraud, so he hurriedly dissuaded the old man, and offered to drive the old man to the relevant government departments for verification.
After listening to the staff's knowledge about telecom fraud, the old man said that he did not plan to do this business for the time being, and then left the bank branch in a hurry.
After reporting to the branch and the anti-fraud center, the staff of the branch were still not at ease, and paid close attention to the bank accounts of the elderly to ensure the safety of their accounts. With a high sense of responsibility and keen insight, the bankers have guarded the people's "money bags".
