When the police were puzzled, Xiao Xu's mother took the phone and said that Xiao Xu was deaf and mute and it was inconvenient to answer the phone. The police told Xiao Xu's mother not to do anything on her mobile phone, and then immediately drove to Xiao Xu's home.

It is understood that on the morning of the same day, Xiao Xu received a part-time advertising text message with a network link. After clicking on the link, an unfamiliar shopping software was downloaded and installed on the mobile phone. The customer service invited Xiao Xu to join the "part-time group", saying that the task of swiping orders would be issued in the group every day, and the platform would return the shopping money and pay the commission according to the completion of the task. Of course, the purchased goods will not be shipped as promised. If you want to participate in a part-time job, you need to upload relevant personal information such as ID card and bank card.

Xiao Xu thought that he had found a "good errand", and when he was about to operate, he received a call from the police.

"Have you transferred money to strangers? Have you been deceived?" In order to facilitate communication with Xiao Xu, the police immediately took out a pen and paper and communicated with Xiao Xu by writing. When Xiao Xu wrote "I didn't transfer money", the police breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, the police took out an anti-fraud brochure to show Xiao Xu the real case of swiping fraud, Xiao Xu watched it carefully, and finally suddenly realized. He pointed to the chat history on his mobile phone and waved his hand to the police, saying that he would never believe the scammer's words again.

Due to timely discovery and dissuasion, Xiao Xu did not suffer property losses. "It is not easy for children to earn money, so we must be vigilant in the future and beware of telecom network fraud. Before leaving, the police repeatedly instructed the mother and son to raise their awareness of anti-fraud and avoid being deceived.

Police remind

How to report to the police if a hearing-impaired person encounters telecom network fraud?

1. Entrust someone to call 110 to call the police and explain the scammer's account and related transfer information clearly.

2. Go directly to the nearest police station to report the case to the police by handwriting. If you can't communicate through handwritten Chinese characters, you can invite a family member or friend who knows sign language to accompany you to the police station to report the crime.

What should I do if I find out that a family member (friend) with hearing impairment is being scammed?

You can directly call 110 to call the police, and the police will quickly persuade you to stop the fraud in the form of door-to-door visits.

Beware of "text temptation" scams packaged as investment and financial management!

The inducement method of rebate fraud will deliberately avoid the word "swiping", and carry out fraud in the form of investment and financial management, part-time part-time jobs, receiving gifts, dating and making friends, etc.
