Caution!
Beware of being a "tool" for scammers to launder money
Case review
On April 1, Ms. Wang, a citizen, went to the Huayang Police Station to report to the police, saying that a netizen transferred 100,000 yuan to her through another person's account and asked Ms. Wang to help transfer it to an account.
It is understood that in January this year, a netizen added Ms. Wang as a friend through a short video platform. He claimed to be an active soldier serving in other places, and after seeing Ms. Wang's video, he felt very eye-catching and expressed his hope to learn more about Ms. Wang. Ms. Wang, who was single, was attracted by the identity of the other party's "brother soldier" and humorous conversation, and after a period of chatting and exchange, the two confirmed their relationship through the Internet.
After the relationship warmed up, the other party recommended Ms. Wang to download a software called "Pien Tze Huang" for investment, and said that the investment was reliable and the return was rich. Ms. Wang immediately thought of the typical case of the recent anti-fraud propaganda, raised her vigilance, and rejected the other party's invitation.
Then, the other party said that her mother could pay for the recharge, and Ms. Wang could operate it on the software. Ms. Wang was skeptical and agreed. After a few days of operation, Ms. Wang gradually relaxed her vigilance when she saw that the income of her account was increasing.
One day, the other party suddenly said that there was a problem with his mother's account and he could not continue to recharge, and it was inconvenient for him to go to the bank to transfer money in the army, so he wanted to transfer 100,000 yuan to Ms. Wang's account through a friend, and then Ms. Wang transferred it to another designated bank card, so that he could continue to recharge.
Ms. Wang was very puzzled, but a few minutes later, she really received 100,000 yuan from someone else. But the more Ms. Wang thought about it, the more strange she felt, so she told her friend about the situation, and the friend reminded her that this was likely a "money laundering routine" and suggested that Ms. Wang call the police immediately!
The police immediately checked the identity of the transferor. The other party was very puzzled: "I transferred money to my boyfriend, why did the police call to verify?" It turned out that the transferor, Ms. Zhou, also met the "soldier brother" through the Internet, and not long after confirming the relationship, the other party said that her mother was hospitalized and needed money urgently, so she borrowed 100,000 yuan from Ms. Zhou. And this 100,000 yuan is the money that went to Ms. Wang's account!
As long as Ms. Wang follows the instructions of "Brother Bing" and transfers 100,000 yuan to the designated account, his trick of "golden cicada shelling" will succeed, and the money will fall into the pocket of the scammer. But what "Brother Bing" never expected was that Ms. Wang woke up in time and called the police, and the liar finally "lost the bamboo basket"!
On the afternoon of April 1, the police of Huayang Police Station returned 100,000 yuan in cash to Ms. Zhou and carried out anti-fraud publicity and education.
