At about 14:50 on March 17, 2024, the Zhuantang Police Station of the West Lake Public Security Bureau received an early warning from the Anti-Fraud Center that the mobile phone of the party Ms. Chen (pseudonym) was transferred by the call and could not be contacted. The words "call transfer" and "unable to be contacted" made Chen Lingchao, an anti-fraud information officer, nervous all of a sudden, but he was not in a hurry, and while quickly inquiring about Ms. Chen's daughter's phone number to understand the situation in a timely manner, after obtaining the specific location, he assigned Xu Guangyang and Zheng Shengquan, members of the anti-fraud dissuasion team, to rush to the scene.
After arriving at the scene, the party Ms. Chen was not at home and her mobile phone could not be connected, Xu Guangyang and Zheng Shengquan learned that Ms. Chen had gone to walk the dog, and acted quickly and immediately searched for her along the route that Ms. Chen usually walked the dog on. As the minutes ticked by, Ms. Chen's phone still couldn't be reached. The two anti-fraud team members searched all the way, and finally found Ms. Chen, who came back from walking her dog more than 20 minutes later.
"I always buy things on that video app, and I also like to post videos on it, and then I received a call starting with 171 at about 7 pm yesterday, March 16, saying that I could learn video editing for free. ”
"After the phone call that day, I didn't say yes right away, and when I called again today, I was pulled into a free learning group, and later, I don't know what happened, my phone was restricted. ”
Listening to Ms. Chen's statement, looking at the messages in the group, and Ms. Chen's mobile phone being "called forwarded", this is the fraud routine of fraudsters.
After the "call forwarding" through the mobile phone, the public security organs will not be able to get in touch with the victim, so they will buy more time for the fraudsters to carry out the fraud, and after the "call forwarding" is used by the criminals, it will move the bridge between the "victim" and the "real police".
Ms. Chen was fortunate that she had timely warning, timely police dispatch, and timely dissuasion, and successfully saved nearly 52 more than 52 yuan in Ms. Chen's account.
