Now the elderly machine is also starting to become the target of scammers!!
Recently, a new type of fraud using the elderly machine to commit crimes has appeared in many places, criminals are taking advantage of the loophole that "most of the elderly do not know how to use the elderly machine to scan the code on WeChat", to receive laundry detergent, paper towels and other small gifts as bait, in the name of registering a WeChat account for them, it is easy to induce the elderly to hand over their mobile phones to the criminals to operate, "small gifts" are received, but their real-name authentication and registration of WeChat accounts are used by fraudsters to carry out telecommunications network fraud crimes......
Laundry detergent scam
Su, an 80-year-old man in Deyang City, met two young people from other places setting up a stall when he was rushing to the market, claiming that he could get laundry detergent or laundry detergent for free by "sweeping". Su was moved by this "little cheapness" and decided to try it, but because he didn't have a WeChat account, he wouldn't apply, so he let the two young people take their mobile phones to the side and operate for more than half an hour.
The Anti-Fraud Center of the Deyang Municipal Public Security Bureau received a clue related to fraud issued by the Ministry of Public Security, which pointed to Su's mobile phone number suspected of a foreign telecommunications network fraud case, and the WeChat account used by the suspect was the one that Su had previously registered with two young people with his mobile phone number in order to covet free gifts.
Paper towel scam
Similarly, when Wu, a 72-year-old man in Deyang City, participated in the "receiving tissues" activity in the town, he was deceived by several outsiders to use his mobile phone number to register a WeChat account on the pretext of receiving gifts, and then sold it to criminals, and the suspect used the WeChat account to commit telecommunications network fraud against others. As a result, Wu's mobile phone number was shut down by the public security organs on suspicion of committing a crime.

"Health insurance door-to-door" scam
In March 2023, the gang headed by Zhang, with the business licenses and company authorization letters of two leather bag companies, under the guise of "responding to national policies and helping villagers activate electronic medical insurance cards for free to facilitate the masses", went to villages and alleys in some districts and counties in the province to provide "door-to-door services" for the left-behind elderly in rural areas, but in the so-called process of activating electronic medical insurance cards for the elderly, they took the mobile phone information and identity information of the elderly, and used their information to register Alipay, WeChat, APP accounts such as Douyin are sold to fraud gangs for profit. When they were caught, the gang had already made a profit of more than 50 yuan by this means.

"Anti-Scam Daily Telegraph" warm reminder
The majority of elderly people should not easily hand over their mobile phones to strangers for operation or leak their identity information in order to be greedy, so that the phone cards or bank cards handled by their real names have become tools for others to carry out telecommunication network fraud activities, resulting in themselves being included in financial and communication punishments, and the mobile phone cards and bank cards under their names will not be able to be used normally!
