Obviously there is no online shopping but received a courier package, open the package to see, there are small gifts and lottery tickets, after scanning the QR code, you can really get a cash red envelope...... Be aware that there may be a trap behind this. Recently, the Public Security Bureau of Yuyao City, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province successfully detected a case of online swiping fraud, and collected the suspects in the red envelope drainage link in the case, and arrested 17 criminal suspects, with an amount of 3.167 million yuan.
On January 29 this year, a resident of Yuyao City, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, reported to the police that he had been defrauded. Resident Qian said that some time ago he received an unfamiliar express package, which contained a small gift and a QR code card, the content of the card is that the merchant launched a rebate activity to give back to old customers, and you can participate by scanning the QR code. Qian scanned the code and added "customer service" WeChat, and then was pulled into a WeChat group chat.
The group chat is almost full. Qian Mou entered the group, and the group administrators issued "welcome red envelopes" one after another, and Qian Mou clicked in one by one and received more than ten yuan of red envelopes. Subsequently, the group administrator sent a URL link, asking everyone to download an App, and at the same time publish a "public welfare task", which includes "browsing the store", "sharing the link", "writing a good review", "advancing money and swiping orders", etc., and the corresponding reward amount varies.
Qian was hesitating, and some netizens in the group sent screenshots, sharing that he had completed the task and received a cash red envelope. Qian tried to do a few small tasks and found that he could indeed get a red envelope. Gradually, he was not satisfied with small rewards, so under the temptation and guidance of the group administrator, Qian began to do a task with a large reward amount - swiping orders. For each completed order, not only the principal will be refunded, but also a high rebate. Qian completed tasks one after another in the app, and the amount of rebates was transferred to his electronic account, but he was never able to withdraw it. The "customer service" replied that Qian had made a mistake and needed to redo the task 10 times before he could withdraw it, at which time he realized that he had been deceived and called the police.
After investigation by the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Yuyao Municipal Public Security Bureau, it was found that behind several group chats was a telecommunications fraud drainage gang that used parcels to divert traffic and use swiping orders to send red envelopes to help upstream links defraud victims. The members of the gang recruited their relatives, friends, classmates and others to join each other, and there were different divisions of labor such as "red envelope hands" and "atmosphere groups". The main method of committing the crime is to pull the victim into the group chat through WeChat, so that the victim can make a small rebate in the group, and gain the victim's trust step by step. It is then diverted to the fraudulent app, where it continues to lure the victim to make a large order. After that, the victim was defrauded by means of operation errors, accounts that need to be frozen, etc., forming a red envelope rebate drainage fraud.
The investigation found that there were 148 accounts involved in the case, 36 cases of collusion and merger, involving more than 10 provinces across the country, and the amount involved was 3.167 million yuan. After ascertaining the criminal acts and whereabouts of the persons involved in the case, on April 8, with the cooperation of various police forces, 17 suspects involved in the case were successfully arrested in Guangxi, Guangdong and other places.
In recent years, there has been a high incidence of telecom network fraud cases such as order swiping, and "red envelope drainage" is a new fraud method in this type of fraud case. Fraudsters may publish various false rebate information through social software to attract victims, or use a large number of express delivery to attract people to scan the QR code to join the group and download the App, giving the victim some small profits, and then the online fraud gang will carry out online fraud on the victim.
Police remind: Be cautious of unsolicited couriers in your life, and do not scan QR codes from unknown sources or click on unsolicited links. In addition, the behavior of "swiping orders" is illegal and accompanied by a large number of fraud traps, so it is important to stay away from "swiping" and fraud.
