On April 24, a foreign tourist received a call from the "customer service" of an airline, asking him to download an app to operate a refund on the grounds of flight delay. Because of the gullible belief in the other party's words, he was deceived of nearly 100,000 yuan to call the police for help, and the police of the Siya Police Station of the Gui'an New District Public Security Bureau raced against time, urgently stopped the payment, and froze the bank card involved in the case in time to keep the defrauded money.
At 18:27 that night, the police on duty at the Siya Police Station received a report from a foreign tourist: "He has encountered a fraud of pretending to be a customer service to cancel a ticket online, and has now transferred 100,000 yuan." "The situation is urgent, and the police immediately notify the community policing team to verify the relevant account number according to the information provided by the informant, and carry out emergency payment stop work through the national anti-fraud big data platform.
After inquiry, it was learned that Ms. Liu, a tourist who came to Guizhou from Beijing, had just arrived at Yelanggu Scenic Area today, and at about 17 o'clock in the afternoon, she suddenly received a call from a customer service person claiming to be an airline, informing her that the ticket from Guiyang to Beijing purchased in advance was delayed due to flight delays and needed to be refunded, and invited her to download an APP for online processing. Ms. Liu didn't think much about it at the time, and carried out a series of operations according to the "customer service" guidelines, and the other party immediately told her that she would receive a "security code" on her mobile phone for her to provide, saying that it needed to be verified to protect the security of her account. Ms. Liu, who was gullible about the other party, received a text message from the bank reminding her to transfer 100,000 yuan in less than a minute after informing the other party of the "security code".
At this time, Ms. Liu realized that something was wrong and suspected that she had been scammed, so she quickly dialed 110 to call the police for help.
"Thank you so much, there are too many tricks of fraudsters to prevent it!" Fortunately, the response was reported to the police in time, and the police told Ms. Liu that the money was saved, and the money would be returned after a period of review. The police once again carried out anti-fraud propaganda on Ms. Liu, instructing her to install the "National Anti-Fraud Center" APP on her mobile phone and turn on the "real-time protection" function.
At present, the case is still being further handled.
Gui'an Public Security reminds that if the ticket purchased by the user needs to be refunded, it should be refunded directly from the original account, and will not be required to download an unfamiliar APP for other operations to refund. Fraudsters will often guide them to download designated apps, use mobile phones to share with the same screen, and guide them to log in to phishing websites to commit fraud, do not provide mobile phone verification codes to strangers at will, and be vigilant if they encounter similar situations, and call the police at 110 in time if they are deceived.
