Recently, a man hurriedly ran into the Third Ring Road Police Station of the Baijiantan District Public Security Bureau in Karamay City for help.
"Comrade policeman, I have been scammed, there are more than 30,000 yuan in the card, and the other party asked me to turn on screen sharing and asked me to transfer money. After the police heard keywords such as "screen sharing" and "transfer", they immediately determined that the man had encountered a scam. Fortunately, with the help of the police, his 37,000 yuan was saved.
On the same day, Mr. Liu, a resident of Baijiantan District, received a call from the "airline's customer service", saying that the plane he was on was delayed due to maintenance, and the airline would pay him 300 yuan. Subsequently, the fraudsters sent Mr. Liu a link text message to guide him to download the software.
Under the guidance of the other party, Mr. Liu downloaded the software and turned on screen sharing on his mobile phone. In this way, Mr. Liu's bank card number, verification code and other information can be seen at a glance in front of the scammer. After some operation, not only did the compensation not be successful, but the other party also claimed that Mr. Liu made a mistake. At this time, Mr. Liu felt that something was abnormal, and he remembered the telecommunication fraud methods advertised by the police office, so he hurriedly ran to the Third Ring Road Police Station in the jurisdiction for help.
Fortunately, when Mr. Liu arrived at the police station, the scammer had not yet succeeded. The police immediately conducted a comprehensive inspection of Mr. Liu's mobile phone, and at the same time reported the loss of all kinds of bank cards and credit cards, deleted the software that may be risky in the mobile phone, and opened the National Anti-Fraud Center APP to warn of incoming calls and intercept harassing calls. In the end, the police successfully stopped the payment of 37,000 yuan for the victim.
"This is a typical 'impersonation of customer service' scam. This type of scam is to capture the nervousness of travelers about changes in their itinerary before they travel. Scammers can accurately state flight and passenger information to increase the trust of scam targets, and with the temptation of refunds and compensation, travelers are easily gullible and gullible. The police of the Third Ring Road Police Station of the Baijiantan District Public Security Bureau said.
