The Wire Fraud Bureau has come up with a "new trick"
The scammer actually "kindly" reminded not to be fooled?
Aunt Wang encountered an annoyance
A staff member who claimed to be a staff member of the Cyberspace Administration of China
The call informed her that her identity had been spoofed
Thousands of people have been fooled and lost!
recently
The police station received a call from Aunt Wang
Inquire about the process of changing your ID card information
The police felt that something was wrong
I patiently communicated with the elderly
And after learning what happened
The police immediately noticed the old man
It's a telecom network scam
So he quickly rushed to the old man's home
Carry out dissuasion efforts
After investigation
Aunt Wang received it recently
An unfamiliar video call
The other party claimed to be a staff member of the Cyberspace Administration of China
At the same time as informing Aunt Wang that she was suspected of violating the law
Also sent to the old man a card claiming to be
Photograph of the suspect arrested in mid-February
The other party asked the old man to join
A "Case Investigation Chat Group"
and provide the bank card number in the group
It is used to prove that the identity information is indeed used by another person
furthermore
The other party also sent several phone numbers one after another
It is said to be a scam call that has been seized
Remind the elderly not to pick it up
See what this "staff member" said
Aunt Wang couldn't help but start to worry
But because of his age, he doesn't know how to use electronic devices
Therefore, in addition to providing the last four digits of the other party's bank card number
The elderly could neither transfer money nor provide more information
The "staff member" then told Aunt Wang
Will be in touch with her again in a few days
Aunt Wang was worried
Ask the community police about changing your ID card
The police are based on the same type of fraud cases
Analyze and dismantle the deception used by the other party one by one
Let Aunt Wang come to her senses completely
Keep congratulating yourself for contacting the police before suffering a loss
and said that he would not contact the other party again
Internet scams are ever-changing, beware of being fooled and overthinking, especially when elderly friends encounter strange calls and strange text messages, do not easily believe what the other party says, be sure to communicate with the children at home, if you really can't distinguish the authenticity, you can also contact the community police or the local police station for consultation.
