It is said that you need to find the police in case of fraud, but when the "police" takes the initiative to call and say that you are involved in a fraud case, will you panic?
After receiving such a call, someone may suspect the identity of the other party and verify it repeatedly. Some people are dragged by the other party, report their various information, and even transfer the balance in the card to the account designated by the other party.
Why can impersonating the public prosecutor always deceive people? What would you do if the other party asked you to cooperate with the investigation or help you recover the stolen goods?
Pretending to be a police officer in the jurisdiction asks you to cooperate with the investigation
Chen Lao has been recuperating at home after retirement, and suddenly received a strange call on this day, the other party claimed to be a police officer in the jurisdiction, and also sent a picture of the office environment and "police officer card", and then said that Mr. Chen's bank card was suspected of money laundering, and he needed to cooperate with the investigation to clear the suspicion.
Chen Lao was very panicked after hearing this, because his bank card was not used indiscriminately, and he wanted to deal with it as soon as possible when this situation occurred, so he downloaded the software according to the other party's request and shared the screen.
The scammer also asked Mr. Chen to find a closed, quiet place to talk, and told him that after the funds were transferred to a "safe account", an inventory would be carried out first.
Subsequently, the other party remotely controlled Chen Lao's mobile phone and transferred the funds out in the name of helping to check the stolen money, and Chen Lao found out that he had been deceived.
Scammers take advantage of everyone's trust in official institutions to set up corresponding scams, such as through phone calls, text messages, the Internet, etc., falsely claiming that the victim is suspected of committing a crime and that bank funds are at risk, etc., to commit fraud against the victim.
Pretending to be a police center and falsely claiming to help you recover stolen goods
In another case of counterfeiting the public procuratorate, the whistleblower said: "After being cheated, I was anxious to recover the funds, so I searched for methods on the Internet, and saw an account number of the police center contact me, saying that they could help me recover the stolen goods, I thought they were from the public security bureau, and there was also a police receipt, they asked me to transfer a sum of money to the security account for verification, and I found out that they were fake after the transfer."
Scammers pretend to be public officials such as public prosecutors and lawyers, and gain trust through forged "office environment, work permits, and police receipts".
Regardless of whether it is voice or online contact, everyone should be cautious about transferring, and under normal circumstances, scammers will ask for personal information such as bank cards and ID cards through voice.
In addition to the routine of recovering stolen goods, scammers will also ask victims to transfer personal funds to a safe account for verification in the name of "malicious overdraft, abnormal account", etc., so as to deceive.
Identify counterfeit routines and raise awareness of prevention
Counterfeiting routines are ever-changing, and if you don't pay attention to verification, you can easily fall into the trap set by scammers, so let's take a look at the common methods of counterfeiting.
Obtaining information: Scammers pay to download from resume websites, buy private information online, and collect accurate information such as ID cards and mobile phone numbers.
Packaging identity: Prepare corresponding fake work cards, office environment pictures, and fake public security and law fraud, and also package phone numbers.
Fraud: After gaining trust, scammers use arrest warrants, indictments, etc., to forge screenshots and fabricate various reasons to guide the transfer.
Impersonating the public procuratorate and law fraud, the victim often out of trust, without verification to make a transfer, this kind of credulity can easily lead to being deceived, how can we prevent it?
Carefully verify: If there is a stranger's call or add friends, you should check carefully, and if the system prompts that the account is abnormal or the call is abnormal, you must carefully screen it.
Be cautious about transfers: Do not click on unfamiliar links, do not disclose personal information such as verification codes and ID cards, especially when it comes to transferring and remitting.
Enhance awareness: Even if the other party reports their own information, don't be gullible, the so-called checking of funds and transferring to a safe account are all scams.
No matter what picture the other party forges, how many people are asked to cooperate, it is important to verify the identity, and please keep your eyes open and see the true face of the scammer.
In addition to impersonating the public procuratorate, scammers will also impersonate teachers, leaders, relatives and friends, military and police, etc., so be vigilant.
Today
No one has the right to make someone absolutely never hang up the phone, and the transferred calls are usually calls from another scammer who has colluded with them.
In the same way, no one will force you to apply for a certain bank card, so in such a situation, please do not go to the so-called website to disclose your bank card information.
The police are the people who can help you the most, if even the police can't know about it, then this thing must be a bad thing, and it's the bad thing that the scammers are doing to you!
If the police called you, it would never be possible to have such a request, and finding a hidden place was just convenient for the scammer to deceive, so as not to be "nosy" and remind the victim.
PS is a big artifact, PS is a big artifact, PS is a big artifact, important things have to be said three times.
It is impossible for legal documents to be sent to you through the Internet, and if you have not broken the law, it is even more unlikely that there will be so-called documents, please do not click on unfamiliar links.
Now there is a thing called "number change software", which can overlay the correct number on the wrong number, so the number displayed on your phone will be the correct number of a certain department, but its real number is definitely not the one displayed on your phone.
The police won't come to check your money for no reason! Even if you check, you can't check it through the so-called "safe account"! This "safe account" is completely non-existent!
