When people reach middle age, it is a process of breaking their teeth and swallowing them in their stomachs.
10 years ago, when I heard "if you can do it, if you can't do it, get out, if you don't do it, someone will do it", I was angry; 5 years ago, it was disdainful; Now, it's patience.
It's not that I haven't thought about it, like the post-00s who willfully flipped the table to the boss, but I always persuaded myself to calm down after half a second:
不能裸辞,社保会断。
The workplace has been jumping, and the chicken feathers in the family have not treated me well for half a point.
What does it mean to "enjoy the world first for the brave"? If you want me to say, you don't need to be brave to "enjoy" the world, the bravest people insist on waking up every day to "face" the world.
But recently, things have suddenly taken a turn for the better.
Last month, by chance, I met a noble person. She introduced me to a side hustle.
For the first time, I deeply understood that the chicken soup on Xiaohongshu did not deceive people-
"Part-time jobs can only make ends meet, and if you want to make money, you have to break the information gap first! As long as you find the right way, financial freedom is not a difficult thing. ”

Ever since I got into the side hustle, I've been timid at first – who isn't afraid of failure before they succeed?
But later, the more I worked, the more confident I became, and the more daring I took on the big job. The balance in the card has accumulated from a little bit to an exponential rise, and it only took half a month.
Now, in the face of the boss's abuse, I laughed it off, because I knew I had a way out; In the face of family trivialities, I have a relaxed mentality, and it is a big deal to prepare another track for my children.
Sister is rich.
Tonight, a sum of more than 200,000 yuan will be remitted to my account at one time. This is also the first time in my life that I have earned such an astronomical amount at one time.

What is my wealth password, you ask?
Let's start with a mysterious courier
Half a month ago, I was a middle-aged woman who was forced to grasp both work and family, and her mentality was on the verge of collapse at any time. That afternoon, I was so angry with my child's homework that I was "vomiting blood".
"Knock knock." Someone knocked on the door, "Express." ”
I tried to calm down and opened the door to take the delivery. But if I think about it, I haven't been shopping online lately, and I don't have any friends who want to give me gifts. I turned around and asked, but no one at home claimed it.
But the recipient had my name written on it.
No matter, take it apart first!
It's actually a Douyin shopping card.
On the shopping card, one condition is indicated:
"To activate the shopping card, you need to scan the customer service QR code attached to the card."
I instructed my husband to go and lecture to the children, turned around and went back to the room, picked up the mobile phone and scanned the code.
A corporate WeChat popped up, which was the customer service responsible for gift exchange.
The customer service said to me:
"To avoid fraudulent claims, you need to verify your mobile phone number. Cash-outs cannot be redeemed if you do not receive it in person. ”
After I called out the number, she continued:
"Okay. A purchase amount of 50 yuan will be sent to you immediately.
Activate the remaining 250 yuan, and you will also get a few Douyin live broadcast rooms designated by us to help brush up on popularity and give some small gifts. Not much, just brush 2 live broadcast rooms.
You can rest assured that we can see the amount of your gift in the background and will return it to you in full. ”
As soon as the voice fell, 50 yuan arrived at the speed of light. I struggled for a while, but I still went to the first live broadcast room she designated and swiped the first gift in my life.
Again, at a very fast pace, the second money arrived, adding an extra 100 yuan in addition to the principal of the gift.
Immediately afterwards, he also moved his fingers briefly and activated the last 150 yuan.
Just when I thought this was the end of the matter, the customer service said to me leisurely:
"Sister, if you are interested, you can continue to do it.
But to be honest, if we swipe orders and fake data like this, it is easy to be seized by public security big data. In this way, if you want to make money, you can download our APP, and then I will teach you how to do it. ”
Soon, I was pulled into a WeChat group. The customer service saw through my hesitation at a glance:
"Sister, isn't it time-consuming to brush up on gifts and popularity?
Otherwise, I'll find ten more people who are not busy to watch the live broadcast room and brush gifts, but they don't have money, so you have to pay for the gifts first.
But don't worry, when the commission comes, you will have a big head, they will have a small head, and the principal will be returned according to the old rules. ”
I decided to give it a try, and for the first time, I charged 10,000 yuan in their APP.
The money came back faster and more than I thought.
I've never seen such easy money in my life, my palms are slightly sweaty, and my whole body can't help but tremble.
In the next few days, I struck while the iron was hot, and the more I brushed, the more I got back......
Elegant! It's like meeting a nobleman! I didn't expect the "second spring" of my career to start in such a way!
……
Just thinking about the experience of this period of time, it feels so magical. The thought of getting rich and leapfrogging classes makes me sit and enjoy for a long time.
I lit up my phone screen and it was 11 p.m., 1 hour after they promised to arrive before 10 p.m.
"Sister, the amount is too big this time, you wait a minute, we will divide the account and transfer it to you tomorrow morning. We've been working together for so long, don't worry. ”
I hadn't slept all night, and I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but I really didn't dare to think about it that way.
Early the next morning, I couldn't help but go to collect the money again, only to find myself
has long been blocked.
How does the "Skyfall Shopping Card" deceive people?
Let's summarize the routine directly:
Throw the bait first - small rebate - large net closing
The specific mode of operation, the "eight 'immortals' across the sea" of various liars, each has its own differences, here is a rough description -
Shopping cards may look like they're from Douyin, Taobao, JD.com, or other big shopping platforms, but they're all fake. Through express delivery, "cast a wide net" to the citizens.
Among them, people with low vigilance scan the code as soon as they receive the shopping card.
After scanning the code, there are three situations with a high probability:
(1) The "customer service" associated with WeCom is generally a shell company
(2) Or jump to a Weibo with a QR code in Sina Weibo
(3) or redirect to a website
Scammers do check against the information on their list, and if it's a picked up card, it can't be cashed.
Once the identity is successfully verified, the scammer will immediately pay the other party 50 yuan as the initial bait.
After that, the scammer will offer to pull you into the group, or ask you to download the app. If you do, you're basically hooked......
10 people scanned the code, 9 people were deceived!
"People who are not easy to be deceived will not scan the code"
Tyre! I know what you're thinking.
"Ah, it turns out that 50 yuan was directly received to the account? Then if I receive a 'shopping card', only receive the 50, and then quickly stop it, won't I get the scammer's 50 yuan for nothing? ”
Young man, your idea is dangerous......
First of all, some QR codes, as long as you scan it, the privacy information in the mobile phone will be automatically leaked, and there is no greeting to you at all!
Secondly, the scam is constantly updated and iterative, and the police can only keep up with the pace of the scammers, but they will always be "half a step late"! When a new scam is discovered, it means that someone has already been deceived. How do you know that the next one to miss won't be you?
So, don't be blindly confident and take risks!
Moreover, the routine of sending unknown couriers to defraud is not new:
- Since the beginning of last year, the most common "fraudulent express" is to send a water cup, or a refund notice for the collapse of XX institutions;
- After the start of 618, it began to send "consumption coupons" accompanying the e-commerce shopping festival, and a lot of them were issued during Double 11 and Double 12;
- This year, it is directly "iterated" into a shopping card, and the name of the card is more than the shopping festival of the e-commerce platform.
Although it is said that "changing the soup does not change the medicine", a large number of new "leeks" can still be cut.

At least for now, whether it's a water bottle, a scratch card or a shopping card, any kind of fraud can't do without this method - scanning the code.
Keep one thing in mind: as long as you don't scan the code, you won't be deceived.

How to identify a "scam courier" at a glance?
How can I prevent fraud?
For those who are just starting out online, there are some ways to identify "scam couriers":
- Usually, the receiving information of online shopping can be replaced by a nickname;
- The address can be written with the name of the community, but it does not need to be specific;
- Readers with two mobile phone numbers can fill in a number that they do not use often as a distinction.
If the problem package has information such as a number that you don't use often, you can judge that this is a problem package.
(But for old netizens whose identity information has been running naked for many years, it has little effect)
When you receive a notification of a package, check it carefully. If you confirm that it is not your own, you can refuse to accept it to the courier company; If it is delivered directly to the express storage point, it does not have to be opened, and the pie will not fall from the sky.
Again, the most important anti-scam method is -
QR codes of unknown origin
Don't sweep! Don't sweep! Don't sweep!
Many people will always disdain when they hear about the experience of others being deceived -
"Isn't it just greed and unwillingness? I'm definitely not going to get hit, I'm stupid! ”
When you really feel that the scam is far away from you, it is better to think about why you clicked on this article a few minutes ago and how you saw the end.
