Routine analysis
1
Disguise your identity and screen the crowd
Scammers obtain the personal information of the training institution's customers through illegal channels, and then impersonate the training institution to actively contact the victim by phone call, text message, social software, etc., accurately state the victim's information and the courses they have purchased, falsely claim to handle "course refunds" for them, and lure the victim to add friends or join group chats.
2
Download the designated APP
After gaining trust, the scammer falsely claims that the training institution the victim has signed up for has been acquired by another company, and induces the victim to download the designated APP to buy funds, invest in stocks, and swipe orders to do tasks for refunds.
3
Committing fraud
The victim invests a small amount in the app according to the instructions of the "customer service", and in order to increase credibility, the scammer usually gives the victim a little sweetness in the early stage. After the victim has invested a large amount of principal, the scammer will refuse to return the cash on various grounds such as "operation error", "account freezing", "deposit payment", etc., inducing the victim to continue to invest funds until the victim's wallet is emptied.
Police tips
When receiving a so-called refund notice
Be sure to go through an official training institution as soon as possible
Conduct verification and verification
Don't blindly follow the notification
The formal refund process is generally based on:
Return to the payment account in the form of the original return
Where a refund is requested, an "additional fee" is required
"Induce investment rebates".
It's all a scam!
