"Discounted phone bills" attract customers
Recently, Ms. Li from Shanghai was selling goods on a second-hand shopping platform, and happened to brush up on the preferential phone bill recharge activity, which said "", Ms. Li had recharged low-cost phone bills on other platforms, so she didn't think much about it, and she didn't observe the seller's qualifications, and directly purchased and submitted the mobile phone account information.
Rush into the "dirty money" automatic receipt
Three days later,. Ms. Li looked at her account and found that it had indeed arrived, but when she clicked on the receipt, a security prompt popped up.
Although she was prompted, Ms. Li still didn't realize that there might be a problem with the other party. At this time, the second-hand platform merchant was banned by the platform because it was reported by others many times.
Ms. Li did not log in to the platform again because the money arrived, nor did she notice the platform's repeated pop-up reminders.
Until two days later, the system automatically received the goods, and another week passed.
Ms. Li was puzzled, "I have never committed illegal fraud, why did I get involved in fraud?" In fact, fraudsters have completed the "laundering" of fraudulent money through the process of slow recharge of phone bills.
Coincidentally
This routine also appeared in Hangzhou

Mr. Zhang told reporters that he logged on to the third-party e-commerce platform on March 29 this year and saw many sellers with low discounts to recharge phone bills, and said yes.
So Mr. Zhang chose to recharge 300 yuan for the phone bill, and actually paid 252 yuan, and placed an order on the same day.
In the past week, I thought that this well-known third-party e-commerce platform was still relatively reliable, but I did not expect to receive a call from Luliang, Shanxi Province on April 7, saying that Mr. Zhang was suspected of defrauding more than 10,000 yuan and had called the police. Mr. Zhang thought it was a scam call and ignored it.
"On April 15, I received two calls in a row from a local telecommunications operator," he said.
Mr. Zhang said his hand at 7 p.m. that night

Why did "phone bills" become "money laundering"?
01
Step 1: Advertise to attract victims
Fraudsters will release various preferential recharge services such as low-cost "phone bill recharge", "fuel card recharge" and "electricity bill recharge" through second-hand trading platforms, social platforms, short video platforms, etc.
Due to the recent small discount of operators, 80% of the discount, or even only a very low discount of 5 yuan, will not arouse the vigilance of the victim, but also attract potential customers who want to "save a little money" to buy low-cost recharge services.
02
Step 2: Top up dirty money through fraud
After victim A buys the top-up goods, the fraudster usually promises to "arrive in the account within a week", and this buffer time is used for overseas fraud crimes.
After receiving the clean funds, the overseas fraudsters defraud other targets through various fraudulent methods such as gambling, pig killing, and swiping, so that the fraud victim B can recharge victim A's mobile phone account by scanning the code to pay, direct charging of phone bills, etc. To put it simply, fraudsters have completed the "laundering" of fraudulent money through the process of slow recharge of phone bills.
03
Step 3: The mobile phone account is banned due to the case
Victim B found out that he had been deceived, so he chose to report the case and submitted the mobile phone number of the transfer.
Under today's high-intensity anti-fraud prevention and control system, after the police filed a case and tracked it, they banned the mobile phone number of victim A.
Police tips
01
Choose a formal channel to recharge and pay the fee
Please choose a regular channel for the recharge of phone bills, water bills, and fuel bills, although the discount is small, but the safety is guaranteed, do not suffer a big loss because of greed.
02
Protect personal privacy and card information
ID cards, bank cards and mobile phone cards are the key elements of fraud and crime, and you must not sell, lend, or lease personal "two cards" and identity information at will, and be wary of "phishing websites" that fill in personal information.
03
Be wary of low-price traps and raise legal awareness
At present, most of the various types of fraud are well versed in people's ideas of "greedy for small and cheap" and "making a fortune", whether it is a low-cost recharge phone bill, or a classic fraud mode such as swiping orders, as long as you raise your awareness of prevention, keep a clear head, and believe that pie will not fall from the sky, you will not fall into the trap of fraud.
In addition, many people now participate in money laundering crimes by "running points" and other methods, and are finally sentenced for "aiding trust" for a little rebate payment.
