If you receive a delivery with a scratch card in it, will you try your luck? The Taiyuan police in Shanxi Province recently smashed a criminal gang that used the winning courier as a drainage tool to commit fraud. According to statistics, the gang sent out more than 5 million express deliveries, involving more than 1,000 victims and hundreds of millions of yuan in funds.
In December last year, Ms. Li from Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, unexpectedly received a courier that she scratched open and found that she had won the fifth prize. Scan the code according to the information on the card to register, and soon received the fruit delivered to your door. The customer service staff took advantage of the situation and pulled her into a chat group again, recommending a "part-time job" to make money by swiping orders.
Police officer Hu Yanjie: The customer service pulled a group chat, and at the beginning of the liking and collection of the store, the group gave red envelopes, and it was indeed sent, so she believed it. Later, they said that these tasks were too small to make much money. In the next App, you can take large orders and tasks from the App, and you will earn more money.
Ms. Li's task of brushing orders has increased from a few yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, requiring her to invest money first and then get higher rebates. Ms. Li finally paid a heavy price of more than 300,000 yuan.
After the police investigation, it was found that the couriers with scratch cards were shipped from Anyang, Henan Province. The police traced further to the source and found the scene where the parcels were packed, and arrested the suspects who resold the parcel number and were responsible for finding the truck and sending the parcel across the country.
Police officer Hu Yanjie: Its success rate will indeed be a little higher than that of other drainage methods. Some people who receive express delivery are more greedy and cheap, and have a small gift. When I took it back, I was able to scratch the prize and send the fruit, and as a result, the fruit was also delivered, and this relationship of trust was established step by step.
The police reminded that we should be vigilant against unfamiliar couriers and unfamiliar QR codes:
- When receiving a courier from an unknown source, it is necessary to carefully verify the information first and screen the source as much as possible;
- Don't easily add strangers as friends;
- Don't just scan the QR code card in an unknown courier;
- Don't log on to unfamiliar websites to fill in personal information to avoid falling into the trap of scammers.
