The accountant was pulled into a QQ chat group by the company's colleagues, and the avatars and nicknames of the members of the group were the leaders and bosses of the company, and the accountant mistakenly thought that it was the company's working group. Soon after, he received the "boss" information and transferred 2.75 million yuan to the account provided by the "boss". In January 2021, a company in Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone suffered from such a scam, and the police promptly launched an emergency treatment and recovered nearly 1 million yuan for the victim company.
Chen is an accountant of "Zhengzhou Wolde Economic and Trade Co., Ltd." of Zhengzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. On the morning of January 20, 2021, she just arrived at the company, and her colleague Wu Mouli pulled her into a QQ chat group of "Wold Work Group", the group members were only four people, all of whom were two bosses and a colleague of the company, nicknamed "Li Mou" (the company's boss), "Chen Mouting" (the company's general manager) and another colleague.
After Chen joined the group, he did not have the slightest doubt, and chatted with "colleagues" in the group, and did not find any abnormalities during the period. Half an hour later, "Mr. Li" asked her about the balance of funds on the company's account in the QQ group, Chen Mouyi answered truthfully, and then Mr. Li said that he would sign a contract with another company today, requiring Chen to transfer 2.75 million yuan to the account of "China Construction Bank Chongqing Jiangjin Shuangfu Branch", and Chen mou quickly transferred 2.75 million yuan to the designated account according to Li Zong's request.
After about half an hour, Chen found Chen Mouting (General Manager Chen), who was holding a meeting in the conference room at the time, and reported to him that Mr. Li had asked him to transfer money. Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen was confused, saying that he did not know about the transfer, nor did he join the "Wold Work Group", and at the same time contacted Mr. Li, who also said that he did not communicate with Chen through the QQ group that day, and did not ask her to transfer money. Chen realized that he had been defrauded and immediately reported to the Jingkai Public Security Bureau.
After receiving the alarm from the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately froze the relevant accounts. After the account was frozen, more than 20 police officers of the anti-fraud center all invested in the work of studying the flow of funds in the case and freezing the suspect account, freezing more than 40 suspect accounts within one hour, and the amount frozen was more than 3 million yuan. In the later stage, the police tracked, sorted out and screened the suspicious accounts one by one, recovered nearly 1 million yuan of defrauded funds for the company, and returned them to the company's original account. The remaining defrauded funds are still under further investigation.
In response to this case, the police issued a special reminder to enterprise managers and financial personnel: the company and individuals should not trust the chat information on QQ or WeChat, and must be verified in person before transferring money. The company found that it was deceived and called the police as soon as possible, and the police promptly investigated and froze the account to recover some economic losses. If the company or individual finds that it has been deceived, it is necessary to call the police immediately, and the earlier the alarm time, the greater the possibility of the police recovering.
