Chutian Metropolis Daily, December 24 (reporter Liu Yi) Ms. Zhou, who lives in the street entrance of Hongshan District, has been in a terrible mood these days. The stay-at-home mother originally wanted to prove that she had the ability to make money, and made a swipe order online, but she fell into a scam and was defrauded of 80,000 yuan.
Ms. Zhou said that on the 20th, a strange netizen pulled her into a WeChat group, and some people in the group said that as long as they help to do tasks and brush orders, they can make money. At first, she just did tasks such as paying attention to the public account, donating money to the public welfare fund, and buying some bargains online, and did not want her to really receive commissions, and made 20 yuan after doing four or five tasks.
After that, netizens in the group asked her to download an APP called "Penguin". On the 21st, in the chat function of the APP, several men and women who called themselves "Fortune Group" said that as long as they followed the steps they taught to advance money in the APP to buy lottery tickets, they would give commissions in addition to returning the principal.
Chutian Metropolis Daily reporter saw that after entering the APP, you can register an account, and then enter a betting page called "Parkway International", which has many items such as "three-point lottery", "five-point lottery" and "introduction to horse racing".
Ms. Zhou said that after registration, the "Fortune Group" people let her help buy lottery tickets, the first few bets were a few hundred yuan of small bets, the other party really even the principal with commission through the transfer to her, calculated, she made about 1,000 yuan.
Because Ms. Zhou has not worked for many years because she is at home with children, she has earned about 1,000 yuan with her fingers, which makes her very happy and unguarded.
Ms. Zhou said that on the 22nd, the other party said that if the amount of advance to buy lottery tickets is larger, the more commissions, and fortunately, she now has a chance to do a big task, if she advances 30,000 yuan, she can earn thousands of yuan commission. She first used her savings, and then borrowed 10,000 yuan from the online lending platform, and after making up enough money, she operated according to the requirements of the other party.
But this operation is not as simple as Ms. Zhou imagined. The other party suddenly said that the staff who bet on this time made a mistake in operation, the lottery number was not guessed, the money was lost, but the group would lose her 30,000 yuan principal, and would also give her 10,000 yuan, these money are in the APP account, if she invests more than 10,000 yuan into it, the previous losses will be earned back. Ms. Zhou borrowed money from her brother and operated according to the requirements of the other party again, but this time the other party also said that Ms. Zhou's own operation was wrong, and the money in front was gone, and only by investing money to buy lottery tickets could the money in front of her win back. Ms. Zhou borrowed 40,000 yuan from her sister.
The third operation also had problems, and this time, the other party said that there was a problem with the system. At this time, Ms. Zhou still did not realize that she had been deceived, until her mother learned that she had borrowed money, called to inquire about the purpose, and told her that she had been deceived, and Ms. Zhou woke up.
The transfer record shows that from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the 22nd, within 3 hours, Ms. Zhou transferred 80,000 yuan to "Huang Chunxia", "Hu Licheng" and "Jiang Youhua" and other three people.
Ms. Zhou said she just wanted to make some money by brushing orders in her spare time with her children, and she didn't want to fall into a scam and involve her family.
At present, Ms. Zhou has called the police, and the Hongshan police have filed a case to intervene in the investigation.
