Bank transfers can be revoked within 24 hours "regret pills" are used to do scams

Yangcheng Evening News reporter Zhang Wen and correspondent Lu Huimin reported: Some people may say that the bank transfer can be revoked within 24 hours, then it will not be able to relax the vigilance slightly, and there is no need to worry about transferring the wrong money to the scammer. Recently, there was such a case in Foshan City, where fraudsters used the anti-fraud mechanism of banks for fraud.

Between May and June 2020, Li, alone or in conjunction with Yao (handled in a separate case), searched for the seller of the mobile phone through the second-hand resale website, and after the two parties reached a transaction intention online, Li asked the victim to deliver the mobile phone in person and agreed on the meeting place. After the two sides met, Li first used mobile banking to transfer the agreed purchase money to the victim. When the victim saw the transfer text message and delivered the mobile phone to Li, Li immediately left with the fraudulent mobile phone and immediately used mobile banking to cancel the transfer.

After winning the hand, Li blocked the victim's contact information and sold the fraudulent mobile phone to others for profit. Through the above-mentioned means, Li defrauded eight people of 9 mobile phones, and the actual value of the property defrauded was 49,087 yuan.

Based on the above facts, the Foshan Chancheng Court held that the defendant Li used the telecommunications network to fabricate facts and conceal the truth to defraud others of a total of RMB49,087 for the purpose of illegal possession, and the amount was huge, so it sentenced Li to three years and six months imprisonment for fraud and fined him RMB30,000.

The judge of the case said that in this case, defendant Li used the second-hand resale website to send false information, find the target of the crime, determine the transaction price and the delivery location of the mobile phone, etc., the fraud coverage is large, the number of people defrauded is large, and the amount of fraudulent property is huge, which is a telecommunications network crime. Telecom network fraud is a highly intelligent, highly concealed, highly confusing non-contact remote fraud, fraud methods are difficult to identify, fraud methods emerge in an endless stream, making people invincible. Defendant Li took advantage of the above-mentioned characteristics of telecommunications network fraud to set up sets up layer by layer to induce multiple victims to be deceived. To prevent telecommunications network fraud, we must improve our own awareness of prevention, and in the process of trading with strangers, we must ensure that there is a double between money and goods, especially when transferring huge amounts of money to unknown accounts.
