Not only have I heard it, but I have also experienced it, haha. Let me talk about what I have seen and heard.

The 10,000 Bottles of Maotai Incident

Let me tell you something that I personally experienced. I remember that a few years ago, I once received a strange phone call, and the gender on the phone was somewhat I can’t remember clearly, but the general process is: This person claimed that he was selling Maotai, and he guaranteed that it was true. I recognized him as a liar as soon as I heard it, but it was quite annoying for me to face such a dedicated liar. I actually tried hard to cooperate with him.

After haggling, we finally settled on a transaction price of 200 yuan per bottle. I said to the liar manager opposite, "Give me 10,000 bottles." We chatted for 10 minutes. Later, the other person realized that I was teasing him and said, "I'll give your grandma a leg." I wanted to scold him a few more words, but he hung up the phone. Not happy!

The Greedy Korean Scammer

This happened a few years ago, but I still remember it now. The cause of the incident was that a man found it troublesome to operate an ATM machine at a bank in Busan, South Korea, and then used thousands of them to withdraw money.

After a while, the bank received a call from someone who said that he had just been defrauded of 10.5 million won by a phone scam. The bank staff immediately realized that the man who had just withdrawn a large amount of money might be suspicious, so he immediately called the man who made the withdrawal based on the phone number left on the withdrawal slip. Unexpectedly, the man actually answered the phone.

The bank clerk said to the man who answered the phone: "Sir, when we were withdrawing money from you just now, we accidentally gave you 30,000 won less. Please come back and withdraw your money." After hanging up the phone, the bank employee immediately called the police and explained the situation. The police immediately rushed to the bank and lurked inside, waiting for the cashier to appear.

After entering the reception room, the man was immediately captured by the police ambushing inside. A phone fraud criminal was arrested. Such IQs are among the organizations involved in phone fraud, which shows how rampant crimes suspected of phone fraud are currently in South Korea.

I am "Daniel Wu" and was beaten away while filming, asking for remittance

It is said that scammers have improved their deception skills, but in fact there are many mentally retarded ones. You must have heard about a man who claimed to be Daniel Wu or Nicholas Tse. He said that he was kicked off while filming in the mountains and lost contact with the crew. He asked for money and said that he would be given an opportunity to act.

In fact, many fraud methods are actually very inferior, but they can deceive many people and defraud huge amounts of money. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than taking advantage of people's psychology of taking advantage. So, what fraud methods do we need to be wary of in our lives? Let me summarize them for you.

1. Pretend to be a public prosecutor and commit fraud. The fraudsters pretended to be public prosecutors and law enforcement personnel and called the victim's phone number, claiming that the victim's identity information had been stolen and suspected of money laundering crimes, and requested that the victim's funds be transferred to a so-called "safe account" to cooperate with the investigation.

The public security bureau, procuratorate, and law handling cases will notify the parties involved to go to the law enforcement site, present their certificates, and go through the procedures. Please reject any request for transfer or remittance without meeting in person or completing relevant procedures.

2. QR code fraud. Fraudsters use discounts and group purchases as bait, asking victims to scan QR codes to become members, but in fact they contain Trojan viruses. Once scanned and installed, the Trojan will steal personal information such as bank card numbers and passwords, and then steal funds.

In this case, do not scan the QR code casually. After scanning the QR code, first identify the authenticity of the URL. If you cannot identify it, please do not install it to prevent being deceived.

3. Like fraud. Fraudsters pretend to be merchants and publish "like and win prizes" messages, requiring participants to send their names, phone numbers and other personal information to platforms such as WeChat. After obtaining the personal information, they call and claim to have won the prize, and then pay a "handling fee" and "deposit" ” and other forms of fraud.

When encountering such things, do not trust, transfer or remit money.

4. Mobile phone text message fraud. These are the various text messages we often receive in our lives. They will give you a series of links after "Congratulations on which platform coupon you won." Never click on such unreliable links, as they may be Trojan viruses.

5. Fictional "winning" information fraud

Criminals send false "winning" information through email, text messages, QQ, MSN, etc. to pay risk deposits and taxes , agency fees and many other names, allowing the victim to remit money to the account provided by him. After receiving the phone call, the victim often takes advantage and is deceived.

When receiving such calls or text messages, keep a cool head. There will be no "pies" falling from the sky. You can verify whether there is such information through regular media. Don't miss out on bonuses and prizes. , I remitted my money right away.

6. Committing fraud on the pretext of receiving social security subsidies

This is to trick the insured into calling the fake Social Security Bureau consultation phone number and the fake Finance Bureau consultation phone number, and then the fake job The criminal elements of the personnel instruct the defrauded people to operate the ATM machine over the phone and take the opportunity to transfer money to achieve the purpose of fraud.

So when we receive calls or text messages from strangers, we must be more vigilant, not easily disclose personal and family information, etc., discuss with family members, and contact the local social security department to verify the authenticity of the information. Reduce the possibility of being deceived.

So what should we do if we encounter fraud in life? I have a few suggestions.

1. Stay calm and determine the loss

When encountering a scam, we need to stay calm as much as possible and not panic. First of all, we need to determine our losses, such as money, items, etc. If possible, we can make a list of losses for reporting.

2. Call the police as soon as possible to prevent being deceived again

3. Collect evidence and keep it properly

Scammers usually contact victims through the media, such as QQ, mobile phone text messages, emails and online games, etc. First, the victim saves all evidence and transaction records. It is best to have bank transaction records, online chat records, and contact information with the other party.

4. Truthfully report the case situation

Some victims feel annoyed and ashamed because of online fraud, and rarely report the case or even if they do, they conceal the facts of the case. This will It will make it more difficult for the public security organs to solve the case. In order to catch the criminal suspect as soon as possible and recover the losses, please report the case truthfully to the police handling the case after reporting the case.

Having said so much, I still want to remind everyone that you must not be greedy for small gains when encountering fraud. The success of scammers is based on our greedy mentality. So, don’t give criminals an opportunity.
