A married white-collar woman in Jiangxi Province recently encountered a "pig slaughter" fraud case, and was defrauded of a huge sum of up to 4.07 million yuan in just 28 days, leaving her bankrupt and heavily in debt.
The 42-year-old Jiangxi woman, named Li Fang (not her real name), is married, and her husband Wang Jun (not her real name) is in business and has a 6-year-old son. The family of three originally lived a plain but happy life.
Li Fang works as a white-collar employee in a foreign company and belongs to a middle-class family. Her WeChat profile reads "Hone your will in adversity and test your character in good times", which can be seen as a more optimistic and motivated image.
However, the peaceful life is shattered after a seemingly ordinary WeChat friend request, and Li Fang receives a friend request from a man named "Chen Jie".
The other party claims to be a middle-level manager of a well-known ** company, and is currently preparing to rent a house, and has just divorced his wife recently due to a job change, and needs a temporary place to stay.
Li Fang often posts the rental information of her house on WeChat, so she takes the initiative to ask for details and help. Soon, the two decided on a one-month short-term rental, and Chen Jie also transferred a deposit of 1,000 yuan to Li Fang through WeChat Pay.
Renting a house, a seemingly normal transaction, became the fuse for Li Fang's fraud. From the 7th day, Chen Jie claimed that there were compatibility problems with the company's internal system and WeChat, and that in order to facilitate communication, Li Fang had registered an encrypted chat tool account called "Xiao Enai".
Li Fang was a little hesitant at first, but Chen Jie was polite to her and showed good reputation, so Li Fang chose to believe his words. Unexpectedly, it was precisely from the launch of "Little Love" that this ** quietly unfolded and gradually escalated into a shocking case.
In the next week, Chen Jie used his professional knowledge in the ** industry and the advantage of lying about his identity as an insider, gradually won Li Fang's trust, and persuaded her to participate in a seemingly low-risk, high-profit "financial plan".
The operation of this plan is quite complicated, and Li Fang herself does not fully understand it, only knowing that bidding according to the method given by Chen Jie can get 10% of the income the next day.
The first investment of 4,000 yuan easily earned 4,000 yuan, Li Fang saw the wealth and increased the scale of the principal. And every time she asked for a withdrawal, Chen Jie prevaricated with various excuses and tricked her into injecting more funds again.
In order to obtain investment funds, Li Fang even began to lift weights to relatives and friends and even major online lending platforms, falsely claiming that she was preparing for home purchase. She was blinded by the false gains, completely unaware that she was sinking into the quagmire of ** step by step.
It wasn't until she went bankrupt that she realized the seriousness of the situation under the warning of a friend, and repeatedly asked for cash but still couldn't do it, and then she realized that she had become a victim of the black sheep.
However, it was too late, in just 28 days, Li Fang had invested more than 4.07 million yuan through various channels, and there was no penny left in her account.
This huge financial loss almost brought Li Fang into a breakdown, and also severely damaged her relationship with her husband Wang Jun. Wang Jun originally proposed to commit suicide with Li Fang, but in order to protect her husband, Li Fang had to agree to divorce by agreement and then bear the debt alone.
Now, Li Fang has completely sobered up and paid a heavy price for her confusion, and she was heartbroken in the interview, hoping to take this as a warning and not let more people repeat the mistakes of the past.
This typical case once again confirms that the crime of pig killing fraud has become more and more serious in the Internet era, which has seriously endangered the property safety of the people. We must face up to this serious problem.
According to data disclosed by the Ministry of Public Security, in the first 10 months of this year alone, there were nearly 220,000 cases of various types of telecommunications fraud, with direct economic losses amounting to 15 billion yuan. In the face of rampant fraud crimes, it is obvious that ordinary people should be vigilant and not take it lightly.
