Strait Herald, December 14 (Reporter Chen Jie, Zeng Yixuan, Correspondent Hong Hengliang) Recently, Ms. Mo, a citizen, has encountered the trap of "points exchange" and the "Internet police"**, first "exchanging points" and was defrauded of 4,000 yuan, and was defrauded of 20,000 yuan for "looking for Internet police" on the Internet. Xiamen** revealed the deception and issued an early warning, reminding the public not to trust the "Internet police", *not** "remote control" to handle the case, and not to ask the parties to remit and transfer.
Exchange points" The woman was deceived into paying 4,000 yuan.
Recently, Ms. Mo, a citizen, received three consecutive text messages of "280,000 points will be cleared when they expire". These text messages all say that Ms. Mo's annual points on a certain network** are about to be cleared, and she can go to the designated platform to participate in activities to redeem gifts. Ms. Mo clicked on a text message link, and her phone jumped to a shopping platform, showing that Ms. Mo had 288,000 points to use on the platform. The products on the platform are all first-class digital products, high-end tobacco and alcohol, brand-name daily necessities, etc.
After Ms. Mo checked the points exchange rules of the platform, she found that she only needed to use these points to pay some cash, that is, in the form of points + cash, to redeem goods on the platform. Ms. Mo selected 7 favorite products on the platform in one go, used up 288,000 points, and paid nearly 4,000 yuan in cash.
Find the Internet police" She was defrauded of 20,000 yuan again.
After that, Ms. Mo found that she was making an impulse purchase, and she also had doubts about the quality of the goods, and wanted to cancel the order and apply for a refund. However, the customer service said that only half of the refund could be made if the points were redeemed. Ms. Mo wanted to report the platform to the police online, and saw a QQ number left by a person claiming to be an Internet police officer on the Internet, and after adding it, the other party asked Ms. Mo to add the QQ number designated as "Internet Police". The "Internet Police" sent Ms. Mo a "police officer card", and asked Ms. Mo for important personal information such as her name, ID number, home address, bank card number, and the amount of fraud on the grounds of "case information registration", and then asked Ms. Mo to join the "acceptance group chat", and said that the ** account had been frozen, and asked Ms. Mo to wait patiently for a refund.
After a while, Ms. Mo's bank account really received a 210 yuan entry information, so she was convinced that the "Internet police" could recover the funds. However, the "cyber police" said that the frozen funds in the other party's account could not be transferred out, and they needed to be unfrozen before the money could be returned to Ms. Mo. The "Internet Police" gave Ms. Mo a bank account, saying that she would transfer money to it to verify Ms. Mo's credibility and help unfreeze the account before returning the money.
Ms. Mo transferred 20,000 yuan to the past, but the other party said that it was not enough, Ms. Mo said that there was no money, and the other party asked Ms. Mo to borrow money from relatives and friends or take out a loan on the loan platform. Ms. Mo realized that she had been deceived and quickly dialed 110 to call the police.
Deception revealed. Pretending to be a "cyber policeman" to trick victims into transferring money.
According to the analysis of the Xiamen Municipal Center for Combating and Governing New Illegal Crimes in Telecommunications Networks, Ms. Mo encountered the trap of "points exchange" at the beginning, and received a text message of "points expiration exchange", and clicked on the link to jump to a **page, the home page has **, watches, skin care products, wine, tissues, etc., with a dazzling array of goods, good quality and low price, and fascinating, all of which are "points + cash" exchange methods. After clicking on the product, you can jump to the payment interface, you can pay directly through WeChat or Alipay, and the process is very similar to the formal** purchase interface such as ** and Jingdong.
However, the exchange form of "points + cash" is easy to mislead consumers, and the China Consumers Association has confirmed that some of the goods in the redemption of points are counterfeit products, and some belong to products that have been overstocked for many years. Many consumers said that when they placed an order "without hesitation", they wondered "SMS from **" and "how could so many points pop up inexplicably", and at this time they wanted to cancel the order but could not find a refund channel, and the exchange ** may not be able to open a few days later, and the goods received afterwards also showed that they were indeed the "wronged head" who placed an order impulsively.
Ms. Mo then "called the police" and encountered another telecom network fraud. **Pretending to be a "cyber policeman", seizing the victim's eagerness to recover the defrauded cash, falsely claiming that the defrauded cash can be recovered, and asking the victim to transfer money on the grounds of unfreezing the ** account.
