Recently, many citizens received a letter from the winning scratch card, scanned the *** on the card to enter the swiping and investment group, and were deceived. Xiamen**Remind the public, beware of strange couriers**.

On December 7, Ms. Lu, a citizen, received a strange courier, which contained two scratch flyers of "WeChat scan code to receive prizes" after opening, and Ms. Lu scratched the fifth prize, believing that it was true to scan the code to enter the welfare group and wanted to receive the prize. **Later, the "customer service" asked Ms. Lu to send the delivery address in private chat. A few days later, Ms. Lu did receive the prize, which made her believe in the other party. Subsequently, the "customer service" lured Ms. Lu to do routine tasks such as red envelope rebates and high rebates, and finally asked her to continue to transfer money on the grounds of operation errors and inability to withdraw cash. By the time Ms. Lu reacted, she had already transferred and remitted a total of 5,000 yuan according to the other party's request. At present, the case is under further investigation.

According to the analysis of the Xiamen Municipal Center for Combating and Governing New Illegal Crimes in Telecommunication Networks, similar to the "crab card" and "training institution refund" letters that appeared some time ago, Ms. Lu encountered a combination of "scanning the code to receive the award + guiding the swiping". The whole case finally returned to the routine of brushing orders. In the early stage, all kinds of scratch cards and gifts are the best preparations, and finally use the victim's trust and "give it a try" mentality, so that the victim always has the hope of "just a little bit to withdraw", and continue to operate.

*Analyse. According to the analysis of Xiamen**, this kind of fraud has the following routines:

1. Cast a wide net. **Priority will be given to online shoppers, and in the name of well-known brands to send prizes, red envelopes and other benefits, mail winning letters to the above groups. In order to follow up the fraud, these winning cards can "scratch the jackpot", and the follow-up operation is to scan the *** on the card

2. Gain the trust of the victim. In order to make the "scratch campaign" look more real, ** exchange small profits for the victim's trust, so that the victim can really receive the prize of the corresponding award on the flyer.

3. Conventional brushing routines. **Began to intersperse with various swiping tasks, the "trust" in the group chat set off the atmosphere, the high rebate hung the appetite, **The victim kept transferring money, and finally it was inevitable that he could not withdraw and was blocked.

*Remind. Xiamen ** reminds that when you receive an unknown courier, you must log in to the official ** to view the logistics information and courier information, and **contact the courier. For unsolicited couriers, insist on verifying the identity of the courier and the contents of the packageDo not scan the *** card in the unknown package, and do not click on unfamiliar links to fill in personal information such as bank cards, ID cards, and mobile phone numbersWhen a stranger calls accurately state your personal information and inform them that there is an urgent matter to deal with or a gift to receive, please stay calm and verify through official channels.
