**We have always been "fragrant" to the company's financial and accounting personnel, and a recent fraud incident in Puyang once again reminded us that the majority of financial personnel should not relax their vigilance. On December 5, Puyang** received a report from Ms. Huang, saying that she was defrauded of more than 390,000 yuan by impersonating the owner of the company.
Ms. Huang is an accountant in Puyang, and her WeChat account has been logged in to the computer for a long time, and there is a remote control device on the computer. At some point, she was pulled into a WeChat group by the impersonating "boss", and there were three people in the group, namely the boss, the vice president and the victim Ms. Huang herself. Since the group members' avatars and nicknames were consistent with the Xi of the company's leaders, Ms. Huang was not suspicious.
Subsequently, the impersonating "boss" said that there was an urgent amount of money, and Ms. Huang thought that she was accepting instructions from the boss of the company, so she followed the instructions. According to the company's financial management system, large-amount transfers need to go through a "second trial", so Ms. Huang first contacted the "cashier", and the "cashier" also thought that the instructions came directly from the boss, so she directly authorized the transfer operation. Neither of them checked with the boss through ** or face-to-face methods, and transferred the money to the designated account according to the impostor's request.
It wasn't until Ms. Huang reconciled with her boss that she realized that she had been deceived and immediately called the police. Ms. Huang lost a total of more than 390,000 yuan.
For this kind of fraud case of impersonating the boss, the criminals steal or simulate the company's boss's number, ** and other illegal means, the cashier, financial personnel pull ** chat, and ask for transfer. According to the financial system, when a large amount of money is issued, it should be verified with the boss through ** or face-to-face, but the two victims in this case failed to do so, but transferred money privately, which eventually led to property fraud and heavy losses.
This incident has attracted widespread attention and discussion on the Internet. Many finance professionals and business owners have said that they have been warned and said that they will be more cautious in their future work to avoid similar scams. At the same time, it has also aroused the attention and reflection of the company's financial management system. Many people believe that the approval process should be strengthened, especially for large transfers, and it is important to verify with the boss in person or ** before proceeding.
Incidents like this are not uncommon. In some cases in the past, there have been similar cases of boss impersonation scams. These cases are a wake-up call to us to maintain a high degree of vigilance, not to easily trust strangers' orders, and to verify before acting.
The impact of this incident on society cannot be ignored. It not only brings huge economic losses to financial personnel, but also further increases the public's vigilance against online fraud. Many people are beginning to pay attention to cybersecurity and financial risk management, and pay more attention to verifying the authenticity of identities and instructions in their daily work.
So far, there has been no update on the case. ** Expressed its determination to crack down on such frauds, and reminded the majority of financial personnel to strengthen their awareness of prevention, and also called on enterprises to strengthen internal management and improve various financial approval procedures.
To sum up, this case of impersonating the boss to defraud has sounded the alarm for the majority of financial personnel. We should always be vigilant, be aware of cyber security, and not easily trust the instructions of strangers. At the same time, companies should also strengthen internal management, improve financial approval procedures, and strengthen training and education for employees to jointly resist the risk of online fraud. Now, I would like to invite readers to share your thoughts and precautions on this fraud case.
