Ah sir, you said don't trust strange netizens
Then the leaders you know in reality are all right, right?
Why am I still being scammed?
Recently, there have been a number of cases in Wenshan in which the person in charge of the enterprise was deceived because he received the project introduced by the leaders of the government, enterprises and institutions.
The leader of the recommended project is indeed the person in charge of some organs, enterprises and institutions in real life, and the recommended project is also the leader out of good intentions, and it should be a reliable project to be reasonable
Real-world examples
In early November this year, Manager Liu of Wenshan No. 1 Engineering Company received a ** from the leader of a unit, who introduced a ground hardening project to Manager Liu and sent a ** number to Manager Liu, so that Manager Liu could contact him by himself.
Because Manager Liu communicated with the leader and confirmed that it was the leader himself, Manager Liu was not suspicious of the project introduced by the leader at all, and immediately got in touch with the person introduced by the leader.
The person claimed to be Wang, an instructor of a fire brigade, because the sports field of the fire brigade was damaged and needed to be repaired and renovated for ground hardening, with a total of 2,600 square meters. In addition, the other party said that it also needed two solar generators of a certain brand for the victim to purchase together, and recommended a manager Zhang who sold solar generators to the victim.
The victim contacted the manager Zhang, and the other party said that the two generators totaled 210,000 yuan, and a deposit of 160,000 yuan was required before they could be loaded and shipped, and the victim negotiated with Manager Zhang, and finally agreed to pay 150,000 yuan firstDepositAfter the arrival of the goods, the balance will be paid off.
Subsequently, the victim put a deposit of 150,000 yuan into the bank account provided by **, and after half an hour, the manager Zhang actually said that he needed to pay off the balance before he could deliver the goods, and the victim noticed that something was wrong, so he contacted the leader who introduced the project to him, and the leader listened to what happened, and reacted that it was a fraud, so he asked the victim to call the police immediately, and the victim was finally defrauded of 150,000 yuan.
Through the case, you may wonder why this leader would help ** introduce the project?Let's open this scam from the perspective of a leader:
Leadership perspective
I am the leader of a certain unit, and I usually have a lot of work, and many people know my **. One day, I received a text message, which read as follows: "Hello leader, I am a fire brigade instructor Wang, I have a work to find you, I have time to reply, thank you!."”。
See this oneThe place of work and the name can be matchedI didn't doubt the authenticity of the other party's identity too much, so I replied to the other party**, the other party said that the sports field in the fire brigade was broken and needed to be repaired, and asked me if I knew the personnel who did the cost design and constructionHelp with the introductionOne.
Because of my work, I naturally knew the people who did engineering, so I replied to the other party that I knew, and I would help introduce them and let them contact him.
After that, I sent the ** of the fire brigade instructor Wang to the staff of the engineering company I am familiar with and asked him to contact him on his own.
I didn't expect the other party to be **, and inadvertently help** "matchmaking".
Scam routines
no.1 Fake identity Find an introducer
Fraudsters will collect information about the leaders of various government agencies, enterprises and institutions through various channels, obtain the leader's mobile phone number, and forge a local identity for themselves (such as a leader, assistant, secretary, etc.), and then contact the leader by sending text messages, so that the leader can help introduce the staff of the relevant project.
no.2 Hypothetical items Designated supply
After the staff introduced by the leader contacts **, ** will first communicate the details of the project, and after reaching an agreement, they will propose that they still need to purchase certain supplies, and ask the victim to help them procure. And give the contact information of the victim's ** merchant (fraudster impersonation) or manufacturer (fraudster impersonation), and ask the victim to pay the purchase cost in advance, and reimburse afterwards.
no.3 Pay first and then collect the goods and run away
The supplier adopts the method of "payment before delivery", or needs to pay a certain amount of deposit in advance before delivery, once the victim transfers, it will ask for transfer again, and when the victim finds that he has been deceived, ** will "disappear".
