In the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, Zhang Tao lives an ordinary and simple life. One day, a mysterious ** broke his peaceful life. On the other hand, a man who claims to be the "Overseas Assets Unfreezing Committee" tells him that there is a chance that a huge asset will be unfrozen, and that he, as a descendant of a certain historical figure, is the only legal heir to this asset.
At first, Zhang Tao thought it was just a prank, but the other party seemed to be prepared, listing the historical background of Zhang Tao's family in detail, and even some little-known family secrets. The other party claimed that the assets were transferred overseas by the ancestors of the family during a special period, and now the time is ripe to unfreeze and return them to the legal heirs.
Zhang Tao was deeply attracted by the other party's words, and at the same time, there were ripples in his heart. After all, for ordinary people, such a huge fortune is undoubtedly an astronomical amount, enough to change the fate of a lifetime. But reason told him that it was probably a **.
However, when Zhang Tao hesitated, the other party sent some so-called "official documents" and "certification letters". The documents were so beautifully crafted that they were even stamped with forged official seals and signatures. Zhang Tao began to waver, thinking that this might really be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In the days that followed, Zhang Tao maintained close contact with the other party. The other party constantly emphasized the importance of this asset, while claiming that because it involves *** and family honor, the whole process must be highly confidential and cannot be disclosed to anyone. In order to prove his sincerity and strength, Zhang Tao paid tens of thousands of yuan as "handling fees" and "notary fees" in accordance with the requirements of the other party.
As time passed, Zhang Tao became more and more expectant about this asset. However, whenever he asked the other party when the funds would be available, the other party always shirked it for various reasons, such as "cumbersome procedures" and "more time needed". Although Zhang Tao was a little impatient, he still chose to wait patiently when he thought of the huge wealth that was about to arrive.
Until one day, Zhang Tao suddenly found that his *** was blocked by the other party, and the so-called "official documents" and "certification letters" before were all invalid. At this time, it dawned on him that he had been deceived. Anger and disappointment blended, and Zhang Tao immediately called the police and sought legal help.
After an investigation, the truth of this fraud case was finally revealed. It turned out that the man who claimed to be the "Overseas Assets Unfreezing Committee" was the leader of a fraud ring that took advantage of people's reverence for history and family honor to weave one lie after another and defraud a large amount of money. And Zhang Tao is one of their carefully selected "prey".
How to break the game?
1. Stay vigilant: In the face of sudden "good news", especially when it comes to huge wealth, you must remain calm and vigilant. Don't easily trust the claims of strangers, especially those that claim to involve *** or family honor.
2. Verify the authenticity of the information: Before making any decisions, be sure to verify the authenticity of the information through official channels. Don't trust unsolicited messages and documents, especially those that seem formal but may actually be fake.
3. Protection of personal information: Do not easily disclose personal information to strangers or unauthorized institutions. At the same time, be cautious about social media and online information to avoid falling into the trap of fraudsters.
