**Wan Fan Incentive Plan Xiao Li (pseudonym), a citizen of Nanhai District, Foshan, Guangdong, recently encountered an Internet fraud related to the customization of the New Year's red envelope cover, which attracted the attention of the local public security and issued a warning to remind the general public to be vigilant.
According to Xiao Li's recollection, he found a "merchant" on the Internet that claimed to be able to customize the cover of the New Year's red envelope, and the two sides had in-depth communication on the design of the red envelope cover, ** and other details. Xiao Li was satisfied with the design provided by the "merchant" and decided to customize it. According to the agreement between the two parties, Xiao Li needs to pay 500 yuan as a deposit in advance, and pay the balance after the cover is completed. Xiao Li did not suspect it, and quickly paid the deposit through WeChat transfer.
However, things didn't go as expected. Two days later, when Xiao Li contacted the "merchant" with anticipation to inquire about the progress of the production, he found that he had been blocked by the other party and the WeChat message could not be delivered. At this time, Xiao Li realized that he might have been scammed and immediately reported the case to the local public security organ.
After receiving the report, the Nanhai Public Security Bureau quickly launched an investigation. **Remind the general public that the WeChat red envelope cover itself does not charge any fee to the recipient, and only charges 1 yuan for the red envelope cover maker. Any custom party accounts involved in violations will be subject to severe penalties. WeChat red envelope covers that have passed the review will be removed from the shelves, red envelope covers that have been collected will no longer be available, and red envelope covers that have not yet been distributed will not be able to continue to be distributed. In addition, such customizers will not be able to customize any red packet covers through the WeChat Red Packet Cover Open Platform for 1 month.
* said that the fraud case encountered by Xiao Li is not an isolated case, and as the Spring Festival approaches, there has been an increase in similar fraud cases in the name of customizing red envelope covers. Criminals often take advantage of citizens' expectations for the festival atmosphere and their demand for personalized customization to commit fraud through false propaganda, low prices** and other means.
