I plan to take my family out for a trip by the end of the year.

When doing travel guides on "Little Red Book".

See a post about buying a ticket at a "low price".

Will you be tempted?

The woman was deceived of more than 4,000 yuan by low-cost air tickets

"When he asked me to add QQ friends, I already had a premonition that I had been deceived...”Ms. Gao (pseudonym) in Hangzhou has a strong sense of anti-fraud in her daily life, and when she mentioned the experience of being deceived, she said bluntly:"It was so good at the time! ”

Ms. Gao plans to take her husband and children to Harbin for a trip in the future, and in order to be fully prepared, she opened the "Little Red Book" and looked at the travel guide. Period,A post popping up about buying a ticket at a "low price" with the nickname "Ticket Information Center" on the account that posted it.

Maybe I've been browsing too much of the relevant informationBig data pushed me this post....The content probably said that the round-trip ticket from Hangzhou to Harbin was sold at a low price, and I thought it was a travel agency, so I contacted the other party in the comment area. Ms. Gao emphasizedAlthough it is "low price", its ** is not low enough to make people questionThis is also the reason why she "took the bait".

Ms. Gao compared prices on other online ticketing platforms and found that "low-priced" tickets were indeed rare, so she added the other party's WeChat friends through private messages, naively thinking that she had picked up a bargain.

Ms. Gao said: "I told the other party the specific arrangements for the flight and itineraryIn contrast, a 'low-priced' ticket is about 400 yuan cheaper than other online ticketing platforms, and I can save more than 1,200 yuan by buying 3 tickets. At first, the other party asked me to pay the full amount, but I was not very reassured, so I paid half of the money as a deposit.

Ms. Gao transferred a deposit of 4,172 yuan to her, the other party asked her to add an unfamiliar QQ account. He asked me to add a QQ account with the nickname Cool* Ticketing, saying that there would be customer service staff to contact me for the specific operation process after the subsequent ticket issuanceAs a result, the next step is to let me ** a screen sharing app, and I want to teach the whole process of voice teaching……Ms. Gao said.

At this moment, Ms. Gao has realized that she has been deceived and decisively called the police! Ms. Gao said. "I've seen cases of 'screen sharing' scams before to transfer money, and this is definitely a scam! ”

At present, the case is under further investigation.
