Doesn't that sound romantic?
At last. "Key Customer" asks the merchant to provide a bank account number
Ask the merchant to ship the goods on time after receiving the money.
But be careful!
There's a lot of money to be had!
Ms. Sun and her husband, Mr. Wang, run a flower shop in Lanshan District. In January 2024, Ms. Sun received a special order, and at that time, someone added Ms. Sun's WeChat, saying that she wanted to pack a bouquet of "rich flowers" gift box. The so-called "money to spend" is to put RMB cash in a flower gift box.
This kind of bouquet is occasionally ordered by customers, but most of them are 1,000 yuan. This customer is very "generous", and is ready to put 20,000 yuan in cash on the flowers, plus 180 yuan for the manual fee of wrapping flowers, a total of 20,180 yuan needs to be paid.
During this period, the customer transferred 180 yuan of manual fees to Ms. Sun through WeChat, and asked her for a bank card number, saying that 20,000 yuan would be paid by bank card transfer, and Ms. Sun provided Mr. Wang's bank card to the customer.
Because the amount involved was relatively large, after confirming that the 20,000 yuan had been received, Ms. Sun asked Mr. Wang to take out the money and make a "money to spend" gift box according to the other party's requirements and send it to the designated place.
A "bouquet" made by Ms. Sun
After arriving at the designated location, Mr. Wang contacted the person who received the flowers provided by the customer, but the mobile phone number of the customer was down, so Mr. Wang contacted the customer again through WeChat, and the customer claimed to ask Mr. Wang to wait at the designated location for a while. It didn't take long for a man wearing a hood and a mask to remove the bouquet.
Subsequently, Mr. Wang, who was busy working, suddenly found that the bank card he used to collect money was frozen by the public security organs, and he also received a summons from the Anti-Fraud Center of the Lanshan Public Security Bureau.
The 20,000 yuan is the stolen money that the fraudsters defrauded from the victim, and the other party transfers the stolen money to you to withdraw cash in the way of buying 'money to spend', so as to cash out the money and 'launder'! As soon as Mr. Wang heard this, he realized the true intention of the "customer". I thought it was a flower business, but I didn't expect it to be used to launder money.
At present, the case is being further handled.
"Money to spend" turned into "money laundering flowers"?
Actually, it's a kind of thing.
New types of money laundering.
If you don't pay attention to it, you will.
Fall into the trap of "helping letters".

Fraudsters contact merchants through online platforms or local personnel to target the psychology of merchants to serve customers and put forward personalized needs. Merchants have made similar customized gift boxes in the early stage or based on large orders, most of them will cater to customer needs and relax their vigilance. Usually fraudsters will give priority to the purchase of goods that are easy to realize (such as tobacco and alcohol, flower gift boxes, **, etc.), and offer to transfer the money into the bank card account of the merchant operator and ask him to provide the bank card number. Subsequently, the fraudster gave the card number** to the victim of the wire fraud case. The "advance payment" received by the merchant is actually the "stolen money" in other cases. In this way, the merchant operator inadvertently became the "money laundering**" of the fraudsters, and at the same time, the merchant account was frozen, and even caused a significant loss of the funds involved in the case being deducted.
*Remind. The majority of merchants.
Be cautious about receiving orders.
Standardize the collection process.
Be more vigilant when encountering large-amount transfer consumption
Don't be overlooked
Become a tool for fraudsters to launder money
