In the digital age, online dating has become a new way for people to socialize. However, there are also hidden risks behind this. In March 2024, Ms. He of Anzhou District, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, experienced an unusual "online relationship". She met a man who claimed to be a suitor online, but she didn't expect to receive a transfer of 200,000 yuan in a week. At first, Ms. Ho was confused by the sudden fortune, but then her instincts told her that there might be a secret behind it.
Ms. Ho's online "suitor" identified herself as Cheng Zhiyuan, claiming to work for a company in another country, hoping to find an ideal partner. Soon after the two chatted on social media, Zheng Zhiyuan began to introduce the so-called "investment and financial management" opportunities to Ms. He, and claimed that he had inside information to ensure a high return on investment. In order to prove his sincerity, Zheng Zhiyuan also transferred 5,000 yuan to Ms. He and asked her to help recharge it on an investment platform.
In the following week, Ms. He received a total of 200,000 yuan in transfers. Zheng Zhiyuan told her that the money was used for investment and asked her to take out the cash for temporary safekeeping. Faced with this sudden huge amount of money, Ms. He felt uneasy, and she began to suspect that the ** of the money might not be legitimate.
Suspicious, Ms. Ho chose to call the police. After an investigation, it was found that the money actually came from the account of a victim of telecom fraud. It turned out that Zheng Zhiyuan was an online fraudster who used Ms. Ho's bank account as a transit point for transferring fraudulent funds. Fortunately, Ms. He reported to the police in time and did not become a fraudster.
This incident not only reveals the potential dangers behind online dating, but also shows Ms. Ho's vigilance and courage. In the era of online dating, we must remain vigilant and not take any form of "investment and financial management"** lightly. At the same time, it also reminds us that when faced with unknown funds, it is wisest to choose to call the police.
Through this incident, ** once again reminds the general public to be vigilant when making friends online, not to easily disclose personal information, and not to believe in the so-called "investment and financial management" opportunities. When encountering similar situations, timely reporting to the police is the best way to protect yourself and others' property.
