Wang runs a timber business in a market in Taizhou, and not long ago, his WeChat received a friend with the screen name "** to apply for verification, claiming to be a teacher at a college, and wanted to purchase a batch of timber.
Wang thought that there was a "big list", so he hurriedly added WeChat to communicate. Wang sent the wood in his store to the other party, and introduced the types and characteristics of various wood for "** selection." "* After determining the timber and quantity, the two parties negotiated to trade with 41,000 yuan, and the other party claimed to deposit 20,000 yuan first, and pay the balance after receiving the goods. Seeing that it was so refreshing, Wang thought it was stable.
The next day, the other party took the initiative to contact and said that he needed to purchase another 300 latex mattresses, but due to financial regulations, he could not directly trade with a mattress "** business", hoping that Wang would help purchase on his behalf, and said that the money would be transferred first. After Wang agreed, the other party immediately sent a screenshot of the transfer of 164,000 yuan, but Wang saw that he did not receive the funds in his card, so he went to inquire, but the other party said that the inter-bank transfer could not arrive until it was late. Wang believed it to be true, added the WeChat of the mattress "** business" provided by the other party, and paid 50,000 yuan and 114,000 yuan in advance. However, just after placing an order for a mattress, "* also said that Wang also needed to order 600 pillows on his behalf, and Wang realized that something was wrong, so he proposed that he would go to the school for an interview, but when Wang drove to the school and asked the other party to come out to meet, he found that he had been blocked, and then he realized that he had been deceived and lost 164,000 yuan.
*Reminder: Merchants need to be vigilant when encountering similar situations, first of all, to verify the authenticity of their identity, if the transaction cannot verify whether the supplier provided by the other party is legitimate, please terminate the transaction immediately, beware of being deceived. At present, most bank transfers are received in real time, if someone sends a screenshot of the transfer and claims that "it will arrive in a few hours", it is likely to be a scam!
