Disappearing motorcycles: the secret behind the low price
Recently, Mr. Liu, a citizen of Chengdu, found a second-hand motorcycle merchant with a price significantly lower than the market price on the second-hand trading platform, and he immediately contacted the merchant on the platform, but the other party asked him to add WeChat on the grounds that there were more goods in the circle of friends. On WeChat, Mr. Liu asked the other party about his favorite motorcycle and the purchase matters. 
After hearing about the motorcycle**, Mr. Liu asked why the merchant was so cheap, and the other party explained that "because the car has a higher kilometer". In order to dispel Mr. Liu's doubts, the other party not only showed his business license, but also offered to inspect the goods first and then pay the final payment, and promised to replace Mr. Liu's original scooter. These promises allowed Mr. Liu to gradually let down his guard and pay a deposit of 800 yuan in advance.
A day later, the other party informed Mr. Liu that the motorcycle had been transported to Chengdu, and asked Mr. Liu to add the logistics master's WeChat for handover, and at the same time asked for the final payment. Mr. Liu proposed to inspect the car before paying, but the other party promised that if he was not satisfied with the car inspection, he could get a refund. 
However, Mr. Liu waited for a long time and never received his motorcycle, and the other party did not reply to the message. At this time, he realized that he might have been deceived, so he went to the public security organ to report the case.
Note!
In this kind of **, fraudsters use overseas**, low-price transfers, 0 yuan shopping, and discounts as bait to publish false advertising information of goods on various platforms to induce victims to take the initiative to contact, and after the victim successfully pays, they will be blocked or suddenly lose contact, or on the grounds of additional customs duties, deposits, transaction taxes, handling fees, etc., to trick victims into further transfer and remittance, so as to achieve the purpose of fraud.

**Proxy Investment: Opportunity or Trap?
Coincidentally, Ms. Li, who lives in Wuhou District, also suffered a similar fraud. At the beginning of January, Ms. Li searched for the agency on behalf of ** through her mobile phone browser at home, so that ** could be published in a journal. After some comparison, she clicked on the webpage of a seemingly formal intermediary company and contacted customer service for consultation, and the customer service asked her to add QQ for further communication.
Subsequently, Ms. Li discussed with the other party on WeChat, the details of the release and the process of "cooperation" between the two parties. When everything was negotiated and the two parties were ready to sign the contract, Ms. Li suddenly saw that the contract stated: in order to ensure that the article is not plagiarized, there is no infringement and multiple submissions, a deposit of 50,000 yuan needs to be paid in advance.
Since Ms. Li did not have so much money at that time, after negotiation, the deposit was reduced to 10,000 yuan. When Ms. Li was ready to pay, the payment software kept alerting her that the other party's account was at risk. Ms. Li questioned his identity and the process.
However, these doubts were dispelled one by one by the suspect with pre-prepared words. The other party explained that due to the recent high demand for ** publication and the company's account collection, it was suggested that the transaction was risky, and in order to prove his legitimacy, the suspect also provided the company's "legal person" and his own ID card**. 
After dispelling her concerns, Ms. Li transferred the deposit to the account provided by the other party. Then I found out that I was blocked. At this time, she realized that she had been deceived and immediately went to the public security organ to report to the police.
Note!
In this kind of **, fraudsters publish false service information (such as payment of living expenses, production, production, release, processing, etc.) through web advertisements, and after the victim is hooked, they will trick the victim into transferring money in the name of paying a deposit and deposit, and then block the victim, thereby committing fraud.
