Large-Scale Telecom and Online Fraud Cases in Hangzhou New Model of 'Online Fraud + Offline Cash Withdrawal'
TapTechNews August 7th news, according to the notice of Hangzhou Public Security Bureau, recently there have been many large-scale telecommunications and online fraud cases in Hangzhou. The scammers all require the victims to directly buy gold or withdraw cash, and then send people to come and take it all away directly, so as to quickly transfer the defrauded funds.
The new type of fraud adopts a new model of 'online fraud + offline cash withdrawal'. TapTechNews attaches a typical case as follows:
Faking as a'soldier' to make friends - a false online investment fraud
Single woman Song某月 in mid-July met Wang某月 who took the initiative to chat up on Xiaohongshu. Wang某月 claimed to be an active-duty military officer in the army, and the two then developed into a lover relationship. Later, Wang某月 said there was an internal investment platform with guaranteed profits. Due to work reasons, he let Song某月 operate the platform account on his behalf. Song某月 followed the instructions and found that the profit was considerable. Under the encouragement of Wang某月, she also registered an account and started to invest.
When Song某月 first recharged and invested 500,000 yuan, she made a small profit and began to continuously increase the investment. Wang某月 also said that by buying gold and handing it over to the person designated by the platform to come and collect, she could get higher rebates. Song某月 then purchased gold worth more than 18.5 million yuan many times, and all directly handed it over to the strange men who came to her home to collect.
It was not until August 2nd that Song某月 found out that she was defrauded because she could not withdraw cash, with a total loss of more than 19 million yuan.
Faking as 'public security and judicial organs' fraud
Retired elderly Wu某月 received a call from a person claiming to be a staff member of the 'Cyber Security Office' in early July, and the other party said that the mobile phone card under his name was suspected of fraud and transferred the call to the 'public security' in Beijing.
In the video call, the 'policeman' in police uniform informed Wu某月 that the case was very serious and would come to Hangzhou to arrest him in person if he did not cooperate. Wu某月 obeyed him completely in order to close the case quickly and bought a brand new mobile phone to report his whereabouts to him every day.
The other party first asked Wu某月 to pay money on the grounds of paying the deposit, and then let Wu某月 buy the money into physical gold, and then directly arranged for'staff' to come and take it away. It was not until Wu某月 received the 96110 persuasion call from the anti-fraud center that he realized he was defrauded, with a total loss of more than 4.1 million yuan.
The police remind: Don't easily believe the investment suggestions of strangers on the Internet; Don't easily believe the high rebates without hard work; The 'public security and judicial organs' will not handle cases online, and will not conduct interrogations and evidence collection by remote means such as telephone, WeChat and video calls, and will not let you directly transfer money or withdraw cash.
