Scammers are skilled at creating emotional dependence and information cocoons, keeping victims in a state of psychological isolation. Making them believe that the investment they are making will definitely bring rich returns will actually make them see the police officers as a stumbling block to their dream of getting rich. The same case was also played out in Ningbo, Zhejiang. I won't be deceived, I just sent a plush toy to the child! "Faced with the police's door-to-door dissuasion, the person involved repeatedly denied sending valuable items. What he didn't know was that his investment of 110000 yuan almost went down the drain. Repeatedly denying being scammed with 110000 yuan in cash stuffed into plush toys, Ningbo Haishu Public Security has received anti fraud warning clues. Mr. Chen, who is under the jurisdiction of Duantang Police Station, is currently suffering from telecommunications network fraud and has already sent out packages containing valuable items. Without further delay, the police quickly came to inspect the situation. Mr. Chen initially claimed that he did not send any express delivery, but later changed his statement and said that it was a birthday of a business friend's child, and he sent a plush toy as a gift. As the police continued to dissuade him, another police officer in charge of tracking the courier received good news: the suspicious package sent by Mr. Chen had been successfully intercepted. After preliminary inspection, it was found that the package contained a large amount of cash. The police informed Mr. Chen of the truth, and in the face of solid clues, Mr. Chen's previously forced composure instantly disintegrated. On the way to the express station with the police, he finally revealed the truth of the matter. The police inquired and learned that Mr. Chen met a netizen who claimed to be able to exchange Chinese yuan for US dollars through a special channel, with profits far exceeding the market level. After tasting the sweetness of small-scale investment, Mr. Chen believed it to be true and prepared to increase investment. At this time, the other party demanded that he send the cash to a designated location by express delivery under the pretext of "transaction limit", which led to the scene of Mr. Chen hiding 110000 yuan in cash in a plush toy and sending it out. Fortunately, the police intercepted him in time and helped him avoid property damage. After the police's anti fraud propaganda and education, Mr. Chen finally realized that he was deeply involved in a scam. After arriving at the courier station, Mr. Chen opened the plush turtle package he had previously sent and successfully recovered 110000 yuan in cash. Everyone on site finally breathed a sigh of relief. The police remind individuals that buying and selling foreign exchange must be handled through legitimate financial institutions such as banks. Any request to bypass regulatory channels and engage in so-called "high interest exchange" through cash mail or other means is considered fraud. In case of similar situations, you can call the 96110 anti fraud hotline for consultation and verification, and keep your own property safe. The ancient saying goes, 'There is a golden house in a book.' But if one day someone really asks you to hide cash in a book and send it out, you should be vigilant. The hidden treasure in this' book 'may not be wealth, but a trap. A man from Meishan, Sichuan, witnessed a real-life "book trap" where he was nearly scammed out of 60000 yuan in cash. Recently, the Anti Fraud Center of Hongya County Public Security Bureau in Meishan City, Sichuan Province received an urgent warning: a person in the jurisdiction may be experiencing fraud and is preparing to deliver 60000 yuan in cash to the scammer. The police quickly activated the emergency response mechanism. The police quickly identified a restaurant chef named Du who had a large cash withdrawal record on that day through the "Police Enterprise Cooperation" platform. Almost simultaneously, the "Police Enterprise Collaboration" platform also received critical information that a courier company found abnormal weight when receiving a package that Du had already packaged. Subsequently, the courier opened the box in front of Du and found a large amount of cash hidden in the book. He promptly returned it and reported it to the police. The police quickly rushed to Du's dormitory. On his desk, there is the returned 'book' lying. It is understood that Du is a restaurant chef, single, and has a simple social circle. At the end of last year, he met a "girlfriend" who claimed to be a securities company executive on a dating app. The other party asks for warmth and comfort every day, and the relationship quickly heats up. This' executive girlfriend 'also occasionally shares exquisite life photos and screenshots of investment returns, gradually enticing Du to participate in so-called' insider investments'. Under the months long emotional cultivation and temptation of interests, Du gradually let go of his guard and even applied for a loan of 60000 yuan, preparing to invest all of his money in this' guaranteed profit 'scam. Remote control: The victim was lured into storing 60000 yuan in cash in a book under the remote control of the fraudster. Du stuffed thick cash into three books with hollowed out pages, wrapped them in black plastic bags, and prepared to send them out. The fraudster claimed that this was to "avoid financial regulatory risk control". The police pointed out that this is a typical "friend investment" scam, also known as the "pig killing plate". Yang Hua, a police officer from the Anti Fraud Center of Hongya County Public Security Bureau: Scammers often use virtual identities to establish emotional relationships with victims, gain trust, and then use high returns and guaranteed profits as bait to guide victims to invest funds on virtual platforms or through hidden offline methods. Once successful, immediately lose contact. The "hidden gold in books" encountered by Du is a new type of means of transferring stolen funds. When the police found Du Ting, he still had doubts about his "girlfriend" and her investment plan. The police patiently persuaded him and analyzed the fraudster's words and methods, and Du finally woke up. New tricks: Offline transfer of funds, specialized packaging of gifts. According to the National Anti Fraud Center, investment and wealth management fraud methods have been constantly innovated in recent years, but the core tricks have remained unchanged. They all use "high rebates" as bait and exploit the victims' greed psychology to carry out fraud. So, what are the characteristics of these new fraud methods? Li Zhenkai, a police officer from the National Anti Fraud Center: The first is the offline transfer of funds. Fraudsters can better evade the supervision of public security organs or banks on online fund transfers by transferring gold and cash offline, making their transfer methods more covert. The second is the professionalization of gift packaging. Scammers certainly won't say that I asked you to do this to help me avoid so-called risks. They will tell you some very professional vocabulary, such as judicial capital verification, price protection and loss prevention, online risk control, etc. They may even send you so-called operation procedures to make you feel so professional. This is definitely a formal process. The third is that the cost of committing the crime is low and the concealment is very high. Books and boots are common items in our daily lives, with strong concealment. When scammers ask you to hide cash or gold inside, it is easy to escape the inspection of the courier and achieve their goal. The National Anti Fraud Center reminds that anyone who requests you to transfer funds offline, especially through strange ways such as hiding cash and gold mail through boots, books, shoe boxes, Douban sauce, etc., is definitely a fraud and should be vigilant. If you have been deceived, you should promptly report to the police for stop loss. Li Zhenkai, a police officer from the National Anti Fraud Center: Firstly, it is important to promptly preserve all evidence, including chat records between you and the fraudster, photos of the package, tracking numbers, and the time of mailing; Secondly, it is necessary to call the courier company's phone number as soon as possible to inform them that the package is "involved in fraud" and to intercept it urgently. At the same time, call the 110 emergency hotline to explain the item with hidden gold, the time and location of mailing. The earlier you report to the police, the greater the possibility of recovery.
