bought several thousand yuan of valuables, pretended to scan the QR code to pay, and escaped on a motorcycle while the shop owner wasn't paying attention. Recently, Changzhou Wujin police uncovered a serial fraud case involving scanning codes. Hu, a 28-year-old man from Yixing, committed more than 10 crimes in 6 days and defrauded tens of thousands of yuan without ever missing a beat.

What is surprising is that Hu, who committed the crime crazily, is actually a "rich second generation". His family runs a factory, and his parents give him 20,000 yuan in pocket money every month, but he still feels that it is not enough. He himself lamented that these stores were so deceitful that although he had prepared countermeasures if he was discovered, he never used them once. Currently, the case is still under further investigation.

html At about 10 a.m. on April 18, Wujin Caoqiao Golden Triangle East Road, a male customer came to the cigarette shop run by Chen. When he entered, he asked if there was any high-end wine and wanted to treat the boss to dinner. Afterwards, he took 2 bottles of Wuliangye and 2 packs of Tianye cigarettes, totaling 2,005 yuan. When checking out, the man scanned the QR code in the store using WeChat, chatted with Chen, and walked out using his mobile phone. Chen didn't pay attention at the time because scanning the QR code to pay would be delayed, but after waiting for a while, she found that neither , Alipay, nor WeChat had received the money, so she told the man. At this time, the man had walked to the door and got on his motorcycle. Seeing Chen chasing him out, he turned the accelerator and ran away.

Not long after Chen called the police, the police received another similar call.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning that day, a big customer came to a mobile phone store on Zhenxing East Road, Caoqiao, Wujin. He asked for a new Apple mobile phone worth more than 8,500 yuan to give to the boss, and he did not need to issue an invoice. After this person took the mobile phone, he did not check it carefully and just scanned the QR code to pay while walking out. The shop owner felt something strange and hurriedly followed him out, but the man got on his motorcycle and ran away in a hurry.

After two similar reports were reported to the police, the police immediately merged the cases for investigation. After collecting surrounding surveillance, it was found that the suspect was a man about 1.75 meters tall and wearing glasses. Every time he committed a crime, he rode a bicycle from Yixing, Yixing, and returned after committing the crime, and finally disappeared in Xinzhuang Town, Yixing City, Yixing. The police immediately found the suspect's foothold in Yixing based on the suspect's physical characteristics and route analysis. At around 9 pm on April 19, police arrested the suspect Hu in an office building in the center of Yixing.

After investigation, 28-year-old Hu committed more than 10 crimes in Wujin, Yixing and other places from April 13 to 19, and obtained tens of thousands of yuan. What is surprising is that he is also the legal representative of a local environmental protection company in Yixing. Hu confessed that his father is the actual operator of the company, and the results are very good. His parents give him 20,000 yuan in pocket money every month, but he spends money lavishly. He spends money in restaurants every meal and nearly 10,000 yuan in a bar. The pocket money is not enough at all. use. Recently, he took out a loan to buy a high-end car and had to pay back 60,000 yuan per month. In order to show in front of his father that he was not a swinger who could only spend money but not make money, he had an idea and came up with the idea of ​​scanning QR code to pay for fraud. In order to win the trust of the store owner, he would pretend to ask the store owner if the name and amount were correct when scanning the code. In fact, Hu himself felt that this method was quite stupid and could not succeed every time. For this reason, he also thought of a countermeasure, that is, once discovered by the store owner, he would pretend that he entered the wrong password and pay again. However, there have been so many crimes. They all succeeded.

The police reminded that it is indeed convenient to scan the QR code to pay. In the face of this new type of fraud, you must strengthen your awareness of prevention and confirm that the money has been received before handing over the goods to the other party.
