Nowadays, there are more and more tricks used by scammers, but some people are often fooled by some small tricks. The following thing is a reminder to everyone.
On January 23 this year, a male customer came to a gold store on Electronic Street in Xi'an and picked out a piece of jewelry for a long time. Policeman After looking at a 28.8-gram gold ring, the man asked the clerk if he could exchange the gold for a gold ring. The clerk said yes.
The clerk was naturally very happy when the business came. When he greeted him warmly, the man took out a large gold bar from his bag. The clerk roasted it over a fire and after a simple inspection, he felt that the quality was OK.
The gold bar became more and more yellow as the fire burned. The clerk looked really good, so he agreed to exchange it for the man. I exchanged a 28.8-gram gold ring for the man, and paid the man 5,200 yuan for the remaining grams according to the recycling price.
During this process, no one had any doubts. It was not until the next day that the clerk discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the gold bar and hurriedly reported it to the store. The store calls the police immediately!
The police identified the metal block as not containing any precious metal components after being identified by relevant agencies. The identification results showed that this so-called large gold bar contained zero content of four precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. On February 21, after receiving the call, the police successfully captured the suspect Chen who was preparing to commit another crime.
According to the criminal suspect Chen, the metal block he used to exchange was purchased from other places at a price of 500 to 600 yuan per piece. He also knew that the metal block was fake.
The man used fake gold bars to put on a good show and actually deceived the real gold store. Such a small trick can work. All merchants should be warned.
The police said that from this case, it can be seen that the gold store did not follow their exchange procedures and did not conduct strict inspection regulations. It simply roasted it with fire, which left an opportunity for the suspects. The 45-year-old suspect Chen is currently under criminal detention on suspicion of fraud.
