Ms. Wang has been living outside the province in recent years, and the available phone number is from Guizhou. On the afternoon of September 22, outside the province, she suddenly received a call from a staff member of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. But what happened next made her feel that she was likely to have encountered a scammer.
Ms. Wang told reporters that she is from Guizhou. In recent years, due to the epidemic, she has not returned to Guizhou. In the afternoon of that day, a strange phone call with "00" beginning with made her feel a little strange.
Ms. Wang: "He said, I am the Guizhou Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, you need to undergo centralized isolation. Please pack your luggage immediately. Someone will pick you up to the hotel to quarantine." On the phone, the other party said it very well, not only knowing Ms. Wang's name, but even her home address was clear. However, the next few questions asked by the other party made Ms. Wang feel something was wrong.
Ms. Wang: "I asked him which district I belong to, and which district you are in, what area do you want to send me to isolate and what hotel I send me to isolate?" The other end of the phone was speechless for a moment. Immediately afterwards, Ms. Wang asked a few more questions, and the other party even cursed and hung up the phone.
Ms. Wang: "Then I heard it was very noisy there. There were many people in it calling. Then I asked a few questions and he hung up the phone."
Then, Ms. Wang contacted the Guizhou Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention specifically for this matter. After learning about the relevant isolation policies, Ms. Wang felt that she had encountered a scammer. Moreover, a few minutes later, Ms. Wang received information from Guiyang Anti-Fraud Center, which once again confirmed this.
Ms. Wang: "I am away from home and think things are strange. If I are in Guiyang City, I may be cheated. The reason why I want to call you is to remind everyone to prevent being deceived."
In fact, many people have received such "quarantine fraud" calls. The reporter learned from Guizhou Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention that in recent times, some citizens have received online calls from unknown sources. Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds citizens that this is a fraudulent call, and you must be vigilant and beware of being deceived.
