Yangzi Evening News reported on April 1 (Correspondent Jiang Jingxuan, Reporter Mei Jianming) Recently, the police from the Dingshan Police Station of Jiangbei New District Branch of Nanjing Public Security Bureau received a report from Ms. Li, a resident of the jurisdiction, saying that she had been cheated of more than 30,000 yuan.
Ms. Li told the police that not long ago, she received an application from a strange friend, and the other party’s notes were community epidemic prevention staff and they wanted to count the vaccination status. Ms. Li agreed to the other party’s friend’s application without thinking too much. After adding friends, Ms. Li found herself being pulled into a chat group. "After joining the group, I saw that many people were pulled in one after another, and some people asked when they could start vaccination." Ms. Li said, but not long after, Ms. Li found that the group name had been changed to a "part-time group", and some part-time task information was also released in the group.

"I was also skeptical at the beginning, but someone soon posted the screenshot of the rebate, and it felt that it should be true, so I asked how to operate it and wanted to try it." Ms. Li said. Afterwards, Ms. Li contacted the other party and completed the order-brushing task as required by the other party, and received a commission of more than 200 yuan. At this time, the other party sent another web link, asking Ms. Li to download the software based on the link to perform new tasks. After receiving the rebate, Ms. Li no longer doubted and downloaded the software as required. Under the "guidance" of the other party, she recharged more than 30,000 yuan into the platform for five times to complete the order brushing task. The task was completed. When Ms. Li was about to withdraw cash, she found that the platform could not withdraw cash and wanted to ask the other party that had been blocked and lost contact. It was not until this time that Ms. Li realized that she had been cheated and quickly called the police for help.
The police officer in charge of the case told reporters that the criminals pretended to be epidemic prevention staff, deceived the victims into trusting and adding friends, and then pulled them into the preset like-swer group to share screenshots of the profits of "like-swer group" in the group. The victims were "hunting" to make the victims excited and thus completed several "likes" work, and the wages were settled quickly in the early stage, so that the victims could quickly taste the sweetness.
After winning trust, the scammer will use the higher the unit price of the order-brushing product, the higher the commission as bait, inducing the victim to invest more principal. If the victim believes that he can make money before, he will fall into the trap set by the scammer without hesitation and transfer money according to the scammer's requirements. When the task is completed, the scammer will refuse to return it for various reasons. In order to get the principal and rebates, the victims will often fall into the trap of order brushing, and they will fall deeper and deeper. In fact, the rebate screenshots and group members in the group are all fake, and the scammers are just doing things to cooperate with the scam.
Police remind: In daily life, citizens must be vigilant against such application for verification of add friends, and do not easily believe the words of strangers, and do not fall into the fraud trap designed by criminals because of a little profit. During the epidemic, if you change the method of fraud, you should remember one thing: brushing orders is fraud! Once you find that you have been cheated, you must keep the relevant evidence and call the police as soon as possible.
