Among them, the fraud rate of rebate fraud is the highest, accounting for about one-third of the total number of cases.

Shell Finance reporter’s investigation found that for victims of fraud, scammers will not just “snatch” the wool once and then give up. They will often use different means to continue to defraud. Some even specifically search for victims who have been defrauded and provide help. They continued to commit fraud in the name of recovering arrears.

"There are cases showing that fraudsters will use refund registration as a reason to ask victims to provide real ID information, mobile phone numbers, bank card numbers, payment addresses, etc. This user information will be sold to the black market by fraudsters, and continue circulation, exposing victims to new fraud gangs," an expert from Tencent's Guardian Project team told a Shell Finance reporter.

Last year, Shanghai police uncovered a suspect named Sun who pretended to be an "Internet Police" to commit fraud. Sun had pretended to be a "Beijing Internet Police" and placed advertisements on major platforms, cooperating with the "Internet Police Customer Service Hotline" and "National Online Help" Wait for notes and wait for the victim to "take the bait." After the victim contacts him, he will defraud the money on the grounds of helping to track down the criminals, intercepting the funds, and requiring verification of the victim's transfer.

Therefore, the prosecutor reminded citizens to remember the anti-fraud secrets: don’t listen, don’t believe, and don’t transfer.

Compound order-fake routine: order-fake + APP to do tasks

"My colleagues put me in a group at noon that day. After joining, they kept giving out red envelopes and said that we could get commissions by doing simple tasks. , and finally I found out that the 6 people in the group were all 'stooges', working together to deceive me." On July 13, netizen Hu Yangtang told a reporter from Shell Finance that she was tricked by scammers into "swiping tiktok likes and following." He defrauded 30,000 yuan in his name and suffered a second fraud in detail. An investigation by

Shell Finance reporter found that victims were lured into the trap in the name of easy-to-achieve "part-time jobs" and higher profits, and then transferred to other platforms for "likes" and "fake orders" that require advance funds. Carrying out fraud in the name of others is a unified "routine" of this type of fraud.

Hu Daoyun told a reporter from Shell Finance that she was asked to download an APP called "Huina Technology" and said that there were many "tasks" to do in it. After downloading, she tried to do several tasks and earned about 300 yuan on the first day. , and actually cashed out, which made her relax her vigilance.

"There are 21 tasks a day, and the tasks cannot be interrupted, which means that they cannot be skipped. When I complete the 11th task, it will be different. It is no longer the focus. Let us advance the funds and say that there will be cash back later. I thought the return of principal and commission would be the same as the previous day. I could withdraw cash, so I advanced the payment without any hesitation. Only then was I told that I needed to 'make another order' before I could withdraw cash, and this order required an advance payment of 8,188 yuan. After I advanced the payment, the other party said that there was still a 'last order' of 21,888 yuan. , and in the end, he was defrauded of more than 30,000 yuan," Hu Daoyun told a reporter from Shell Finance.

Hu Naoyun provided the Shell Finance reporter with group chat screenshots of how he was deceived.

html On July 18, a reporter from Shell Finance wanted to download the APP according to the link provided by Hu, but found that it had been detected as "malicious and fraudulent content" by Tencent security, and when opened in the browser, it showed "the link has expired." However, in previous investigations, the Beijing News Shell Finance reporter had come into contact with a fraud gang that had almost the same "technique" as the fraud Hu Datong, and learned the specific steps of this fraud method.

First of all, the reporter was pulled into a WeChat group suspected to be controlled by black and gray industry elements by a "handler". The group owner introduced the group as " Evergrande cooperative merchant welfare group" and would give everyone in the group Send out red envelopes and say, "I would like to help you do some small work to increase sales for the group." Receive red envelope rewards." At the request of the group owner, the Shell Finance reporter and some group members downloaded an APP called "Enterprise Secret Letter" and added a "receptionist" to it. The receptionist asked the group members to follow After completing several tasks to follow the public account, the reporter received a "cash back commission" red envelope totaling 20 yuan.

After that, the "receptionist" asked the reporter to post the WeChat red envelope he received in the WeChat group and continue with the next task. However, the next task was to conduct real money gambling on a gambling platform called "500 International" Mark Six Lottery bets to earn double the "commission". If you want to withdraw the principal and commission, you must advance more funds. This is where the real scam begins.

The "receptionist" in the fraud scam asked reporters to show off the red envelopes they received.

In fact, in this type of scam, the first few tasks are to conduct "obedience tests" on the victims, making the victims believe that they can get rebates by doing the "tasks". At this step, the scammer will often offer a small profit to lure the victim into taking the bait, but if the other party takes the bait and actually transfers the money, the scammer will gradually gain the victim's trust and change from passive to active.

In the case where Hu was deceived, the "task" was to make cash withdrawals from "one order" to "two orders". When the victim invested the principal and expected to make a profit, the scammer suddenly said that he needed to advance additional funds to do the "third order". "Three orders", at this time, since the victim has invested a lot of money as sunk cost , the scammer took advantage of the victim's eagerness to recover the principal, and thus the fraud was successful.

"When the other party told me that I had to pay 21,888 yuan in order to withdraw cash in the last order, I was a little panicked, but I really wanted to get back the money I had already paid in advance and withdraw it as soon as possible." Hu Yangyun told a reporter from Shell Finance.

What are the secondary fraud routines? A scammer pretending to be an Internet police officer and hacker

Hu Yangtong told reporters that she had called the police after being deceived, but the police traced the IP address of the scammer group and found that it was in Hong Kong, and said that the money was not easy to recover. After Hu Daoyun posted her case of being defrauded on a social platform, a user contacted her and said, "I have been defrauded before, and later I found someone to help me get my money back."

Hu Daoyun contacted a QQ user named "Tiandao Anti-Black Platform" through this user. The other party said that he could help her recover the money she had been defrauded through code, but would charge a 20% fee.

What makes her feel strange is that although it is a normal communication, the other party insists on bringing in a "two people" to communicate, and once wants to have a voice conversation. This time, Hu is more vigilant and does not agree to the other party's request. Secondly, The other party disbanded the group chat the next day, and all chat records disappeared.

is known as the "Tiandao Anti-Black Platform" that can help victims recover their debts.

In this regard, experts from Tencent’s Guardian Project team said that even after the fraud is completed, the scammer may conduct a second fraud with the purpose of recovering the defrauded money. “There are cases showing that fraudsters will use refund registration as a reason. , let the victim mention Provide real ID card information, mobile phone number, bank card number, payment address, etc. This user information will be sold to the black market by fraudsters and continue to circulate, exposing the victim to new fraud gangs. "

was previously accused of part-time fraud. The victim who was defrauded of 120,000 yuan Su Xiaolan, the reporter, told the Shell Finance reporter that when she was communicating with other victims, she found that someone else was taking advantage of the victim's desire to recover funds, saying that he was a hacker and code farmer , and that he could trace the scammer's information and recover the money. debt, but this is actually a second payment "I know victims who have been deceived twice. I hope everyone can be more vigilant."

Shell Finance reporter also received a private message from a stranger in the group when entering a victim rights protection group, saying Debt can be recovered through technical means.

At the end of October last year, we uncovered a criminal suspect named Sun who pretended to be an "Internet Police" to commit fraud. Sun once pretended to be a "Beijing Internet Police" and posted advertisements on major platforms, cooperating with the "Internet Police Customer Service Hotline" and "National Online Help" Wait for notes and wait for the victim to "take the bait." After the victim contacts him, he will defraud the money on the grounds of helping to track down the criminals, intercepting the funds, and requiring verification of the victim's transfer.

On June 21, 2022, after a public prosecution by the People's Procuratorate of Putuo District, Shanghai, Sun was found guilty of fraud and was sentenced by the court to a fixed-term imprisonment of three years and three months and a fine of RMB 5,000. The prosecutor believes that the defendant Sun, for the purpose of illegal possession, fabricated facts, concealed the truth, and defrauded citizens of huge amounts of money. There were other serious circumstances, and his behavior had violated Article 266 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China. Article 1: If the criminal facts are clear and the evidence is reliable and sufficient, he should be held criminally responsible for fraud.

Prosecutors reminded that public security police will not take the initiative to leave QQ numbers online for contact. If you encounter fraud, please dial "110" immediately, or go to the local public security bureau immediately. Do not trust "Internet police" randomly found on websites or social software. Remember the anti-fraud secrets: don’t listen, don’t believe, don’t transfer.
