During the live broadcast, the "lecturer" team repeatedly said that retail investors were not sure about the A-share market, encouraged everyone to speculate in "futures" and occasionally showed their "futures" accounts, showing that they had made a lot of money.

Uncle Lu, who is over 60 years old, has been fascinated by stock trading recently and often browse stock trading information shared by netizens on the Internet. Under the instigation of a netizen, Mr. Lu joined a WeChat group called "20 times a year for real trading". Someone in the group regularly sends links to live stock trading on "lecturers". During the live broadcast, the "lecturer" team repeatedly said that retail investors were not sure about the A-share market, and encouraged everyone to speculate on " futures " and occasionally posted their "futures" accounts, showing that they had made a lot of money.

One day

The news of "making money opportunity" was sent to the group

... ...

Uncle Lu was moved after seeing it

Immediately followed the guidance of "lecturer assistant" Xiao Wu

Uncle 4Uncle activates the "futures" account

and deposits 20,000 yuan

. On the same day, when Mr. Lu saw that the book amount of "futures" increased to 28,000 yuan, he was immediately happy. Unexpectedly, in less than a week, Mr. Lu lost 21,000 yuan.

Uncle Lu found the "lecturer" to report the situation. The "lecturer" blamed Uncle Lu for placing too little funds, and said that if he wanted to make money back, he could only invest more money. Uncle Lu believed it and invested 40,000 yuan one after another, but in less than a month, all the 60,000 yuan spent on pension money was lost and he lost all his money. The previously enthusiastic "lecturer" had already blocked him and the WeChat group was disbanded. Only then did Mr. Lu realize that he had been deceived!

The so-called " stock index futures " trading platform in this case is actually a false platform built by fraud gangs. Scammers first let the victim make some "small money" and can withdraw cash freely. After gaining trust, they can lure the victim to invest more funds and manipulate the platform to make them lose money, thus falling into a vicious cycle of continuous additional investment in an attempt to make a profit.

How do the elderly prevent

Investment and financial management fraud?

1. If the elderly have investment and financial management needs, they should understand the specific content of the investment and financial management project in detail and actively communicate with their children. At the same time, we must abstain from greed and establish a rational concept of investment and financial management. We must not believe in false propaganda of "stable profits but no losses" and "risk-free and high returns". We must not invest in projects with unclear business and unknown risks, so as not to fall into financial management traps.

2. You should purchase investment and financial products through formal channels, and do not trust "masters" of unknown origin and join the so-called "investment and financial management" group.

3. Pay attention to protecting personal information and do not provide strangers with important information such as ID cards, bank cards, verification codes, payment passwords, etc.
