Bang bang bang bang... "We are police officers from the police station. Please open the roll gate . You may be suffering from telecom fraud ." Recently, Ms. Dong from Taiping Town, Conghua District, Guangzhou was preparing to "cooperate with the police investigation" to transfer money, the police officers from Taiping Police Station of the Conghua District Public Security Bureau knocked on the door of her store in time, and held the "purse bag" for her at a critical moment, avoiding a loss of more than 250,000 yuan.
On the afternoon of November 15, the police on duty at Taiping Police Station received a dissuasion warning from the Conghua District Anti-Fraud Center, saying that Ms. Dong in the jurisdiction is very likely to be suffering from fraud. The police quickly came to the door to dissuade him, but when the police arrived at Ms. Dong's residence address, they had no response by ringing the doorbell and knocking on the door. And no one answered the call many times. The police suspected that Ms. Dong had been induced by the scammer to an unmanned place for the next transfer operation.
After careful visits around the area, the police learned that Ms. Dong was running a shop nearby. After the police arrived quickly, they found that the shop rolling gate was closed and they could vaguely hear the sound of conversation inside. The police immediately knocked on the door vigorously, indicating their identity and shouted loudly, and Ms. Dong opened the rolling gate. At this time, Ms. Dong was still talking to the scammer. Seeing this, the police snatched Ms. Dong's cell phone and immediately hung up the phone.
It was learned that Ms. Dong received a call from herself "Hunan Police". She had been talking for more than two hours. The other party said that Ms. Dong's account was suspected of "money laundering" and asked her to cooperate with the investigation, otherwise she would be in prison. Ms. Dong believed it, and then set up unfamiliar call interception according to the other party's request, and also downloaded a video call software of unknown origin, falling into the trap of a scammer step by step.
The police conducted anti-fraud publicity and education on the spot to promote Ms. Dong, but Ms. Dong, who has been "brainwashed" by the scammers, was still half-believing and half-doubted, afraid that she would suffer from prison. The police further explained to her patiently, telling her about common fraud methods and prevention methods such as "impersonating public security, procuratorial and judicial affairs". Finally, Ms. Dong realized that she had been tricked by a fraudster, and she expressed her gratitude to the police and wrote a letter of thanks.
Police remind that the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs will not investigate and deal with illegal and criminal activities through telephone or online, will not publish or allow citizens to search for "wanted warrants" and "arrest warrants" online on the Internet, will not send legal documents and personal work documents through online platforms such as WeChat and QQ, nor will there be a "safety account" or "verification account", and will not notify the person involved by telephone and online to verify funds, transfer money, download APP, etc. In case of similar situations, please stay vigilant and not believe it easily. We must discuss more with our family and friends, so as not to believe it easily, not disclose it, and not transfer money. If you have any questions, you can call 96110 in time or go to a nearby police station for consultation to avoid being deceived.
