I was defrauded by the telecommunications network. I am sharing this in the hope that everyone will take it as a warning.
As the old saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. Yesterday, on 520, I was so excited to have a great time, but my grandma suddenly had a cerebral infarction. After a day of trouble, I thought she would be better today, but she turned out to be half paralyzed.
If there are old readers who know that the gorilla grew up with his grandparents.
Well, today another unexpected thing happened: my wife was defrauded by telecommunications network fraud.
Such a low-level online fraud actually happened to my wife. It’s not her fault, but my fault that I didn’t educate her about it.
What happened was that my wife had been looking for a job and sending out resumes on 58.com these days, and then someone claiming to be from the HR department called her, added her on WeChat, and sent her a link, asking her to download an APP called "Taoyi Zhuan." The link basically asked her to transfer money to her bank card and she would get a cashback. There are more scams like this on Weibo, similar to "you transfer 10,000 yuan to me and I'll give you 200 yuan back."
At the beginning, my wife earned a few dozen yuan, and then today she transferred 500 yuan to the other party. At this time, she could not withdraw the money. The other party gave various reasons saying that it was not right. If someone who knew a little about telecommunications fraud, he would definitely understand that this was a trap.
But my wife fell into the trap. She didn't dare tell me and directly borrowed 2,000 yuan from her friend and transferred it to the other party one by one. At this time, she still couldn't withdraw the cash. My wife was not alert at all. On the contrary, she thought that as long as she transferred another 10,000 yuan according to the other party's instructions, she could withdraw the cash successfully. So she called me and asked me to transfer the 10,000 yuan tuition prepared for my daughter to her first.
At that time, I just briefly mentioned it, asking people not to be cheated. My wife told me not to worry about it, and then she transferred the money to Tongfang.
There are three payments in total, the first one is 500 yuan, the second one is 3,000 yuan, and the third one is 10,000 yuan, totaling 13,500 yuan.
When I met my wife and learned about this, my first reaction was that I had been cheated. I should have called the police immediately. If I had acted quickly, I might have been able to freeze the other party's account.
But my wife was still hoping for a lucky break, so she transferred the third payment to the other party at 1 o'clock. She didn't give up until 2:30 and followed me to call the police.
I have written novels about telecommunications fraud. I even bought several books specifically to research telecommunications fraud so that I could write well. However, I did not expect that I would suffer from telecommunications fraud for the first time in my life.
What should you do if you encounter telecommunications fraud?
I think the most important thing is to give up the mentality of getting lucky and call the police immediately, no matter whether the money can be recovered or not. Like my wife, she should have been alert immediately when she got the first 500 yuan, but she kept relying on luck and called the police several hours late. By the time the criminal police team checked, the money was gone.
Secondly, as relatives or friends, never blame the victims for not being able to see through such a simple scam. Because after being defrauded by telecommunications fraud, they will be extremely remorseful and even want to die. At this time, all we can do is comfort and accompany them.
When I was accompanying my wife in recording her statement, four people came to report to the police within two hours. The first one was also defrauded of 11,000 yuan due to fake orders. The second one was defrauded of 20,000 yuan because he received a call from a credit investigation saying that his credit was not up to standard. The third one received a call from someone pretending to be her boss and asked her to transfer money, and he was defrauded of more than 60,000 yuan.
Normally, no one would think that they would be deceived, and how could they be deceived by such a simple scam? ?
But the actual situation is far worse than we imagined. Now I can understand that telecommunications and Internet frauds are not too complicated, no matter how many cases they are made, because sometimes it may just be a step away.
Well, I posted this in the hope that everyone can learn from it. Even if you think you are smart and won’t do it, you must tell your family, because that’s how gorillas do it.
