New store opening to send microwave? Beware it's a scam!

“The new store is open, give away 1,000 microwave ovens!” “The event is real and effective, hurry up to scan the QR code to get it!” Similar copywriting has recently spread in WeChat Moments, which makes people excited. Tang Shuai, the assistant police officer of Wanxiang Police Station of Pudong Public Security Bureau, was very strange when he heard his friend talk about this incident. With a skeptical attitude, he decisively scanned the code and entered the group, and found that it was a new “routine” of fraudsters!

“Have you heard about a free microwave oven event?” Recently, a friend asked a simple question, which made Tang Shuai, an auxiliary police officer who has worked in the public security for two years, to his heart. Tang Shuai, who had doubts in his heart, immediately decided to try it himself to distinguish the true from the false and prevent others from being deceived. Tang Shuai used WeChat to scan the QR code on the copy, and added a WeChat account calling himself “customer service”. The other party said that the “free” microwave oven “real” exists, but he needs to send the copy of the activity to his circle of friends according to his requirements, which is successful After sending, the “customer service” can pull him into a QQ group, and the group can inquire about express delivery and other information.

“Wechat for a while, QQ group for a while, there is a problem!” Tang Shuai successfully entered a QQ group after sending a small “circle of friends” according to the request of the other party. “Can I really get a microwave oven?” The group was very lively, and many people asked questions, and then a special person asked everyone to wait patiently on the grounds of “explosion”.

The attentive Tang Shuai quickly discovered the swindle exposed by the liar. There were a lot of “swiping orders” recruitment information in the group, and a QR code for “swiping orders” QQ group appeared. Tang Shuai scanned the code again and entered a group called “So-and-so After-sales”, and found that all the screenshots posted in the group were making money, which was very tempting.

So far, Tang Shuai can basically determine that this is a fraud routine. In order to prove the guess, he followed the request of the other party all the way. After confirming that it was a fraud, Tang Shuai immediately reported the group on the platform and posted it in the group. Carry out anti-fraud publicity.

In order to prevent more people from being deceived, Tang Shuai immediately explained the situation to the police handling the case, and “refuted rumors” about the free collection in the circle of friends, and carried out “anti-fraud propaganda” in the circle of friends based on actual cases. To avoid everyone being deceived.

Police remind: No matter what identity the liar pretends to be, and how many circles the liar goes around, the ultimate goal is to “transfer and remit money”. You must be vigilant when it comes to information about money issues, and don’t trust others. Once you find that you have been deceived, please call the police in time and provide the police with clues!
