Induced to buy "treasury bills"

Journalists have experienced "refund" scams

Under the timely dissuasion of the police, Mr. Dong of Jiangxi avoided being deceived again. While Mr. Dong was recounting his experience of being deceived, our reporter also received a courier package with a so-called "refund" notice.

The "Refund Announcement" received by the reporter wrote that an educational institution could not continue to operate due to insufficient ability and poor management, resulting in a broken capital chain, and the refund settlement will be fully carried out from now on.

By scanning the QR code, the reporter added a stranger named "12315 online customer service" as a friend, the other party said that "according to the relevant requirements of the document, this time is a full refund, considering that the Education Bureau and the Ministry of Finance have not allocated the refund funds, the China Consumers Association and Ping An Group of China specially decided to transfer 2000 million shares of treasury bills as the starting capital for this refund", at the same time, the reporter was invited to join a chat group, in the group chat, from time to time some members posted screenshots of the refund they had received.

The administrator of the chat group also guided the reporter to download a mobile phone software called "12315 China Consumer Association" to buy so-called "treasury bills", and asked the reporter to provide mobile banking account numbers and related personal information.

CCTV reporter Ye Huan: This is the "12315 China Consumer Association" software that I downloaded according to the link provided by the other party, but it is actually counterfeit. The blue logo of "National 12315 Platform" next to it is the real official software, which is the regular software we downloaded from the official website of 12315. There are many scams like this, and we must be vigilant.

"12315" "Ministry of Education" still fake?

Beware of scam new tricks

Recently, Ms. Ma from Pinghu, Zhejiang Province, like reporters, also received a similar unfamiliar courier with a refund notice from a training institution, this time in the name of the so-called "Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China". So what happened after Ms. Ma scanned the QR code and downloaded the software?

Zhejiang Pinghu victim Ms. Ma: I did apply for (online training) before, so I didn't think much about it, so I scanned the QR code and downloaded the software.

Ms. Ma downloaded the software named "12315" according to the link sent by the online customer service. The other party told Ms. Ma that the first payment was a subsidy of 80 yuan for tuition fees, and the second payment needed to use her own working capital to purchase treasury bills to exchange tuition fees.

Zhejiang Pinghu victim Ms. Ma: 12315, I didn't think much about it, it must be fine, I saw that they said that they all retreated, then I want to try it too. At the beginning, I made two orders, the first order was (purchase) 500 (yuan treasury bills), returned 100 (yuan), the second order was (purchased) 1000 (yuan treasury bills), returned 200 (yuan), the third order, he told me that 500, 1000 is gone, only 3000, 1,3000, do you do it? Then I will make a <> (yuan treasury bill), and the result is directly that I did it wrong.

At this time, Mr. Wang, who called himself a "planner", announced everyone in the group that everyone's treasury bill account was frozen because of Ms. Ma's mistake. The solution is that Ms. Ma must buy another 3,<> yuan or <>,<> yuan of treasury bills to make up for the losses of other students and companies to unfreeze.

Zhejiang Pinghu victim Ms. Ma: After the result of 15000,21000 shots, he told me that he had to spend more, and then I cobbled together <>,<>.

Just as Ms. Ma was about to continue the additional investment, the police of the anti-fraud center found her and applied for an emergency stop payment on her bank account.

Fall into the "Swipe Rebate" scam

In addition to the so-called "scan code refund", recently, many netizens have shared different experiences of receiving strange couriers, and the express they received is a mobile phone rack and a scratch ticket, what is this routine?

Ms. Yu, who lives in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, recently received such a strange courier, a mobile phone holder, an invitation letter with the payment of "A Certain Treasure Alliance", and a scratch ticket with a QR code.

Jiangsu Yixing victim Ms. Yu: To scan the QR code, redeem the amount of the winning lottery above, after scanning, add it to a customer service through WeChat, this customer service pulls us into the intercom group, we have to enter the group to receive the (winning) amount, after redeeming the red envelope, say that this WeChat red envelope will have a limit, and say whether to pull the people in the group into their App to do the task.

After receiving a small rebate, Ms. Yu began to believe that the transaction was real and valid, and under the guidance of customer service, Ms. Yu downloaded a mobile phone app and was pulled into a small group of 5 people. The agent promises to return the investment fee three times, the larger the amount, the more cashback.

Jiangsu Yixing victim Ms. Yu: Their script, that is, after (investing) 2,3, (said) I and another person made an operational error, if you want to get back the principal and return money, you need to give him another <>,<> yuan to modify this data back.

At this time, the rest of the group began to put pressure on Ms. Yu in disguise, asking Ms. Yu to make up for the loss and unfreeze the investment account as soon as possible.

Jiangsu Yixing victim Ms. Yu: Because this task is done by four people together, one is me, one is the person who takes the task, and the other three are Tuo.

Police Tips:

Receiving an unfamiliar courier Do not trust the QR code

We saw that the case just now has the so-called "scan code refund", or "free gift" and other strange couriers, which are actually fraud tricks that fraudsters have painstakingly renewed. The police remind everyone that when receiving an inexplicable courier, they should check with relatives and friends first, and do not blindly sign for payment; When encountering unfamiliar QR codes and unfamiliar links, do not easily scan or click, and do not download apps from unknown sources, so as not to fall into the trap of scammers.

He Zhu, police officer of the Longgang Branch of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau: Suddenly received an unknown courier, which contained small gifts, winning cards, and even refund notices in the name of state organs. No matter what kind of items in the express, there is a common feature, that is, you are required to scan the code to enter the group chat or download the App, log in to the website, once you scan the code to join the group, the group will share screenshots of the task of swiping to profit, induce the subject to participate in the rebate task or investment and financial management, and issue a small commission for rebates to gain the trust of the owner. Subsequently, the fraudster lured the subject to increase the investment of funds on the grounds of "the more recharge, the more rebates", and refused to return the funds under the pretext of "the task was not completed and the operation was abnormal" until the subject realized that he had been deceived. The police remind that when you receive a courier from an unknown source, you must be vigilant, carefully check the logistics information and delivery information, and try to identify the source as much as possible. Don't trust any refund notice, don't easily add strangers as friends, and don't scan the QR code on the item to avoid falling into the trap of scammers. Smear the QR code before throwing away the item to avoid being scammed if someone picks it up. (CCTV News Client)
