-Fraud Routine Analysis-
The above cases are typical "contact fraud"
So what is "contact fraud"?
Contact fraud: This is when a fraudster makes direct contact with the victim or somehow gains the victim's trust, and then tricks the victim into transferring money or paying cash for a variety of reasons. This type of fraud is often more subtle and difficult to detect, so it is necessary to be vigilant and more vigilant.
Police remind
01Ask friends and relatives for verification
When the elderly encounter something that is difficult to judge whether it is true or false, do not rush to make a decision, and any person who requests online transfer and remittance or offline fund transaction through phone calls and text messages should first ask relatives and friends around them, and verify the identity of the caller after answering the phone; If the voice cannot be distinguished, you can use more private questions such as the nickname of relatives and friends, living habits, etc.
02 Reminders from people around you
The families of the elderly must regularly publicize anti-fraud knowledge to the elderly, and improve the awareness and ability of the elderly to recognize and prevent fraud; If the bank staff finds that the elderly person is transferring money in a panic alone, they must verify with him and his family, or contact the police station in the jurisdiction to deal with it together.
03Call the police for help in time
If you are accidentally deceived, you should immediately call 110 to report to the police, and provide key information such as the other party's collection account to ensure that the payment stop and freeze operation is carried out as soon as possible, intercept the defrauded funds in time, and recover losses as much as possible.
