"Rent + mail gold" scam
Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province
The latest anti-fraud warning issued by the Yuyao Public Security
It is related to the "rent + mail gold" scam
"A few days ago, a woman went to a gold counter to buy gold bars, and she was very 'entrenched' and placed an order directly without even asking the price of gold. The first time I bought 160 grams, and the second time I asked to buy 500 grams, the teller noticed something unusual, so he called the police, and finally stopped him. ”
After receiving the alarm, the anti-fraud staff immediately came to the door to dissuade them. After the persuasion of the police, the person concerned realized that he had been deceived. However, the gold purchased for the first time has already been sent!
Fortunately, the express delivery is still at the logistics point
The police immediately led the parties to the scene
Retrieve the package and open the inventory
Gold bars worth more than 100,000 yuan were successfully recovered
Recovered gold bars
The person told how she was deceived: she posted information about renting a house online, and then someone contacted her and said that she wanted to rent a house. The other party called a deposit of 2,000 yuan to show his sincerity, but half a month has passed, and he has not come to rent a house. The parties communicated with the "tenant" many times, but the other party shirked on the grounds that they were busy, and intentionally or unintentionally mentioned gold investment and financial management in the process.
After many conversations, the person was fooled, and then guided to the mall to buy gold and mail it to the designated place for "investment".
"There have also been scams related to renting houses in Yuyao before. The scammer claimed to work at a gold exchange, and then lured the person to invest and manage money on a designated platform with profits. But now it's different, scammers directly fool the parties to buy gold offline and mail it. The relevant person in charge of Yuyao public security said.
Fake investment platforms
"Swiping + mailing gold" scam
Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province
Haishu Public Security recently came into contact with
"Swiping + mailing gold" scam
On September 9, the Dongqiao Police Station received an anti-fraud warning instruction that a woman in the jurisdiction may be suffering from fraud, and the anti-fraud staff immediately came to dissuade her. The person concerned immediately came to his senses after receiving the "reminder".
The party said
I usually like online shopping
Once
A small "rebate" card was found in the courier box
Out of curiosity
She scanned the code and installed an APP
The party scanned the unfamiliar QR code, and then was pitted
After joining the group chat, under the guidance of "customer service", she recharged 990 yuan and 5,000 yuan respectively, completed the task of swiping orders and obtained "cashback", and also received a number of small gifts. When she saw that her balance had accumulated to 7,800 yuan, she wanted to withdraw it.
Ask "Customer Service" after failure
The other party said that it needed to buy gold
and mail it to the designated location
The party still had 880,000 yuan in her bank card, but fortunately, when she was about to go out to purchase, the anti-fraud dissuasion call from the Dongqiao Police Station came. Otherwise, there is a high probability that this money will not be saved.
Scammers trick them into buying gold and mailing it
Coincidentally
Aunt Zhu from Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province
I also encountered this kind of scam
Aunt Zhu walked into a jewelry store and told the teller, Ms. Jin, to buy 71 grams of gold. When Ms. Jin asked Aunt Zhu and showed the style, Aunt Zhu just glanced at it casually and repeatedly asked that as long as the gram weight reached the standard. At the same time, she clutched her phone tightly in her hand and kept sending messages.
Ms. Jin felt that Aunt Zhu was very different, and decisively refused to sell her gold and called the police. After learning about it, the police learned that Aunt Zhu received an unknown courier a few days ago, and after scanning the QR code on the courier out of curiosity, she was induced to swipe the order, and the "mentor" fooled Aunt Zhu to come to the gold store to buy gold on the grounds of operation error, and mailed the gold according to the requirements of the "mentor".
Thanks to Ms. Jin's careful attention, Aunt Zhu's loss of more than 40,000 yuan was avoided.
Because gold has good value retention,
Easy to monetize and other features
At the same time, scammers use it instead of "online banking transfer"
Able to circumvent the "emergency stop payment" of the public security organs
therefore
Wire fraud gangs will be all kinds of traditional scams
Repack
Then combine it with the "mail gold" routine
Elaborate scams
So
Anything that asks you to buy a large amount of gold and mail it
Please check carefully
Some netizens said
"After the release of the rental news went out
There have been two waves of liars who have come to deceive me"
And remind everyone
"Fraud is hard to prevent, don't be greedy"
