Routine analysis
In the above case, the deceived elderly person was deceived by a fraud posing as an acquaintance. The fraudsters seized on the psychological characteristics of the elderly to save their grandson, deliberately created a tense atmosphere in which the grandson was arrested and urgently needed to be "rescued" with money, and demanded cash in a short period of time, causing the elderly to fall into the trap of handing over money to the fraudsters without verification due to panic and anxiety.
After the fraudsters obtained the family information of the elderly through illegal means, some people pretended to be "grandsons" to make fraudulent calls to the elderly, falsely claiming that they had been arrested by the public security organs for prostitution, indecent assault, fights and other illegal acts, and urgently needed "bail money", and agreed that the friends of the "grandson" would come to pick up and deliver cash. In order to prevent the fraud from being revealed, scammers will ask the elderly to keep it confidential and not tell other family members, for reasons such as "fear of being scolded". Others act as "veterans", pretending to be friends of "grandsons" to get cash from the elderly at the agreed place, and ask the elderly to wait for news before fleeing. Older people often miss opportunities to recover their losses due to slow reaction times and weak awareness of evidence.
In the past, scammers asked the parties to transfer money through bank accounts, but with the deepening of anti-fraud propaganda, this method has aroused everyone's vigilance. Nowadays, it is easy for criminals to let their vigilance down by withdrawing money at their doorstep. Because they are not friends of their relatives, they will not come to their homes. Criminals take advantage of the thinking conventions of the elderly to make them more susceptible.
➮ Nowadays, scammers are constantly evolving their scams. The elderly should not believe strange calls, and should "think twice" when they encounter a request for cash or transfer and remittance, immediately inform their family members and call 110 for verification, so as to "not be gullible, do not pay money, and verify more".
➮ Children should popularize anti-fraud knowledge and new fraud methods to the elderly, help the elderly improve their awareness of fraud prevention, and use mobile banking functions such as SMS reminders and withdrawal and transfer limits to pay attention to the movement of the elderly's funds in a timely manner, so as to find bad signs at the first time. If you are accidentally deceived, please keep the phone number, call records, on-site monitoring and other evidence and call 110 immediately, so that the police can solve the case as soon as possible.
