"Your vision is so good! This 'treasure' is handed over to us for auction and will definitely sell for a high price! ”
Uncle Liu (pseudonym) in Hangzhou listened to this "praise" and decisively took out the treasured "old objects" for auction, but he didn't expect to be deceived miserably!
"Someone made a bid of 9 million!"
The septuagenarian uncle was deceived in the auction of calligraphy and paintings
Uncle Liu is 70 years old this year, and after his retirement, he became obsessed with collecting calligraphy and paintings. In mid-September, he was contacted by an unknown woman who claimed to be an employee of the auction company Bang Mousi.
"She said that her name is Chen Mouhui, and she is the agent of the 'Bang Mousi' auction company. I called to ask if there were any 'good things' in my house that I could take out for auction! I am also interested in antiques and antiques, so I added the other party's 'WeChat' account to continue to communicate. Uncle Liu said.
After the two parties added "WeChat" friends, Chen Mouhui sent his "work permit" and the company's "business license" and other pictures to win trust. "This auction company is well-known in the industry! Coupled with the "certificates, certificates" and so on sent by her, all this looks too much like the real thing! Uncle Liu said. After communication, Uncle Liu took out a few pieces of "treasures" at the bottom of his own box and planned to auction them, "The other party asked me to take pictures and send them to her, she picked a master's landscape painting at a glance, and kept praising me for my good vision and collection!" Uncle Liu said. After being praised again and again, Uncle Liu's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he decisively agreed to put this landscape painting up for auction, "Chen Mouhui sent me the contact information of another man, Gao, and claimed to be her colleague, and asked me to communicate with him about the identification of treasures, and after some operation, they sent me a certificate of 'qualified appraisal', and informed me that the auction price of this calligraphy and painting is at least 8 million yuan!" After more than 30 years of playing collecting, I am finally going to make a lot of money. Uncle Liu said. A few days later, Chen Mouhui contacted Uncle Liu again and brought a "good news": "She said that a buyer took a fancy to my collection of calligraphy and paintings and wanted to buy it at a price of more than 900 yuan!" According to the regulations of the auction company, the buyer has paid a deposit of more than 200 yuan, and as a seller, I also need to pay a deposit of 100,000 yuan first. Later, if the transaction between both parties is unsuccessful, the deposit will be refunded. Uncle Liu said.
According to Uncle Liu, the other party also sent him the personal information of the "buyer", "I looked at the buyer's information, the other party is a big boss doing business abroad, and it seems to be more reliable......" After confirming it, Uncle Liu transferred 100,000 yuan to the strange bank card account provided by the other party, and looked forward to "making a big profit". didn't think about it, Uncle Liu's "deposit" had already been paid, but the "auction company" had not followed up for a long time, "I paid the money and waited for about a week, and I was a little anxious, so I sent a message to ask Chen Mouhui what was going on?" turned out to find out that she had been blocked...... Only then did I realize that I had been scammed, so I quickly went to the police! Uncle Liu said. It is reported that Uncle Liu was defrauded of a total of 100,000 yuan, and at present, the police have been reported to deal with it, and the case is being further investigated.
