Recently, Mr. Chen, who lives in Bafu Town, High tech Zone, Chongqing, saw a website in the group and suspected it was a fraud website. He reported it on the Internet, only to encounter a "fake police" and was cheated of more than 50000 yuan.
On November 18, Mr. Chen was drawn into a QQ group about investment and financing, and then a website about investment and financing was sent from the group. Because Mr. Chen has done investment and financing for many years, when he saw this website, he knew it was a fraud website.
Therefore, Mr. Chen searched a website for reporting fraud on his browser. After clicking the link, he was greeted by a "police receiver" who claimed to be a "cyber police". Mr. Chen told the story to the "police receiver".
The "police officer" also told Mr. Chen that this website was indeed a fraud website, and they would deal with it as soon as possible, but hoped that Mr. Chen would cooperate with them to deal with this incident. The other side asked him to add a WeChat message, saying that someone would be responsible for it.
Later, Mr. Chen added a friend called "Online Acceptance". The other party first sent a "police certificate", and sent him a video on the Internet for a few seconds. The background was shown as the internal workplace of the public security organ, and he said he was a policeman of the National Anti fraud Center.
The "fake police" told Mr. Chen on WeChat that he had visited the fraud website before, and the identity information of the bank card had been leaked, which was likely to be frozen. If the bank card was not unfrozen, he would bear legal responsibility if it was used by criminals. Mr. Chen was convinced, so he sent the screenshot of his bank card's mobile banking APP information to the other party according to the request of the other party, and unfrozen it by bank card transfer.
Mr. Chen made two transfers to the account designated by the other party, totaling 52340 yuan. After the transfer is successful, the other party informs him that unfreezing is unsuccessful and he needs to continue the transfer. Mr. Chen, who was already aware of anti fraud, suddenly realized that he had been cheated and went to the Bafu Police Station of Chongqing High tech Zone Public Security Branch to report to the police.
After receiving the police, the police immediately froze the account involved in the case, again carried out anti fraud propaganda to Mr. Chen, and told Mr. Chen that the report should still be made through formal channels and enter the official website of the "China Internet Reporting Center" to make a complaint. Do not believe that the website of unknown origin alarms.
At present, the case is under further investigation.
