Several phone calls from "bank staff" and "public security personnel" completely plunged Luo Yang (pseudonym) in Hongya County, Meishan, Sichuan into a scam, and almost all his personal savings for many years were involved. In just five days after receiving the fraudulent phone call, Luo Yang has transferred a huge sum of money to the "security account" provided by "public security personnel" for eight times, totaling more than 6 million. The case has also become the highest telecom fraud case involving Meishan and even Sichuan this year.

how was 6 million cheated step by step?

Step 1

Pretending to be a bank employee

An Internet phone call claiming to be from a "bank" called Luo Yang, in which the "bank employee" said that Luo Yang had overdrawn his credit cards overseas and had a large amount of money outstanding. At the same time, it is mentioned that the bank has reported the case to the public security organ, and if in doubt, it can be verified with the public security organ.

Step 2

After posing as a public security officer

, Luo Yang got in touch with the "public security telephone" provided by the "bank clerk". The "public security personnel" replied that Luo Yang was also suspected of online money laundering and fraud, and the procuratorate had issued an arrest warrant for this. If in doubt, you can check with the procuratorate and provide the website for issuing the arrest warrant.

Step 3

Pretend to be Luo Yang, who was frightened by the procuratorate

, and then log in to the website provided by the suspect. The webpage shows that it is indeed the "official website" of a procuratorate. In the webpage, his personal information is accurate and he is indeed being hunted.

Step 4

Transfer the money to the safe account

Then, the "public security personnel" called again, saying that there may be misunderstanding at present when the "case" is being handled, but the money should be temporarily transferred to the safe account and returned after investigation. At the same time, it is also proposed that a deposit needs to be paid before it can be refunded in full in the end.

In this way, in the days from May 21st to May 24th, Luo Yang transferred money to the "safe account" for eight times, totaling more than 6 million yuan.

police tip: when receiving similar calls, it is best to check with the local public security organ through 11 to avoid being cheated.

After investigation by the police, Luo Yang received a fraudulent phone call from an overseas den in Indonesia, and the case handlers then rushed to Indonesia for investigation. After handling overseas cases for more than 3 days, Meishan police, with the support and help of Indonesian local police, successfully smashed two fraud dens in Bali and Surabaya and arrested 58 suspects. On August 3, the 58 overseas suspects were escorted back to China.
