Not long ago, Yunyang police reported a telecom fraud, from the victim to answer the scammer's phone, only seven steps were cheated out of more than 390,000 yuan. Think back to the foreign exchange fraud cases exposed by Tianyan Jun, many cheated traders are from the phone to hear the liar, step by step into the cloth of the trap, what is the magic of such a phone in the end so that so many traders obediently follow the instructions?

Today, take you to discuss how to guard against such fraud calls, and remind traders must say "no" to such calls!

Real case

This year, Mr. Liu of Yunyang County received a strange call, the other party first claimed to be a veteran, and then invited Mr. Liu to join the company's stock market group, said that you can not invest but you can try in the group.

Mr. Liu see the other side is a veteran, and usually he is interested in investing in the stock market gladly answer. Then Mr. Liu added wechat, and soon joined a stock exchange group. In this group, people often discuss the stock market, and even send some profit screenshots every day.

Within a few days, Mr. Liu could not resist the temptation to ask each other how to join them to make money. The other party directly sent a strange link, and asked Mr. Liu to download a good APP. Once registered, you can get a gift of 666 cash red envelopes, Mr. Liu feels that money is expected to make money in the next three days, more than 390,000 yuan in gold for trading operations.

On the fourth day, Mr. Liu found that the APP had been unable to log in, and asked the customer service was told that the account operation was illegal, and if you want to unfreeze, you need to pay the unfreezing fee! Now, Mr. Liu suddenly realized that he had been cheated!

From answering the phone, joining the group chat, income temptation, downloading the APP, operating the transaction, crazy money, and finally freezing the account, the short seven steps led to Mr. Liu's loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the scam from start to end is only half a month.

Forex scams that start with "phone calls"

All this started with a fraudulent phone call, and such cases are common in the black platform fraud that Tianye Jun has been exposed to.

In the Epp Global scam exposed at the end of October this year, foreign exchange traders received a phone call from Epp Global customer service, and the other party on the phone frantically suggested that EpP Global is a formal platform, and once you enter gold, you can get rich bonus concessions;

In the black platform TIX scam that was exposed at the end of September this year, the victim Ms. Wu answered a cold call, opposite a girl with a sweet voice, inviting investors to join a stock market group, in which not only professional stock market teachers but also explain the stock market every day, and will not charge any fees;

In the GANAR MARKETS scam that was exposed in early September, Mr. Xiong, a trader, received a call from a person claiming to be an insider of a securities company, encouraging him to join the company's internal stock exchange group, and have a professional teacher at his desk.

There are many other cases in the same way, but in the final analysis, why these investors will believe strange calls, generally speaking, mainly because the other party is a stock god, knows inside information or claims to be an institution, corporate development members with people to "open positions" to provide "individual stocks", etc., after such information is conveyed to investors, Victims who already have investment intentions will usually have a try attitude and add friends.

Each fraud team has a dedicated "handler" whose job is to funnel victims into so-called investment groups such as stocks and securities. Most of the personal information of these victims is obtained through black and ash production, and can generally be accurately called to investors with stock intentions or financial strength. Especially in some cases, some of the calls are part-time college students, it can be seen that such fraudulent calls not only harm investors, but also make innocent college students become "scapegoats".

Sum up

With the development of the broken card action, the fraud method of calling has been contained to a certain extent, but we must not ignore the telephone fraud method, the content of such calls must say "no", and refuse to join such groups. Similarly, in other places such as Tiktok, SMS, circle of friends, wechat public account, Weibo and other self-media platforms to see such group news should be strengthened vigilance, do not believe unilateral propaganda information, when encountering stocks and securities to seek verification from formal securities companies, when encountering foreign exchange platform recommended foreign exchange Tianye to check the authenticity.
