According to statistics from the public security Department, from January to November 2022, a total of 391,000 telecom fraud cases were solved in China. The 50th Statistical Report on the Development of China's Internet also shows that 17.8% of Internet users said they had encountered online fraud in the process of surfing the Internet, that is, 186 million Internet users have been found by scammers.

This number is really shocking.

An online love, cheated 5 million yuan a week

Recently, the official public account of the short video social platform Tiktok announced a fraud case of "killing pig plate", in which the victim continued to speak for the scammer even after calling the police: "The scammer's words have a soul, and he is communicating with me with his soul."

It turned out that in early 2022, netizen Xiao Lin (a pseudonym) met a male netizen on Tiktok. After several exchanges, Xiao Lin felt comfortable chatting with him, and the appearance in the profile photo was also his ideal type, and gradually developed a good impression of each other.

Before long, the swindler told Xiao Lin that he had a high-profit project and wanted to ask her to invest in the name of his fiancee. At first, Xiao Lin is skeptical, but soon by the other side of the sweet talk strategy, off guard. In the following week, she gradually transferred 5 million yuan to the other party. Even this week, Tiktok's anti-fraud product "Tiktok Xiao An" reminded her 116 times to confirm the identity of the other party and invest cautiously, but Xiao Lin ignored the warning and didn't realize she had been cheated until the scammer disappeared after completing the last transfer.

These three types of people are the most likely to be targeted by "pig killing" scammers

The first is the single person who has not been in a relationship for a long time. Due to the lack of love experience, they are more likely to be moved by the sweet words of liars, fall into the trap of each other, and are more likely to make impulsive actions on the emotional "top".

The second type is those who want to get rich overnight. They often attribute the success of others to luck and their own failures to bad luck. Therefore, when the liar offers them an olive branch, they will think that they have met their "noble person" and will be cheated out of their money.

The third type is people who lack experience in using Internet products, mainly elderly people. They may have a certain awareness of fraud prevention, but because they are not familiar with the operation of the APP, they fall into the trap of scammers.

Of course, we can't put the blame on the victims, the reason why the scammers can succeed is not only because they understand the defects of human nature, but also because they have a strong team and rich experience. An online fraud gang is likely to be a clear division of labor, someone is responsible for operating accounts, someone is responsible for technical support, someone is responsible for studying words, someone is responsible for transferring funds... They are as organized and professional as a mature technology company.
