For a long time, "killing pigs" has been a common method of telecom network fraud criminals, fraudsters use social networking sites to fake and compile stories, in order to gain trust, and then use some software or names to trick users into making foreign exchange investment transactions on false platforms.

Up to now, the rapid development of the network, dating software is more and more, providing users with more online dating opportunities, but at the same time, it also gives crooks more opportunities to fraud. Although the current crackdown on Internet fraud is increasing, but the means of crooks are becoming more and more sophisticated, today Tianye Jun with three cases to give you a warning, I hope that investors can do their own awareness of prevention.

First, pretending to be a familiar human

Typical case: Investor Mr. Jin's wechat friend list does not know when to start, for no reason more than a friend with remarks. At first, Mr. Jin thought that this was his friend, may be too long to remember, and then in the other party's circle of friends to see investment is very profitable after the initiative to contact the net friend and said that he also wanted to participate.

Then wechat users sent a link to Mr. Jin to download the software, and told Mr. Jin that it was very profitable to use this software to do foreign exchange trading, and Mr. Jin, who had long believed that it was true, did not doubt it, immediately downloaded the software, and joined the so-called trading group. With the help of the members of the group, Mr. Jin repeatedly carried out gold transactions, unconsciously investing more than 200,000 yuan, the problem is that he did not earn a penny. When Mr. Jin reacted, he found that he had been deleted by wechat friends!

The scammer disguised himself as a Hong Kong person, and said that he had real estate in Hong Kong, and was a standard white rich beauty who opened a flower shop and liked to do charity. After packaging themselves, in accordance with the old routine of killing the pig plate, falling in love with investors to establish a love relationship, and then obtain trust to defraude assets, and finally "kill the pig".

After chatting for a while, in the face of the "officer" 's daily greetings and sugar-coated shells, Ms. Song put down her guard to him and doubled her trust, feeling that he was a considerate and reliable good man.

After a week of promoting feelings, the "officer" began to lay hands on Ms. Song, saying that his friend worked in the Yinchuan Foreign Exchange Bureau, there are foreign currency exchange loopholes, because of his military identity, can not participate in, but can help Song girls to make money. Subsequently, under the guidance of the "officer", Ms. Song downloaded the foreign exchange investment APP and carried out top-up transactions as required.

After the first recharge, the swindler successfully withdrew 1000 yuan from Ms. Song, which strengthened Ms. Song's trust in the "officer" again. After a decoy withdrawal, the other party repeatedly asked Ms. Song to increase the amount of recharge, until the account balance became more than 2.6 million. At this time, the "officer" asked Ms. Song to apply for cash, but the platform generated a reminder of the need to pay 330,000 yuan of deposit, in order to gold Song girls directly to the designated account transferred 330,000 yuan, the result of the account is still not out of gold, "officer" also disappeared.
