Not long ago, Ms. Hao of Nanjing met a net friend in a dating site, and invested more than 2 million yuan in data testing with the other party, and realized that she was cheated when she saw anti-fraud propaganda.
Help users to do data testing to find money "opportunities"
It is understood that in October this year, Ms. Hao in Nanjing received a friend application, the other party claimed to be recommended by a dating site, because Ms. Hao did register information in the dating site, then passed the other party's friend application. Afterward, the two chatted as normal friends.
In the chat, the direction of Ms. Hao revealed that he is engaged in the IT industry. At the end of October, the other party told Ms. Hao to go on a business trip to a securities company. Two days later, the other party contacted Ms. Hao, let her help do a data test, and gave Ms. Hao a website, Ms. Hao opened it to show a securities index trading platform. The other side let Ms. Hao login account, bought three pieces of gold, respectively buy up, down, up and down each half, and then withdraw the profits to the bank card, Ms. Hao one by one after doing, the other side sent a screenshot, showing Ms. Hao's profit withdrawal has arrived. "He said it seemed like his analysis was correct, that the data fluctuated a lot at this time of the day in the afternoon, and you could buy anything." Ms. Hao said. Subsequently, she helped each other to test a few, have made money, the other party told Ms. Hao, this is the system he found loopholes.
Caught up in a scam that swindled more than $2 million
The next day, the other party asked Ms. Hao if she wanted to apply for an account to try the water, holding a try mentality, Ms. Hao applied for an account and "recharge" 20,000 yuan, began to buy gold, and the withdrawal was successful. After the successful test of the water, Ms. Hao believed in the vulnerability of this system, and topped up more than 2 million yuan in the account for three consecutive days.
Ms. Hao did not realize that she may have been cheated until she saw the anti-telecom fraud poster in the community, and after the analysis of the fraud method of "killing pig plate", she immediately went to ask the customer service of the dating site, "the customer service told me that the other party's number was indeed registered on their website, but it was not a real-name system." When I called the company again and they said they didn't have him, that's when I knew I had been duped." Ms. Hao immediately went to buy gold on the website to withdraw cash, only put forward 290,000 yuan, and then the website showed that Ms. Hao's account was restricted in violation of the rules. Ms. Hao wanted to stabilize the other party, asked the other party still want to invest but the account is restricted how to do, the other party told her that she needed to pay a deposit to lift the restrictions. Knowing that the money in the account would be difficult to get back, Hao called the police for help.
Analysis of "killing pig pan" routine
In fact, Ms. Hao's experience is a typical "killing pig plate" scam. The swindle is generally divided into the following four steps:
Step 1: Gain trust. Fraudsters package their own people, add victims in various social software, chat with victims frequently after adding friends, let the other party trust them, determine the love relationship with the other party, and let the other party trust him (her) deeper.
Step two: Entice investment. After the relationship is stable, the scammer will provide a self-made investment website link to take you to make money, most people will try to put in a few small sums, and the scammer will let you make a few small sums through background operations.
Step 3: Invest heavily. Scammers will give some small profits, victims after testing the water to find that they can really make money, these "news" and "loopholes" began to believe, and a lot of investment.
Step 4: No withdrawal. The scammer earned enough of the victim's investment "principal", and the victim tried to withdraw cash and found that he could not withdraw cash. The scammer may also want to finally get a sum of money at this time, telling the victim to pay a deposit, unfreezing gold, etc., in order to normally withdraw cash, until the website can not land, the victim often will realize that they have been cheated.
Remind everyone that online dating needs to be cautious, especially for those who have not met, especially when it comes to money transactions, must be vigilant, and communicate with relatives and friends around, ask more, to prevent falling into the "trap". "No pie will fall from the sky", the so-called "low cost, high return" is often a deceptive guise, must not be greedy for profits.
In addition, once you find that there is a problem with the platform, or stray into the black platform, you must pay attention to retain the relevant evidence and timely alarm, and you can also submit an exposure on me to avoid more people being deceived!
