In recent years, there has been a high incidence of online investment scams, of which an indispensable link is the APP of fake transactions, without the technical help of the fake APP team, a complete investment fraud case is difficult to form.


Watch out! Fake APP investment scams are high


In the financial lending industry, fake apps mainly attract users through the name and icon of highly imitated formal apps, and even the functional experience can be very close. Fraudsters send fraudulent text messages to users with a link to register, pretending to be an official number, and then direct them to click on the link to download the fake APP. After the user installs, they will be charged before the loan costs, thawing fees, deposits, guarantees and other ways to fraud. Fraudsters switch to the foreign exchange and futures trading industries, and the means are also changed. It can be said that this fake illegal APP that bypassed the "curve download promotion" of the app store has become the "sharp knife" in the network investment scam.


At the beginning of this year, Mr. Liu in Anhui Province received a friend request from a stranger. After passing the certification, Mr. Liu chatted with the other side casually for two sentences, and doubted the investment and financial management way of its advocacy. However, after observing for a period of time, Mr. Liu found that the other party seemed to be really strong, showing data to help others invest and make money in the circle of friends every day. Heart, then asked it how to operate.


The other party is also very enthusiastic, introducing that this is a short-term virtual currency investment, high investment income, fast return, low risk, and sent a two-dimensional code, so that Mr. Liu scanned the code to download an investment APP platform. After Mr. Liu registered members as required, he invested 50,000 yuan for the first time, and as expected, he soon made a profit, and his hanging heart was finally put down. As a result, there was a second and third investment, looking at the rapid growth of income in his account, Mr. Liu was overjoyed, and dreamed that he would soon rush to the peak of life.


After that, in just half a month, Mr. Liu transferred more than 980,000 yuan to the platform, and its account data showed that it had reached more than 12.27 million yuan! Excited Mr. Liu decided to take some out first, but the withdrawal application was rejected, the platform customer service said that due to input errors, Mr. Liu's application was not approved, and he needed to pay 360,000 yuan of security money to withdraw! After all, Mr. Liu is a cautious person, as soon as he heard that he had to pay the security fund, he thought of all the anti-fraud propaganda he had seen online before, and then he realized that he had been cheated and hurriedly called the police. According to the police investigation found that Mr. Liu's trading platform is false, and the background data is all manipulated by fraud gangs.


The cost is low, and the profit and loss data are all controlled by fraudsters


The so-called manipulation platform, first, the rise and fall of investment products within the website are mastered by crooks, and are not synchronized with the international market; The second is the manipulation of cash withdrawal, including raising the threshold of cash withdrawal and limiting cash withdrawal. Similar fraud cases, I have been updated reports, the same fraud, harvesting different victims.


The typical routine of fake trading apps is that the profit temptation is large, first let you "get rich overnight", and then crazy on the way to gold. This is very tempting for some novice investors who do not know much about the currency industry, and it is easy to get lost in this "sugar-coated shell".


The reason why the fake APP is quite popular among fraud gangs, in addition to borrowing a formal platform as a cover, another convenience is because of the low cost of cheating. When investors wake up, there is only an empty shell APP left, no real information can be found, and it is very difficult to defend and recover funds. Therefore, Huiyou do not believe the investment two-dimensional code or link of unknown origin! Be sure to check the supervision and qualification of the platform before deposit!
