Not long ago, Ms. Lu, a Nanjing citizen, reported to the local police station that she had invested in two platforms a few years ago, lost 50,000 yuan due to the collapse of the platform, and recently received a message that the platform should return the principal, and lost more than 10,000 yuan after an operation to chase down the loss.

Investment loss, received "return principal" SMS to join the group chat

According to Ms. Lu's description, on November 16, her mobile phone received a text message, saying that an investment website that had been closed before could return the principal, and attached the group chat number of the so-called return of the principal in the text message. At the thought of being able to get back her previous losses, Ms. Lu was very surprised and immediately joined the group.

The customer service in the group published a link to a website, saying that if you need to handle the business of returning the principal, you need to open the link in the browser and follow the requirements. The next day, Ms. Lu also received a message from another investment website, saying that the website can carry out a refund, and also asked her to join the group chat.

According to the process for payment service, recharge more than 10,000 but was cheated

At first, Ms. Lu was a little cautious, did not dare to click the link, she through three days of observation, found that there are many people in the group said that according to the operation to get back the principal. She finally let her guard down, clicked on the link and installed one of the apps it asked for. After that, the customer service in the APP introduced that it was necessary to agree the capital injection base before it could handle the payment return, and introduced three schemes to her. Ms. Lu considered for a while, and finally chose the plan of "50 percent of the capital injection return and three days to return all the money."

After the selection, the customer service told her that she needed to pay the hedge fund to return the money. At noon on November 19, Ms. Lu used her bank to transfer 4,894 yuan to the designated account to pay the hedge gold required for the return. However, the other side said that it needed to continue to issue a hedge to guarantee the payment. Ms. Lu introduced that she was also in another group chat on the same day, and operated a similar refund process, transferring 10905.99 yuan to the other party. When she asked questions, she found she had been blocked. After realizing that he had been cheated, he hurriedly called the police. At present, the local police have filed a case for investigation.
