(Policeman) Hello, are you?
(Party) Hush, keep your voice down, I'm videoing.
(Policeman) Don't believe it, do you transfer money?
Don't believe it, they are all deceptive.
[Comment] In the video, the policeman climbed up the sixth floor with vigorous steps, found the person who was videoing with the scammer, and stopped her from transferring money to the scammer in time.
This is not the first time this kind of scene has happened. There is a group of police officers in Beijing who intercept and discourage the parties who are experiencing fraud. Policeman Wang Jia is one of them.

In May 2018, our Chaoyang Anti-Fraud Center was established. Since its establishment, we have discouraged more than 68,000 people and avoided economic losses of about 700 million yuan. Through the emergency stop payment function, we have successfully returned more than 300 ordinary people. Scam funds more than 24 million.
[Commentary] When talking about anti-fraud and persuasion, Wang Jia said vividly that the anti-fraud police are engaged in "grabbing wars" with scammers every day.
Especially in frauds that pretend to be public, prosecutors, and law, how to make the parties "brainwashed" by the scammers receive and trust the information of the real police is a difficult task for them.
Regarding this, Wang Jia explained a case he encountered not long ago.

The victim had all sent his mobile phone (call transfer) to the liar, which shows that the victim has been seriously brainwashed.
So I immediately requested that all bank assets in her name be frozen for protection.
[Explanation] Wang Jia, who is well versed in the tricks of scammers, understands that only freezing the party’s property cannot completely dispel the idea of scammers. In the next step, the scammers are likely to trick the parties into making loans.
However, at this time the owner was in a foreign country, and the phone was transferred by a scammer. Considering that the text messages were not affected, Wang Jia started a "text message bombing" that lasted several hours.

I kept sending her messages. I remember that I sent her fifty or sixty messages, with only two content. The first content is that the fake policemen who are making "transcripts" for you now are liars. Call 110 to the police; the second content is that you must never make a loan, they are to cheat money.
I madly copied and pasted these two contents to her, copy-pasted and then sent it like this, probably 50 or 60 articles.
It took us 10 hours to get Ms. Li (the client) from the brink of being deceived and finally snatched her back from the liar.
[Explanation] In addition to anti-fraud dissuasion, Wang Jia and her team will also sort out relevant information daily, study the latest fraud techniques and routines of scammers, and use a variety of online and offline methods for anti-fraud promotion.
For more than two years, she led the team to run through the streets and alleys of Chaoyang District, held a series of 71 publicity activities, and participated in more than 100,000 people.
