The reporter learned from the Anti-Fraud Center of Xicheng Public Security Bureau that as the Spring Festival is approaching, there is a high incidence of telecom fraud such as part-time billing, loan agency, impersonating customer service, train ticket refunds and changes, and red envelope rebates. The public needs to be particularly vigilant.

The age of victims in wire fraud has also changed in recent years.

The proportion of people aged 35 to 50 is increasing.

Blindly confident middle-aged people are prone to fall into the trap of telecom fraud.

  case

  Bank employee defrauded to loan millions

  "Hello! I'm from the Anti-Fraud Center of Xicheng Public Security Bureau. Did you receive a scam call today? You must never transfer money to strangers..." After finally dialing the number of a female victim , the dissuasion officer of the Xicheng Anti-Fraud Center immediately made an anti-fraud reminder to the other party.

According to the early warning clues, the female victim had a long conversation with the suspected fraudulent phone call, and was likely to fall into the trap of telecom fraud.

  As soon as the dissuasion officer finished speaking, the female victim came on the other end of the phone with an angrily warning: "Don't say you belong to the Public Security Bureau, whatever you say today, I have to deal with my own affairs first, and now I have some national security concerns. The matter needs assistance in the investigation, and the matter of your public security bureau has been pushed back..." Then he hung up the phone and never answered again.

  The anti-fraud policeman Feng Wei realized that the female victim had been deeply brainwashed.

He immediately started a new plan and asked the female victim's family to participate in the dissuasion.

Often, families have more ways to contact the victim.

  Unexpectedly, when the victim's husband learned of the situation, he said lightly: "My wife will definitely not be deceived! She is highly educated, still works in a bank, and receives anti-fraud publicity every day. Moreover, she has no money at all. Money. You don't have to deal with the Public Security Bureau anymore..."

  The victim was brainwashed and the family members did not cooperate. This is the most difficult situation in the anti-fraud and persuasion work.

  "They can't think of it themselves, but we know very well how miserable life will be in the future once we are deceived. The family doesn't care, but we can't ignore it!" In the next two hours, Feng Wei and his colleagues tried every means to verify The whereabouts of the victim, is there at home?

Did you go to work?

Eventually, they learned that the female victim checked in at a hotel.

  This is the usual trick of scammers, allowing the victim to go to a private place without outside interference, completely under their control to deceive.

  "I was really anxious at that time. We almost ran all the way to the hotel and broke into the door." As soon as he entered the room, Feng Wei saw a laptop and a dozen bank cards on the table.

The female victim was on a video call with the scammer via her mobile phone.

Feng Wei was quick-witted, grabbed it, and hung up the phone.

At this time, the female victim was in a trance and hadn't woken up from deep brainwashing.

  After the incident, the police learned that although the female victim did not control the family's savings, she was deceived by the liar and had loaned 1.4 million yuan.

The couple have children and are still carrying mortgages. If the police hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

  cause

  Blind confidence is more likely to be deceived

  Banks are an important line of defense against telecommunication fraud, and the staff still advertises to customers every day. How can they fall into the trap of liars?

  Feng Wei told reporters that in the past, scammers usually controlled the parties to transfer money through ATMs or over the counter, so the victims were basically people over 60 years old.

Now, scammers are increasingly using shared screens, online meeting rooms, online banking, etc. to commit fraud. Therefore, the elderly who are unfamiliar with electronic operations are less likely to suffer from telecom fraud. Middle-aged people aged 35 to 50 There are more and more people.

Especially those middle-aged people who have a certain economic foundation and think that they have a certain social experience and are prone to blind self-confidence are most likely to fall into the trap of telecommunication fraud.

  This female victim who works in a bank is a typical example of blind confidence.

She also usually does anti-fraud publicity to customers. She thinks that she has some understanding of telecom fraud, and subconsciously believes that she will not be deceived. Therefore, she did not care about giving tips to others, and did not further understand the tricks of the liar. How is it, how to brainwash the victim step by step.

When a fraudulent call is actually received, there is no ability to prevent it at all.

  Many family members blindly believe that their family members will not be deceived, and do not cooperate with the police, making the work of persuasion against time more passive.

  The latest wire scam doesn't mention money at all

  "Many people think that the liar just asks me to transfer and remit money? If I don't transfer money, I will definitely not be deceived. In fact, there are routines in telecom fraud, and the liar does not ask for money as soon as they come up." In the interview, anti Fraud police also analyzed the most "popular" tricks now, reminding the public not to be blindly confident.

  Take the fraudulent masquerading as a public prosecutor, which has the highest success rate and the heaviest losses, as an example.

When the liar says that the victim is suspected of a crime, he can also reveal the identity information of the victim.

At this time, the victim will feel that if it is not true, how can the other party know me so clearly?

  Then, the liar claimed to be a policeman, called the police number, and even wore a police uniform to make a video connection with the victim to make a transcript, making the victim convinced of his identity and gradually brainwashed.

  Feng Wei told reporters that in the early days of public security fraud, scammers asked victims to transfer their assets to the so-called security account of the police, but now the public's anti-fraud awareness has generally been mentioned. When it comes to transfers or security accounts, many People "wake up" and won't be fooled.

Therefore, now the scammers don't ask the victim to withdraw money at all, nor do they talk about a secure account. Instead, they first ask the victim to enable the screen sharing function on their mobile phone, and then ask the victim to log in to online banking to check the status of their bank account.

  The operation process of the victim entering the account number and password to log in to the online banking, and even the verification code received by the mobile phone, the scammers can see at a glance through the screen sharing function. They use this information to log in to the victim's bank account synchronously and transfer the money directly.

  When some liar made a so-called video recording with the victim, they made the victim blink, shake his head, and secretly recorded it.

Some financial institutions' APPs require face recognition verification when customers log in, and scammers use video recordings for the victims to verify.

  Many victims are puzzled after the incident. They have never disclosed their account information and passwords to the scammers. How did the money get transferred?

That's why.

  Feng Wei said that the tricks of liars are constantly changing.

If you turn a deaf ear to anti-fraud propaganda and don’t understand the tricks and tactics used by scammers, you will easily fall into the trap when you receive fraudulent calls.

  problem

  Many victims have no awareness of prevention

  Gao Yue, the captain of the Xicheng Anti-Fraud Center, told reporters that now the swindlers are becoming more and more cunning, often asking the victims to contact them in places that are not easy to find, such as street parks, teahouses, restaurants, and even bathing centers, so as to prevent the victims from being dissuaded by their family members or the police.

Therefore, every time a person who may be deeply brainwashed is discovered, the police will bring a few more dissuasion officers to the door to dissuade them.

One is that it is easier to find victims with more staff, and the other is to take turns to increase the success rate of dissuasion.

  In this job of "robbing people" with liars, they have shown an extraordinary sense of responsibility.

  Once, a female victim was defrauded by posing as a public prosecutor.

The liar called and said that she was involved in a criminal case. It happened that the female victim had been deceived because of investment and financial management. After the liar made her words out, they used the words to deceive her trust, promising that as long as the suspicion of criminal crime was cleared this time, Help the female victim to collect the money.

  The female victim was unhappy because she had been defrauded of hundreds of thousands of dollars. When she heard that she might get her money back, it was as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and obeyed the liar.

  Gao Yue brought three dissuaders to the door to dissuade her, but the female victim was convinced of the liar, so she didn't let the police and dissuaders in at all, and wanted to force them to leave.

  In the end, everyone stood outside the victim's house and persuaded her for more than 4 hours, broke apart and smashed the liar's routine for her to "review" the liar, and her lips were almost worn out, only then did the woman realize that she had encountered a telecommunication scam.

  Method

  Let the public experience first-hand "being deceived"

  During the interview, the reporter noticed a detail.

Most of the police and dissuaders in the anti-fraud center speak much faster than normal people, and some people can't even stretch the "pimples" on their brows.

This is their tongue-in-cheek work day after day, racing against time to dissuade them, and it is also a reaction to their long-term anxiety.

  "Anti-fraud is a work of conscience." Police officer Feng Wei said: "In the beginning, this was a job for us. But when we saw the confusion about life after the client was deceived, some people even wanted to die. I have everything in my heart, and I feel really uncomfortable. Right now, all I can think about is to save one or the other. Every time we receive an early warning clue, we will do our best. Come, a home may be destroyed..." Feng Wei said.

  Because there are more and more victims of blind confidence in reality, the anti-fraud police are also constantly developing channels for prevention and propaganda to improve the effect of propaganda.

For example, posting precautionary tips in the toilets, performing anti-fraud publicity through cultural performances, pushing anti-fraud videos through online platforms, printing publicity tips on daily necessities... In short, use various eye-catching ways to publicize.

  If the public can "feel" a telecommunications fraud in person, it is undoubtedly the best defense.

To this end, the Xicheng Public Security Bureau has built a police service station in the Xidan Update Field, especially for various types of telecommunication frauds to carry out interactive experiential prevention publicity, so that the public can be "immersed" in various telecommunication frauds and understand how liars lure people into the trap. , so as to enhance the ability to prevent fraud and identify fraud.

  In addition, Xicheng Police also established a linkage early warning and dissuasion mechanism between the Anti-Fraud Center and various police stations, which effectively improved the accuracy of interception and dissuasion.

With the anti-fraud center as the supervision and guidance, 19 police stations have set up a "96110" special line for discouragement, and there are special personnel responsible for receiving, dissuading and giving feedback.

  Up to now, the anti-fraud center of Xicheng Branch has effectively made more than 3,000 warning and dissuasion calls and sent more than 1,800 dissuasive text messages every day.

In just 4 months, 430,000 early warning clues were processed, 280,000 potential victims were discouraged, and the damage amounted to 390 million yuan.
