  Love may be a long-planned "killing pig"

  When I was 30 years old, because of online dating, I was cheated out of nearly 260,000 yuan.

  To this day, I still can't believe that in the era of anti-fraud propaganda flying all over the sky, I have heard of countless fraud routines, and I am still doomed - until he disappeared from my life, and the news of credit card repayment flooded in. I just realized: I was cheated.

  I thought it was a sweet love, but I didn't expect it to be a long-planned "killing pig".

And I am the "pig" that is only waiting for the price to be fattened.

  In retrospect, the scam was full of loopholes.

  In September 2021, I met him while listening to songs on "Cloud Music".

When I heard a song "Summer Wind", I suddenly remembered my boyfriend who broke up in the first half of the year, and I left a message in the comment area when I was touched.

It didn't take long for someone to reply to me, saying that he felt the same as me.

  He is Bai Hong.

  We chatted for a while in the comment area, and I felt that this person was very sincere and lovely. He proposed a "friend request", and I agreed without saying a word.

Chatting online, I found that I had a lot of similarities with him, and we chatted very well.

The avatar of Baihong's social account is mature and stable. Although he is not particularly handsome, it can be seen from his "circle of friends" that this person loves life, likes fitness, travel, and usually lives in Shanghai.

  To be honest, I usually meet colleagues in my life, and I rarely meet such excellent single men.

Maybe it's my vanity, plus I'm not too young, he is very considerate and gentle to me every day.

In the eyes of me, who has suffered emotional trauma, he is the man who can redeem me.

Under his care, I did feel the sweetness of love.

  Within a few days of chatting, our relationship heated up sharply. After more than a week, we started calling each other husband and wife in a mocking tone on the Internet.

  During the time of the relationship, he said that he wanted to see the data at around 10 o'clock every night, and he was busy for more than half an hour each time.

After a few days in a row, I became a little curious and asked what he did?

He said that he invests in financial management online and speculates in gold futures.

I said I didn't understand, but he said it was very simple. He could accept me as a big disciple and buy me clothes with the money he earned.

  In fact, I was hesitant at first, but he directly said that he would give me 5,000 yuan to the account, and he would lose it if he lost.

I am embarrassed to refuse again.

  Immediately afterwards, he first let me download a chat software called Bat, saying that it is more private and the data will not be leaked.

Then he sent me a link, downloaded an app called "Foreign Money Can", asked me to register an account, and he taught me how to operate.

I first started the operation with the 5,000 yuan he credited into the account, that is, buy low and sell high. At the beginning, I made a few hundred yuan, so he asked me to withdraw the money to buy clothes and milk tea.

I found out that I could really withdraw, and then he encouraged me to invest more.

  In the past, I might have been very cautious, but now I am in love, and I don't want to make him unhappy, so I invested another 10,000 yuan.

  After making money, when I was about to withdraw cash, Bai Hong said to me: The principal is put here, and the interest is still high.

In my subconscious, he was so good to me, how could he lie to me.

So I promised him not to withdraw cash for the time being.

  The sweetness of love gave me no spare time to think about the loopholes in it. I successively invested 30,000 yuan, and I ran out of money on hand.

At this time, Bai Hong comforted me and said that for a better life in the future, he would find a way to help me make money together.

  His solution was to introduce me to several loan platforms, and he also told me: he helped me make an appointment for a fund activity, with a one-time investment of 150,000 yuan, and a cash withdrawal of 188,000 yuan after 7 days, and said that he had already helped me to prepay 10,000 yuan registration fee.

  At this moment, I have been riding a tiger, I can't let his money go in vain, I can only bite the bullet and borrow 150,000 yuan to join the event.

  Through the app, I see that the money in the account has been rising, but the app prompts to charge a handling fee and a deposit when withdrawing money.

I asked Bai Hong what was going on, and he said: It's all like this. Now we should continue to invest in chasing the price. It's not worth the money to withdraw.

  I didn't doubt his words, but I really ran out of money.

In order to withdraw and repay the credit card, I went to borrow money from relatives and friends everywhere, and paid tens of thousands of yuan in handling fees.

Until later, I was completely unable to borrow money, and Bai Hong couldn't find it either.

  I learned later that I was useless to him at that time, so he disappeared.

It dawned on me that I had been deceived.

  Afterwards, I found out that there are many posters in our community, and there are also posters about "killing pigs".

Thinking about it, why did I get into the game without knowing it, or because of my arrogance and ignorance, I never believed that I would be cheated before.

I always thought that it was the elderly who were deceived, and a literate young man like me would definitely not be deceived.

  At present, telecommunication network fraud methods emerge in an endless stream, and it is necessary for us to take the initiative to learn more about anti-fraud knowledge.

Later, the police asked me to download the "National Anti-Fraud Center" app, saying that it can identify and block all kinds of telecommunication network fraud information, and also connect to the police immediately, which is equivalent to putting a "golden bell" on the mobile phone.

It's a pity that I downloaded it late and I've been deceived.

  Now I just want to work hard, pay off my debts as soon as possible, and then live a good life.

  The beauty they thought was actually a burly man

  In the eyes of many people around me, I am honest and follow the rules.

They would not have thought, not even I myself, that one day I would go down the road of telecommunication network fraud.

  Looking for a job after graduating from university, I accidentally saw on the Internet that Chongqing Jinbox E-Commerce Co., Ltd. was recruiting operators.

I thought that the operator's job was easy and the salary was not bad.

  On the first day of work, I discovered that the so-called "operator" was actually the keyboard player of "killing pigs".

  In the dense cubicle of the company, there is a workstation belonging to me.

When I first came here, it gave me a feeling of being overwhelmed. Fortunately, I quickly adapted to the environment.

There is a textbook on "Fanshu" on my workstation, which says how to be ambiguous with netizens, how to attract netizens to buy me gifts, and how to get netizens to invest in futures.

  I always knew this job could be legal risk.

But in the face of the commission fee, I am still tempted.

  My main source of income is the commission commission from customer service, that is, when a customer buys me a gift and places an order in "Youyi City", or makes a deposit in the futures app we recommend, I can get a commission. The commission ratio is 8%, 10%, 12%, 8% below 10,000 yuan, 10% between 10,000 and 30,000 yuan, and 12% above 30,000 yuan.

  Within a few days, I was familiar with a series of processes.

  I pretended to be a woman and added netizens on multiple social apps.

After cultivating feelings through chat, induce the other party to buy health products and futures, or ask the other party to buy me bags, snacks, etc. through the "Youyi City" applet.

  "Youyi City" is actually a small program developed by our company. There is a front desk called Xiaocheng, which is also responsible for after-sales.

In fact, there is no after-sales service. People who buy things on this small program are all people who have been deceived by us. After taking pictures on it for a while, we say that the things have been received, but in fact they are not shipped at all.

  Although our company is engaged in futures on the surface, as well as online shopping malls, health product sales, etc., but in fact our futures platform and mini-programs are deceptive, not only the company is not qualified to engage in futures and online shopping malls, even I I don't even know what futures are.

  My profile on the Internet is a 32-year-old woman from Chongqing, divorced, unhappy in her previous marriage, and met a scumbag. Now she is opening a teahouse and selling health products, such as bird's nest, sea cucumber, and cordyceps.

When the relationship was stable, I began to trick the other party into buying health products and investing in futures.

  At the time, I had no guilt about my work.

In my opinion, my day job is just normal chatting, bragging, and occasionally improvising with my own real experience.

It's someone else's problem that others are willing to be deceived by me. They are too stupid and have nothing to do with me.

  I packaged myself as a person who is very good at playing futures. I told my clients that I had a lot of network resources and knew some inside stories, and asked them to pay attention. I would also send the screenshots of futures profits provided by the company to the clients.

If the client is interested, I will send him the link or QR code of the company's futures app, guide him to download the Huixin International App, etc., and teach him to register and open an account.

However, these are all fake. The money deposited by customers is directly transferred to the boss's account, and the rise and fall of the futures platform is operated by the company's background.

  The cell phone ringing in the grid kept coming and going, and every time I rang, I felt in a trance that I was one step closer to "success".

  Each of our operators has about a dozen mobile phones, and many netizens have been added to them. Sometimes I chat with them myself, and sometimes the boss or other people who are free will also chat with them.

  Those victims may still indulge in the illusion of "love" created by us, but they don't know that the beautiful confidant they think is actually a burly man.

The truth of this "love", many people will not know until they are deceived and bankrupt.

  Usually, we don't have voice chat or video with each other, but sometimes there is no way, the boss asks his girlfriend Xiao Zhao to video.

Because our "circle of friends" photos are all using her.

  Today, I am behind bars and paying a heavy price for breaking the law myself.

I just want to change my mind and be a good person.

I don't want someone to say to my children in the future: Your dad is a scammer.

  I would also like to remind netizens who like to make friends online: Be cautious when making friends online. As long as you haven’t met, don’t make money transactions, let alone make investment and financial operations, and beware of being deceived.
