On March 20 this year, the Chengnan Police Station of the Qingjiangpu Branch of the Huai'an Municipal Public Security Bureau received a report from Ms. Qin claiming that she had been deceived by an "American". It turns out that Ms. Qin is an online micro-businessman. Not long ago, she met an American soldier who claimed to be in Syria on a social software. "The other party said that he was not only a soldier but also a general, and he kept chatting with me in English, because on WeChat, I had to translate it to understand." Ms. Qin said, "And every time he sent me photos, They were all wearing military uniforms, and they said they had negotiated with the Syrian president, and they took a photo together, which he also sent to me. "This made Ms. Qin very happy. After chatting many times, the two became familiar with each other and became friends who talked about everything. Ms. Qin was very attached to each other, and soon the two of them upgraded to a romantic relationship, and they were usually in harmony with each other.

On March 10 this year, Ms. Qin received a message from the "Syrian general", "Qin, I am about to retire. The Syrian government has prepared a pension of 2.5 million US dollars for me, but I am in Syria I have no relatives, and the current situation in Syria is turbulent. There are great security risks in keeping money in the bank, so I hope to send you my package of 2.5 million US dollars. Please help me keep it..."

< p> Ms. Qin readily agreed to the "lover's" request. Therefore, the other party asked Ms. Qin to contact a local delivery person. Ms. Qin added the delivery person on WeChat. At this time, the "Syrian General" told Ms. Qin that it would cost 1,000 US dollars to transport the box, and said that when the Syrian President talked to him, the money was given directly to the deliveryman and was not in his hands. He had money, but due to bank reasons, he couldn't transfer it at all. The other party also said that after retirement, when he goes to China, he will return the money to Ms. Qin. Thinking that she would soon be with her sweetheart, Ms. Qin remitted more than 6,400 yuan to the delivery man.

On March 20, the deliveryman contacted Ms. Qin again and said that in order to ensure the safety of the package, he hoped that Ms. Qin could buy another $3,000 insurance. At this time, Ms. Qin felt that something was not right. She tentatively told the "Syrian General" that he would refund the freight money to her first. She could not help him for the time being, but the "Syrian General" never reply to her. Later, when Ms. Qin contacted the other party again, she found that she had been blocked by the other party.

At present, the police have been involved in the investigation. In response to such scams, the Provincial Anti-Fraud Center reminds the general public not to be fooled by the other party's self-proclaimed "high-ranking" status when making online friends. Once the other party makes a request for money, it can basically be determined to be a scam.

So, I would like to remind everyone that you should be more cautious when making friends online, which is good for everyone.
