During the video chat, I clearly saw that the person borrowing the money was a relative or friend, but I was eventually fooled; I applied for a job through QQ, but was defrauded of the registration fee and deposit... Recently, two incidents occurred one after another in Taiyuan City. There have been more than a dozen cases of fraud using QQ, and the victims have suffered huge losses. On April 26, the Internet Police Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau reported three typical QQ fraud cases that were recently uncovered. It also dissected the three main fraud methods of criminals and reminded netizens to take more precautions. 1 Typical Cases Case 1: In mid-May last year, citizen Zhang’s QQ account was stolen. Criminals pretended to be Zhang and defrauded his friends of 10,000 yuan. After more than half a year of investigation, the Internet Police Detachment went to Binyang, Guangxi to eliminate this fraud gang. Pan and other suspects are currently in custody. It has been found that more than 300 people across the country have been defrauded, and the amount involved is more than 2 million yuan. Case 2: One day in early July last year, Ms. Yuan, a citizen, chatted with her son via QQ video. The son said that he had borrowed 37,000 yuan from a classmate because of an emergency, and provided his classmate’s bank account number so that his mother could repay the money. Ms. Yuan learned that she had been deceived after she spoke with her son on the phone after remitting the money. With the cooperation of relevant departments, the Internet police finally eliminated this four-person fraud gang in Zhuhai. Case 3: In late September last year, Yan, a student from a university in the provincial capital, saw an online message that "Shangding Literature and Art Publishing House" was recruiting typists. As a result, when he contacted the company to apply for the job, he was defrauded of 22,000 yuan in the name of a deposit. Internet police finally uncovered this family fraud gang in Nanning. 2 Three methods: Internet police analysis found that criminals mainly use three fraud methods. Technique 1: Capture the screen during video chat with the target QQ, and then trick the target QQ into browsing the phishing website to steal the password. When the target QQ is not online, pretend to be the target and chat with his relatives and friends to commit fraud. Technique 2: Use QQ to impersonate or fabricate some companies, publish false recruitment or lottery winning news, and induce victims to fall into the trap. Technique 3: Create a highly simulated website page, pretend to be a well-known company's website to spread false lottery winning information, and then defraud in the name of handling fees, postage fees, and income tax. 3. Anti-fraud strategies In response to online QQ fraud cases, Internet police remind netizens: Do not accept emails and unknown links from strangers to prevent QQ numbers from being stolen; when receiving unidentified visitors, do not disclose information about yourself and your relatives and friends; If you find that your QQ number has been stolen, you should notify your relatives and friends in time, and retrieve and change your password as soon as possible.
