Online dating has the characteristics of "convenience, high efficiency, privacy, freedom of collection and release, and little negative impact", which caters to the various psychological needs of modern people in pursuit of love life, and also gives some unscrupulous individuals or gangs the opportunity to cheat by taking advantage of the characteristics of the network and the urgent and secret psychology of courtiers.
At present, there are many online dating platforms in China, including social media such as QQ, WeChat, Weibo, Tantan and Momo, as well as real-name authentication dating platforms such as zhenai, Lily.com and Jiayuan. Even the functions of "nearby people" and "shake" in the mobile phone can make you meet strangers easily.
Professor Zhang Maoyun warned that on social platforms, the following types of people are the easiest targets: 1. Older unmarried men and women have great self-pressure; 2. People who are forced to get married under great family pressure; 3. Middle-aged divorced and widowed; 4. Lonely old people living alone; 5. Married people seeking extramarital affairs and sexual satisfaction. Generally speaking, people who are rich and have strong emotional needs for marriage and love are easily deceived.
Liars seize the psychology of such groups and use various means to commit crimes. Generally speaking, the routine of online fraud is: getting to know-please-conquer-cheat.
Acquaintances: Marriage scammers are familiar with various dating platforms and websites, and take the initiative to make friends and establish contacts with false identities such as rich second generation, company executives and returned overseas Chinese, and then put mysterious colors such as "providence", "fate" and "destiny" on acquaintances.
Please: once the connection is established, on the one hand, the marriage swindler will ask you questions every day, praise you, make you feel good and let your guard down. On the other hand, I will know your personal information, especially income and property information, to determine whether you are a "fraud object".
Conquest: this is an important part of the success of fraud. Through the early communication, the marriage swindler has mastered your personality characteristics and psychological needs. If you value love, the other person will make up a bright future, which will make you feel moved and attached; If you value profit, the other party will show you their advantages such as property, family background and social resources, which will make you admire and admire. Both men and women, once emotional, are prone to lose their minds. Once a person is worshipped, it is easy to lose self and judgment and be manipulated by the other party.
Deception: There are many methods of deception, but none of them can bypass a word of money. Or play the "sad card" and ask you for financial help when you encounter a car accident or business trouble; Or play the "benefit card", claiming to have mastered the inside story of high-return investment gambling, so that you can invest money to win; Or play "sincerity card" to test your sincerity, ask you to make some kind of consumption or shopping, or help him complete the sales task. According to your financial resources, a marriage swindler will cheat you into giving you acceptable money first, and then increase it step by step until you are drained of it.
In addition to the above routines, "short and fast", "wine tray" and "rice tray" fraud are also rampant. Wine trays and rice trays are generally female netizens, who use their beautiful photos as an excuse to fall in love, blind date and get married, and quickly meet offline. They often designate a bar, coffee shop or entertainment place as the meeting place. When a male netizen goes to an appointment with the mentality of releasing pressure and pornography, he will find that the price of drinks or food is extremely expensive, but out of face, he has to bite his teeth and pay the bill, and the liar disappears after winning the prize.
Zhang Maoyun reminds people who want to get to know the other half through the Internet to be highly vigilant in the following situations:
1. The appearance or economic conditions are good, but the worship of you is beyond reality and flatters too many people.
2. People who deliberately avoid their work and family information, but insinuate and inquire about your property information too early.
People who refuse to see you for various reasons. Even if you propose to meet, it is at the other party's location or the third place, in case you see through his scam.
4. I soon got to know people who asked for financial help or invited businesses to gamble.
In the network communication, people often have contradictory or inexplicable words. Because online scammers will fall in love with many "prey" at the same time, because everyone's situation is different and his memory is limited, it is impossible to do everything in the communication without revealing the clues.
Zhang Maoyun said that online friends must be cautious, establish a correct concept of love, and don't be too greedy for each other's appearance and money; Don't disclose your personal information, especially financial information; Don't trust the online dating platform too much; To achieve "authenticity, equivalence and verification", that is, the information provided by both parties is true and equal, and meet in a safe public place to confirm the authenticity; When the other party offers to borrow money for various reasons, it should be highly vigilant, and don't lend money to the other party or remit money to the account provided by the other party easily; If you are unfortunately cheated of money, it is recommended to call the police as soon as possible to reduce losses and inform relevant relatives and friends to prevent scammers from using your information to continue cheating. ▲ (Reporter Shui Xin)
