Yesterday, Mr. Liu from Fuzhou called this newspaper. His 70-year-old uncle Fang returned to Fuzhou to sweep tombs from Hong Kong a few days ago. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at his home in Fuzhou, he received a call from Tianjin, he said that his ID card was stolen and the phone was overdue for more than 2,000 yuan. In this way, Mr. Fang fell into the trap of a liar step by step and was cheated of nearly 200,000 yuan from Cary.
Mr. Liu said that his uncle came back from Hong Kong on April 1. On the 2nd, he received a call claiming to be a staff member of a communication company in Tianjin, saying that his ID card was stolen and the phone was overdue by more than 2,000 yuan. The other party can also tell his uncle’s phone number, ID card number and other information. His uncle was very nervous and said that he had never been to Tianjin, but someone used his identity falsely. The staff also prompted Mr. Fang to call the police immediately and enthusiastically transferred the call to a “police officer” named Zheng in Tianjin.
“Officer Zheng” first told him that the consequences of identity theft were very serious, which might involve the safety of deposits in the bank. He suggested that he freeze the bank card immediately and re-apply for Scrambler. “Police Officer Zheng” also told that the case was being investigated secretly and asked Mr. Fang not to speak out for the time being, let alone tell his family.
On April 6, “Officer Zheng” called again, asking Uncle Fang to go to the bank to re-apply for the password card. Mr. Fang really followed the instructions of “officer Zheng” and reissued the “Teller Machine” on the bank’s scrambler without being accompanied by his family “. After a while, Uncle Fang wanted to look at the funds in his account. As a result, all the deposits of nearly 200,000 yuan in the account were transferred. It was not until this time that he realized that he had been cheated and immediately reported the case to the police. (Reporter Huang Yiwei)
