Preparing to send 350 grams of gold

To a designated location for transaction

Time was urgent

The police immediately organized personnel

Stopped Ms. Chen at the bank entrance

At this moment, Ms. Chen was holding a heavy gold bar

Explaining to the police

“I’m going for a legitimate investment

The returns are very high”

After现场劝阻, the police patiently guided Ms. Chen into the station

To carry out further publicity and education

Upon investigation, Ms. Chen encountered a false investment and financial management scam on a chat platform

The other party disguised themselves as

A listed company boss

After some “hot chat,”

They took Ms. Chen to invest in a “guaranteed profit” project

The other party asked Ms. Chen to download an investment app

And after depositing money, she would earn profits within minutes

“100 USD”

Ms. Chen believed it completely

And continued to follow the other party’s instructions

To make large investments

At this time, the scammer claimed

Immediately activated a rapid interception mechanism

Successfully protected the 350 grams of gold

“My hands are trembling, but the gold is still here!”

Under the relentless anti-fraud education from the police

Ms. Chen finally realized her mistake

Do these scam tactics look familiar?

Precise targeting

Scammers lurk in comments of investment and financial videos or articles, actively seeking potential victims to contact.

Profile crafting

Impersonating military personnel, executives, and other authorities to create an image of “trustworthy and well-connected,” gaining trust.

Small bait

First offering victims small rebates to break psychological defenses, then诱使 them to invest larger sums.

Unusual transactions

Requesting physical delivery of gold, cash, etc., to evade online payment regulations and increase difficulty in追查.

Covert methods

Instructing to hide valuables in ordinary items for mailing, attempting to avoid inspection.

Police reminder

When someone asks you to send large amounts of cash or gold via express delivery or ride-hailing services for reasons like “paying fees,” “unfreezing funds,” “depositing,” “proving innocence,” etc., it’s a scam!

High-value stores, such as gold shops, when faced with large orders requesting bulk gold purchases but no specific details about the items, and requiring delivery via express or ride-hailing, should immediately be alert!

Delivery companies and courier platforms should strictly follow procedures like opening and inspecting parcels during order processing. If encountering large amounts of cash or gold, unclear recipient addresses, suspicious packages, or abnormal behavior from senders or recipients, further verification is necessary!

Ride-hailing drivers, please note: if during order acceptance you notice unclear delivery addresses, separation of people and goods, small vehicles carrying large items, suspicious behavior, or orders with significantly higher-than-market prices for long-distance transport, further inquiry and verification are required.

If you encounter any of the above situations,

Please call 110 immediately and cooperate with police investigations.
