There's a case that sounds a bit absurdly simple, but in reality, it scammed tens of thousands of yuan.


The scammer operated exclusively late at night, opening the "People Nearby" and "Shake" features.
Once someone started a conversation, he would casually select a nearby hotel, send the location, and straightforwardly say: "Transfer the money first, then we meet."
You might think, how could anyone fall for this? But the truth is, quite a few people did transfer money.
He took the money, never showed up at the hotel, directly blocked the other party, and then looked for the next target.
His method was so crude that it almost lacked any technical sophistication, relying entirely on impulsiveness in the dark and a bit of luck.
This case was eventually solved, and the total amount involved was staggering.
The scammer's gamble was never about skillfulness, but about that night-time rush and desperation.
