After some bargaining, Wu Mou promised to sell a 90% new Mercedes-Benz to Zhao Hang at a price of 1.3 million yuan. Zhao Hang cautiously indicated that he wanted to see the car first.

If the inspection result is satisfactory, the remaining payment will be remitted to the bank immediately by a friend in Zhao Hang.
Be deceived/be taken in
People and cars were cheated and didn't see the money.

Zhao Hang arrived at Shiqiaopu on time, but he didn't see any cars or people. At this moment, Wu Mou called him and said anxiously, "There is a traffic jam! I came from Dadukou, and there was a traffic jam. You wait. " Then Wu Mou kept asking him how to get to the road and drive. Twenty minutes later, Wu Mou suddenly hung up.
Zhao Hang was puzzled, so he called Wu Mou, but the other party didn't answer the phone. He immediately called his friend Yu Yu, who exclaimed, "Didn't you already call me to pay?"

Six suspects are lying in bed "working"
Another weird fraud case! People and cars didn't show up, but they made a phone call with the cheated person's mobile phone and successfully cheated the money. Before receiving the report from Zhao Hang, the Public Security Bureau of High-tech Zone had received many similar reports.
The Public Security Bureau of High-tech Zone immediately set up a task force. By inquiring about bank account information and the whereabouts of funds, the police locked Peng and Zhang in Tangsan Town, Shuangfeng County, Loudi City, Hunan Province as the main suspects.
On September 1 1, the police came to Loudi City, Hunan Province. After many understandings, Peng and Zhang were both "working" in Foshan, Guangdong.
/kloc-one morning in September, 0/5, in a rented room with two rooms and one living room in Foshan, Guangdong, six men were lying on a messy bed, and many mobile phones at hand kept ringing. "No problem, I'll sell it to you for 20 thousand yuan, and then let your friend go to the bank to pay." A man was bargaining with the buyer when the door suddenly opened. "Don't move!" A dozen policemen rushed into the room and subdued six men. The police seized more than 30 bank cards used for fraud at the scene.
A ruthless liar
National "remote control" fraud apprentice
After the trial, six people confessed to the fraud of buying and selling used cars.
In fact, these people don't have their own cars, and they are completely "empty-handed wolves"-they publish information about the resale of used cars at low prices through the media, the Internet and mobile phone text messages in dozens of large and medium-sized cities across the country. Once a buyer contacted them, they agreed that one person would look after the car and the other would remit money to the bank. While looking at the car, they kept talking to the buyer and took the phone number of a friend waiting at the bank. Then they copied the buyer's phone number through high-tech means "mobile phone number change software" and talked to the buyer's friend to ask him to remit money. Most friends of the buyer will believe it when they see the buyer's mobile phone number.
According to the police investigating the case, two of the six suspects were apprentices who had just "learned from the teacher" and each paid a "tuition fee" of 5,000 yuan. Each of the six suspects has three or four mobile phones, and they lie in bed every day and make phone calls to cheat.
According to reports, criminal suspects confessed many fraud cases, and the deceived people were mainly concentrated in Chongqing and Wuhan. The police hope that the victims and insiders will take the initiative to contact the criminal police detachment of the Public Security Bureau of High-tech Zone at 68630788.

betray the pot to the roses
"Mobile phone number change software" is the culprit.
How do criminal suspects cheat remotely in different places? According to the police investigating the case, after mastering the buyer's mobile phone number, the scammer used the "mobile phone number change software" to convert his mobile phone number into the buyer's number and successfully cheated, thus winning the trust of the buyer's friends.
The reporter found in the online search that it is very common to sell "mobile phone number changing software" that can display any number, and many websites also provide the download service of "mobile phone number can be displayed and modified at will" software.
Yesterday afternoon, the reporter contacted the seller of a website. The seller said that the mobile phone number change software can hide the real number and protect personal privacy, and can display any mobile phone number or landline number you want to display on the other party's mobile phone landline or PHS. Will not leave any call records on the mobile phone call list. This kind of software can be roughly divided into three categories. The first one is called the computer version, which can only be used online. The second type is called ordinary mobile phone, which is used on mobile phones, but it needs to be connected to a computer to change the number; The third is the advanced mobile phone version, which can directly change the number on the mobile phone, and the price ranges from 200 yuan to 600 yuan. "I suggest you don't have to download the software, just give me a call and I'll help you change the number directly. It only costs 20 yuan at a time. " The seller finally said.
It is understood that national laws and regulations currently do not prohibit the use of VoIP to "change the number" calls; On the technical level, it is difficult for the communication department to supervise the calls made by "changing the number" in advance.
remind
If the number is familiar, confirm the identity of the other party.
The police said that the reason why criminals can succeed is to take advantage of the greed of some people. "A ninety percent new Audi, bid 1.3 million, the final transaction price 1.3 million. Someone still bought it. " The police said that such "pies" must not be eaten.
Secondly, a prerequisite for using "mobile phone number change software" to implement fraud is that criminals have mastered two phone numbers and the relationship between the two parties. If you don't know these personal information, you can't use the "rebranding software" to commit fraud. Therefore, citizens must take care of their personal information.
In addition, if people encounter calls from relatives and friends involving the other party's request for deposit or cash, don't simply judge the other party's identity by the caller ID number, but be sure to check and confirm the information as much as possible. The most direct and effective way is to call back the received phone number to confirm the authenticity, because the caller can't receive the phone.
