Is it true that you can get 330 thousand old age allowance by paying 3 thousand?

At 9 o'clock on March 23, the Quanshan Police Station of Zhaoyuan City Public Security Bureau received an alarm from the staff of a courier company in the jurisdiction, saying that an old man received a courier with a cash check of 330,000 yuan, which required a handling fee of 3,000 yuan. Suspect that the old man may be cheated. The police on duty immediately arrived at the scene and found an elderly man holding a cash check of 330,000 yuan from the Agricultural Bank of China, which had a dispute with the staff.

Upon inquiry, courier Xiao Zhang found that Uncle Guo had to pay a high handling fee of 3,000 yuan when delivering a courier. Xiao Zhang recalled that when the police went to the company for publicity and education a few days ago, the staff paid special attention to reminding the elderly that the recipients had to pay a high handling fee, which was most likely a fraud case. Xiao Zhang asked Uncle Guo to open the express mail on the spot and found that it was a cash check for 330,000 yuan. Xiao Zhang immediately explained to him that it might be a fake check, and kindly advised Uncle Guo that he might encounter a liar and never pay a handling fee of 3,000 yuan. Uncle Guo didn't listen. In desperation, Xiao Zhang had to call the police to persuade the elderly.

After carefully examining the express mail, the police found that there were many doubts about the 330,000 cash check: there was no sender's address on the express mail, the phone numbers of the recipient and the sender were uncle Guo's mobile phone numbers, the paper of the cash check was rough, and the check was stamped with the seals of China Minsheng Investment and the Ministry of Finance. The police told the old man that it can be concluded from the above that this check is false, and explained to him the anti-fraud knowledge of such cases.

I didn't expect the old man to be stubborn and couldn't listen to the police's kind words. He said: "Comrade police, this is the 330,000 old age allowance reissued by the Ministry of Finance in Beijing. The staff of the Ministry of Finance said that there are 60 places in the country, which can't be false. As long as I pay 3000 yuan, the staff will activate the check for me. I must try. " The stubborn behavior of the old man made the police laugh and cry. In order to let the elderly see through the scam, the police decided to take the elderly to the bank for identification.

The police reminded that it is necessary to be cautious when collecting unidentified express delivery, especially when asking for high handling fees. If you receive cash checks and other items, you need to check with the bank or contact the police, beware of fraud, and don't pay a large handling fee under the temptation of interests.
