Beware of courier fraud under the banner of 'national documents'
2024-10-22
Recently, Long, who lives in Qiannan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, received a package containing a colorful printed promotional flyer with two "official seals of the Ministry" and a pack of snacks without any production information. According to the relevant requirements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, the special poverty alleviation and relief funds for rural revitalization in each province in 2024 are now issued to individuals; The promotional brochure also states that relevant personnel who receive the notice can apply for 2.79 million yuan in "rescue funds" by scanning the QR code on WeChat. During this process, they need to follow the relevant instructions. If they do not cooperate, they will be listed as dishonest and executed persons, and those who are seriously affected will not be able to enjoy any national welfare policies in the future. Coincidentally, on October 14th, Ms. Lu, who lives in Zhijin County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province, also received the same express delivery. The brochure looks very "formal". In order to distinguish between the real and fake, Ms. Lu went to the local police station for help. The on duty police officer carefully examined the promotional materials and courier packaging and pointed out that this was a fraudulent act carried out by scammers under the name of a state agency. After the recipient scanned the QR code for operation, they may be deceived. According to China Youth Daily, since July this year, the Wenzhou Anti Fraud Center in Zhejiang has received multiple reports of fraud cases under the guise of "receiving huge poverty alleviation funds". Among them, Wang Sumin (pseudonym), a resident of Wenzhou, believed in documents stamped with the "national seal" and was defrauded of 120000 yuan. According to incomplete statistics, as of now, such fraud cases have also occurred in Jiangsu, Qinghai, Liaoning, Guangxi, Ningxia, Hunan and other places. In recent years, China has been cracking down on telecommunications fraud and increasing anti fraud propaganda efforts, with significant achievements. On May 27th this year, the Ministry of Public Security announced that China has cracked 1.945 million cases of telecommunications fraud in the past five years, effectively curbing the upward trend of telecommunications fraud. Despite this, telecommunications fraud still occurs frequently and frequently, and the situation of preventing and combating fraud remains severe. Criminals use the banner of "national documents" to commit fraud by delivering packages, exposing some weak links in current anti fraud measures and sounding the alarm for us. For example, through what channels did the criminals obtain the recipient's detailed information? For example, why can these "fraudulent express deliveries" be successfully sent out through legitimate courier companies? In this regard, the express delivery industry must strictly operate in accordance with the law, strengthen training for franchisees and couriers, enhance the awareness and ability of enterprises to prevent and combat fraud, and avoid being exploited by criminals and becoming accomplices to fraud. Criminals committing telecommunications fraud and illegally obtaining information from others is also a crucial step. To this end, relevant departments should increase the protection of citizens' personal information, severely punish enterprises and individuals who illegally leak and use citizens' personal information, and cut off the black industry chain of collecting, buying and selling citizens' personal information. In addition, more popular propaganda methods should be adopted to further embed anti fraud and anti fraud in the minds and hearts of the masses, and strive to achieve anti fraud propaganda without blind spots. Individual citizens should also enhance their awareness and literacy in combating fraud. When a 'pie' falls from the sky, one should calmly think about whether it is a trap dug by criminals in advance. Although there are various means and methods of telecom network fraud, the routines and techniques are basically the same. Always tighten the string of anti fraud and anti fraud, which is actually not difficult to identify. (New Society)
