Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) On August 15th, Neijiang police successfully intercepted a telecommunications fraud case. Faced with police intervention over the phone, the victim, Mr. Zhong, initially resisted strongly, insisting, "Don't stop me, I must deliver this money..." In the trunk of his car, 65,000 yuan in cash was heading towards the fraudsters' pockets. A race against time to intercept the fraud was unfolding on the highway. That day, the Neijiang Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment discovered during their work that a suspected victim was preparing to transfer funds to a fraudulent account. Neijiang police immediately activated their police-bank cooperation mechanism to quickly investigate relevant information. It was found that the money was not transferred online, but rather "delivered" by the victim himself.
The investigating officers realized they had to contact the victim immediately and stop the money. Therefore, the police immediately called Mr. Zhong, but he was extremely resistant on the other end of the line, saying, "I haven't been scammed!" "Don't call me anymore!"... Even more worryingly, Mr. Zhong had already driven away from Neijiang, heading towards Zigong.
Police officers from the Neijiang Municipal Public Security Bureau's Anti-Fraud Center and the Dongxing District Public Security Bureau quickly organized a force to pursue Zhong. However, the fraudsters were cunning, repeatedly asking Zhong to exit and re-enter the highway to evade detection. The police sped along and finally intercepted Zhong at the Gongjing toll station in Zigong City.
The moment the trunk was opened, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: thankfully, 65,000 yuan in cash was neatly arranged inside, not yet handed over to the scammers.
"Officers, it really wasn't necessary. They just wanted me to pay a 'freezing fee.' After paying the money, I could get all the money I invested back," Zhong said, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation after being intercepted. Only after the police patiently explained the situation did Zhong realize he had been scammed.
It was later learned that Zhong had met an "investment and financial management guru" on a short video platform while at home. After being lured by the guru's persuasive tactics, Zhong invested a considerable amount of money, but the guru then claimed an "operational error" and demanded a "freezing fee" before he could withdraw his funds. Fortunately, the police intervened in time, and Zhong's 65,000 yuan was saved.
