Internet fraud, the elderly suffer the most.
At the end of 20 17, Chen Mou, a retired man from Fuzhou, suddenly received a phone call from a man who claimed to be a public security case handler. Another person was familiar with Chen Mou's personal information, and claimed that the public security organs had discovered that Chen Mou's bank account was suspected of money laundering and wanted to investigate it.
Subsequently, Chen Mou received many calls from different area numbers, some of them were "police" and some were "prosecutors". Both sides claimed that Chen Mou's account was used for money laundering in many places, and they wanted to "check" his account.
Panicked, Chen Mou told the "case handlers" all about himself, and opened an online bank account at the bank according to the other party's request, and transferred all his savings and financial insurance money into this account. In order to "cooperate with the account inventory", Chen Mou told the "case handler" the account number, password and dynamic verification code. The fraudster quickly transferred 3 million yuan from the account through a third-party payment platform. At present, the case is still under investigation.
This is not a case. Recently, the State Council Inter-Ministerial Joint Conference Office "Internet Plus Anti-Telecom Fraud" money shield Platform released "20 17 China Anti-Telecom Network Fraud Report". The report shows that the elderly are becoming the group with the largest loss caused by telecommunication network fraud, among which the elderly aged 56 to 60 have the highest average amount of fraud, exceeding 4,000 yuan. It is understood that there are many types of fraud cases against the elderly, including investing in "nursing homes", private high-interest financing, and purchasing "health products".
Public security police in many places told reporters that some elderly people were cheated of their pension money and life-saving money, and they went bankrupt. Some old people are angry and regretful after being cheated, suffering from great psychological pressure and trauma, getting sick and bedridden.
It is a common type of fraud to pretend to be a public security case handler.
The reporter's investigation found that compared with the traditional routines such as selling fake and shoddy goods and lottery fraud, the current fraud crimes against the elderly have new characteristics, and criminal gangs are more organized and professional.
Wu Shuo, head of the relevant departments of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Fuzhou Public Security Bureau, said: "Pretending to be a case-handling person in public security law is a common type of fraud, and the elderly are the easiest to be recruited, and the amount of fraud is large. These fraudsters have mastered the personal information of the elderly in detail, under the banner of state power organs, making many victims unfamiliar with the handling process of the public security law and the operation of bank accounts, especially online banking accounts. In a panic, they are eager to prove their innocence and are led by fraudsters. "
In addition, fraud gangs also registered leather bag companies, rented high-end office buildings and residential quarters as meeting places, held training courses, recommended themselves by investors, and even invited elderly people to make field trips, so that investors could taste some "sweetness" first and then induce more investment.
A number of policemen interviewed by reporters said that in view of the loneliness of some elderly people and the lack of companionship around them, criminal gangs also played "warm cards", and gradually gained the trust of the elderly by holding health talks, asking questions, distributing small gifts, organizing lottery dinners, etc., and then implemented fraud.
We should strengthen grassroots anti-fraud propaganda.
Zhuang Wenping, head of the Economic Investigation Brigade of Quanzhou Fengze Public Security Bureau, said that many fraud gangs are mobile criminals. Once there is any trouble or fraud, they run away quickly, and then go to other places to change their identities and continue to commit fraud.
The police in many places suggested that grass-roots units should improve their early warning and prevention capabilities, first discover and deal with such potential risks, and change the passive situation of investigating and dealing with them after causing heavy losses. Grass-roots units such as industry and commerce, public security, streets and communities should strengthen daily supervision and inspection, find suspicious clues in time, and form a joint effort to investigate and deal with them.
In addition, anti-fraud propaganda for the elderly should be more targeted. The reporter's investigation found that many grassroots units such as villages, communities and police stations. Their anti-fraud and investment safety publicity are superficial, and most of them send leaflets and text messages, which are concentrated once or twice a year, so it is difficult to get into the mind.
Chen, deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Quanzhou Public Security Bureau, said that police should be organized to go deep into the community and carry out regular training and publicity. Typical cases of elderly people being cheated can be made into sitcoms and local operas for touring. In addition, children should consciously remind the elderly to prevent cheating, pay attention to the abnormal dynamics of the elderly, and find and stop cheating in time.
The police also reminded the elderly to be vigilant, strengthen their study and understand new fraud methods. Businesses involving investment, fund-raising and private high-interest financing should be conducted in formal financial institutions such as banks and stock exchanges, and should not be tempted by high returns.
