[Briefing] On April 20, 2024, Shenzhen Anti fraud Center received a telephone fraud warning that "an 80 year old man may be being cheated", and quickly organized community police to stop him. It was verified that on the afternoon of April 7, 2024, the old man received a call at home calling himself "Shenzhen Network Center". The other party said that his ID card had opened a mobile phone card in Sanya, which was suspected of sending more than 10000 malicious messages. All mobile phone cards under his name should be seized. Later, the phone was transferred to the "Sanya Public Security Bureau", and the elderly were required to keep strictly confidential and not contact the local public security and family members. The old man was completely unaware of the above fraud and believed in it. In the following week, the elderly downloaded the "RayLink" APP as instructed by the other party for investigation, and reported to the liar three times a day. Under the guidance of the swindler, the old man withdrew all the insurance benefits under his name into a Industrial Bank card under his name. The swindler remotely controls the old man's mobile phone through the "RayLink" APP and secretly transfers all the money in the old man's Industrial Bank card. It was not until around 10:00 on April 20, when the police came to dissuade him, that the old man realized he had been cheated. At present, the Shenzhen Anti Fraud Center has stopped the payment of relevant accounts.

[Technique analysis] Recently, there have been many cases of people over 70 years old being defrauded by telephone. Shenzhen Anti fraud Center has summarized some common features. The reason why the above telephone fraud has become the "number one killer" of the elderly, especially those over 70 years old. Because they are getting older, their reaction and mentality are becoming worse and worse, and they know little about new telecom network fraud. Therefore, they are more likely to be targeted by telephone fraudsters. A large number of cases show that most victims do not live with their children. Such telephone fraud often lasts for half a month, or even longer, until the police come to visit, the victims suddenly realize, but it is often too late.

What is the fraud of impersonating the public security organs and the courts?

The fraud of impersonating the public security, procuratorate and judicial organs refers to that the fraudster calls the victim by impersonating the public security, procuratorate, court and other national law enforcement and judicial organs, claims that the victim's identity has been falsely used or is suspected of various crimes, requests cooperation with the law enforcement and judicial organs, and then induces the victim to transfer money to the "security account" provided by the suspect for "review".

[Police Reminder]

1. Be alert when receiving strange calls. Please don't panic when receiving any claim from any organization or company, such as the Network Center, the Public Security Bureau and the telephone company, that they are suspected of committing crimes. Please tell your family and friends at the first time and ask for help.

2. Numbers beginning with 00 or+are foreign (overseas) communication numbers (see the figure below). Chinese government departments and domestic companies will not use such numbers to make calls or send text messages.

3. The public security organ will never handle a case by phone, and do not trust a liar to install working software to assist in handling a case.

4. If investigation is needed, the party concerned will be notified to go to the law enforcement place, show his/her certificate, and go through the formalities before questioning.

5. Any person who asks the party concerned to transfer money without meeting or performing relevant procedures is a liar. Please refuse. You will never be frozen all your deposits because of "refusal to investigate".
