However, some criminals use the public's "seeking heart" and use the name of purchasing. They also claim that the DAB and the FTU have also ordered masks from them, and after defrauding the ordering people for more than 2.2 million yuan, they allege that they have also been deceived. Both are suffering masters, but nothing at all.

They questioned that the police had successfully arrested another confessed scammer within 3 days of reporting the case, but Ms. X, who lied to selling masks to the party, still suspected that she still advertised to others, suspecting that it was a group of “slap lambs”. .
