At the beginning of this year, the situation became more rampant. From January to February alone, 85 job-hunting scams were recorded, which was four times more than the same period last year, and the amount of losses was more than seven times more than 6.44 million yuan.
Fraudsters take advantage of the Internet to recruit so-called "sellers" and "remitters" on the Internet, and use fake apps to manipulate loans, and the victims of the deception end up in debt.
A 21-year-old woman earned 36,000 yuan in commission, and she did not hesitate to borrow "Treasure Boy" and an overdraft credit card, but was eventually defrauded of 730,000 yuan within one month.
The loss in the first two months reached 30% of the whole year of last year
The police received 332 job-hunting scams last year, an increase of nearly 90% from the 175 cases in 2019, and the amount of losses also increased by 28%, reaching 19.94 million yuan.
From January to February this year, 85 job-hunting scams have been recorded, which is four times more than the same period last year, and the amount of losses is more than seven times as high as 6.44 million yuan.
Most methods require victims to pay a "security deposit" or "administrative fee" if they want to be hired.
3 13-year-old teenagers were defrauded to apply for "remitter"
The victims were mainly from 41 to 60 years old. The youngest case was 3 13-year-old students who applied for a "remittance officer" online. They were defrauded of RMB 500 to RMB 3,000, which was discovered by the parents.
The police arrested 45 people from last year to February this year.
Job hunting scams spread from the streets to the Internet. Scammers post on social media to lure them with "quick money", claiming that no academic qualifications, experience, etc. are required. Candidates can be hired only by contacting WhatsApp.
Fraudsters set up a highly emulated application to display real-time rebates
One of the emerging "swiping orders" scams, claiming to be accumulated transaction records of products. After placing the goods in the shopping cart and taking a screenshot, the payment is also deposited into the designated bank account of the "merchant" to complete the "swiping order", claiming that the principal can be recovered And 5% to 10% commission.
Some scammers even deployed highly simulated applications to display the accumulated rebate amount in real time, which convinced the victims, but in the end they received no cash and the principal was in vain.
The case with the highest amount of money was a 21-year-old unemployed woman who was hired as a "scratcher" in December last year. She helped merchants buy fashion and designer handbags. She used her orders 11 times, even borrowing from financial companies and overdrawing credit card cash to increase Principal capital, to earn 5% commission of the purchase price, which is about 36,000 yuan, and finally a loss of 730,000 yuan within one month.
A 60-year-old male security guard became a ``remitter'' and was transferred away 600,000 for earning 60,000
Recruitment of "remitter" also claimed that "easy monthly income of tens of thousands", only responsible for remittance of mainland money to Hong Kong, applicants must provide ID card, address and bank information for "background check", and personal bank account registration contact number , Changed to a designated number, the fraudster used the loan fraudulently, and the victim, without knowing it, remitted a huge sum of money that he thought was a transfer to another account according to the instructions.
The victim knew that he had fallen into a scam until he received the bank statement, but was unable to cut back the payment in time.
In one case, a 60-year-old male security guard applied for the job of a "remitter". The personal information provided was stolen and loan was stolen. It was discovered after a few months, and he eventually earned 60,000 yuan and lost 600,000 yuan.
Another method is to require applicants to borrow money in their own name, and then the company will "pay the grain." In order to increase credibility, fraudsters will arrange for payment in the ground floor lobby of a commercial building.
In one case, the 26-year-old clerk took the 580,000 yuan loan personally to meet and settle the loan without fraud. As a result, the so-called "employer" went like a yellow crane after receiving the money.
The police reminded that if job seekers can only contact the company and be hired through social media such as WhatsApp, and are required to apply for loans and are highly paid, they must first understand the company's background.
In addition, do not easily provide a copy of your ID card and information, especially if you do not need it before signing the contract, and do not lend your bank account to relatives, friends, or strangers to avoid being used for illegal purposes.
