Winning the lottery becomes the volt!
A female victim recently received an email claiming to be the lucky one and won a grand prize of 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars. He went to a money lending company to borrow money, and was defrauded of 820,000 yuan in total. After discussing with his friends, the victim woke up like a dream. After receiving the report, the police conducted an in-depth investigation and arrested 4 men and 2 women.
Arrested 4 men and 2 women (aged 29 to 40), employees of a money lending company, on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud.
The police investigation found that the money lending company did not have a lender license, and the company’s false ceiling concealed HK$1.5 million in cash, a large amount of loan documents and four mobile phones. The police are investigating whether there are other victims.
Last Thursday (23rd), the 67-year-old female victim called the police, claiming that she had received an email earlier, claiming to have won the 1.2 million Hong Kong dollar grand prize. She believed it to be true, and the scammer immediately demanded to pay a number of expenses, including lawyer fees and application certificates. According to the instructions, the victim deposited a total of 820,000 yuan into the fraudster’s account. The fraudster saw that she was exhausted and had no more money to deposit into the account. The fraudster pretended to be a bank employee and referred her to a money lending company in Mong Kok to borrow money. , Fortunately, before departure, the victim discussed with friends and suspected Zhongfu, so he called the police.
