"Become a fitting clerk and receive all kinds of express for free" and "earn tens of thousands of yuan a month for free"... Recently, there has been a part-time wind of "fitting clerk" on some social platforms and short video platforms. However, many netizens recently reported to the reporter of the rule of law daily that they fell into the fraud trap of part-time "fitting staff".
According to reports, criminals first provide the victim with some tasks with a small amount of money, and quickly settle the expenses. After winning the trust of the victim, they can arrange various tasks such as Bill brushing. The amount involved is getting larger and larger, and obstacles are set up to prevent cash withdrawal, which makes the victim deeper and deeper.
Ms. Lin, from Qingdao, Shandong Province, recalled to reporters that she received the registration link advertisement of "sending and photographing fitting division" pushed by a short video platform, signed up with the mentality of earning pocket money part-time, registered an app according to the customer service guidelines, and was pulled into an order receiving group.
"As soon as I entered the group, the customer service transferred the 20 yuan postage to me, said that they paid the postage, and sent me the clothes a few days later to upload the 'Buyer show'. The task was completed smoothly, and I also got the fee." Ms. Lin said that because the "fitting" process was relatively long, the customer service suggested that she could "brush the bill" to make money during the period.
At the beginning, she received the "new person subscription form", which costs 2.8 yuan per order. The task is very simple, that is, paying attention to the online store and making comments. Ms. Lin easily completed it.
In this way, within a few days, Ms. Lin made dozens of yuan and gradually relaxed her vigilance.
Then, the customer service suggested that Ms. Lin could receive the "employee subscription form" after completing the assessment. Not only the cost of each order was increased to 5.8 yuan, but also a rebate of 20% of the principal. The specific operation is: Ms. Lin first pays for the order, takes the clothes, makes a good comment, and then the merchant transfers the principal, rebate, order receiving fee and so on to her. The subscription amount is divided into five grades, namely 101 yuan, 505 yuan, 1001 yuan, 3003 yuan and 5005 yuan.
On the first day, Ms. Lin earned 300 yuan and withdrew cash successfully.
The next day, Ms. Lin was told by the customer service that there was no small amount bill, so she chose a bill of 3003 yuan. After that, she was pulled into a five person social group. The "instructor" in the group asked everyone to work together to make a big order. After paying 3003 yuan, someone in the group suddenly said that they had made a mistake, resulting in the failure to place an order successfully, and the 3003 yuan paid by everyone was "frozen".
How to thaw? The "instructor" said that he had to apply for another "compound order" and each person needed to pay 13680 yuan. For this money, Ms. Lin was very anxious at that time. Coupled with the urging of others in the group, she suddenly "messed up".
"At that time, I just wanted to get out the money that had been invested. I believed what people said." Ms. Lin recalled that after paying 13680 yuan, there was a problem with cash withdrawal, and she had to apply for a new order that needed to pay 28000 yuan per person.
When Ms. Lin realized that others in the group might be Tuo and she might be cheated, she had paid 45000 yuan. Ms. Lin asked the customer service questions and was immediately blackmailed and kicked out of the group.
There are not many people who have similar experiences with Ms. Lin, and their experience of fraud is similar. Some victims said they paid a membership fee of several hundred yuan before becoming a "fitting man"; Other victims were asked to pull heads and "pull one person for 230 yuan".
The reporter's investigation found that the victims were mainly college students and "Baoma", aged between 20 and 40, mainly the recruitment information of product trial or clothing shooting obtained on the online platform.
On May 17, when the reporter searched for "fitters" on multiple network platforms, anti fraud tips jumped out on the page: be careful when applying for a job online. Don't trust the part-time and sideline information transmitted by strangers, and don't fall into the trap of fraud. Previously, some advertising accounts were also blocked by the platform. The reporter learned from several victims that the local police have filed their report for investigation.
"When I was doing information collection at the police station, I met an elder sister who was also doing a similar part-time job on the Internet. She was cheated of more than 400000 yuan, and most of them were loans." Ms. Lin said that this "subscription form" is actually a remittance to the other party's account. As soon as the money arrives, the fraud gangs will transfer immediately. Some gangs are still abroad, so it is difficult to recover the money.
For the fraud related behavior on the short video platform, Gansu anti fraud Center issued an early warning on May 6, saying that with the increasing popularity of short video, many swindlers targeted this "fat meat" and waited for the opportunity to implement all kinds of fraud. The main fraud methods are:
The part-time advertisement was released through the short video platform. After the victim added the other party as a friend, the other party lured the victim to swipe the bill on the virtual website on the grounds that "swiping short video can make money". After the victim repeatedly recharged and transferred money, he was unable to withdraw cash.
Through the private letter contact of the short video platform, he gradually developed into boyfriend and girlfriend with the victim. On the grounds that he "has channels to help the victim make money", he tricked the victim into investing and gambling on strange websites. The victim was unable to withdraw cash after multiple investments, and the other party also lost contact.
The fraudster pretended to be the customer service of the short video shopping platform, told the victim that the quality of the goods he bought was unqualified, and wanted to carry out the refund business, lured the victim to fill in his personal information and SMS verification code in the unfamiliar website, and then transferred the funds in the victim's account.
Don't cheat consumers when they are not familiar with Gansu Province, and don't trust them when they watch short calls or chat with strangers. Don't cheat consumers when they don't trust them. Anyone who invites you to swipe or invest in financial management is a liar. If you receive a call claiming to be the platform customer service, please contact the regular customer service in the background of the platform for verification. Please download the national anti fraud center app to add a layer of security to your mobile phone. In case of fraud, please call the police immediately.
The reporter found that some criminals targeted the victims of online fraud and claimed that they could recover the money by paying a certain fee. "I sent my experience of being cheated to the network platform. A few days later, someone said in a private letter that they could help me recover the cheated money." Ms. Liu from Haikou, Hainan, said that before long, the platform showed that the person's account was abnormal and had been restricted from logging in.
At present, in the search for "fitting people" on the relevant short video platform, the first search result is the short video of anti fraud publicity of the national anti fraud center, and the prompt message of "Beware of fraud traps" will appear below the search result. A number of cheated netizens expressed the hope that the platform can be strictly reviewed and undertake regulatory responsibilities.
