Police help prevent fraudulent transaction
    2019-07-16  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

LONGHUA Police recently helped prevent a couple from being swindled out of 88,000 yuan (US$12,797), the Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported.

The man, who was identified by his surname Li, rushed to the Zhangge police office on July 9 and told an officer named Liu Zhengchun that his wife, surnamed Yan, had suddenly disappeared while they were selling vegetables at the Zhangge market and that he could not reach her by phone.

He thought this was abnormal so he went to the police station for help.

After hearing the details of the case, Liu suspected that Yan had been the victim of a scam. Liu, therefore, kept calling Yan. At the same time, Liu arranged for his colleagues to search quiet and private places.

Policemen checked every middle-aged woman who was wearing a pink shirt and talking on a mobile phone.

After 10 minutes, Liu got through to Yan’s phone and located her based on the information she offered. Yan was just about to enter the account number designated by the suspect when the policemen found her and told her to stop the transfer. The policemen asked Yan to check her account on her banking app. Luckily, 88,000 yuan, the couple’s savings, was still there.

It was confirmed by the police that Yan was tricked by a suspect who had pretended to be a police officer and demanded Yan keep silent. The suspect told Yan to go to a quiet and remote place and follow his instructions to transfer all of her money to a “safe account” in order to prove her innocence.

The police said that they do not deal with issues like money laundering via mobile phone, text message or social media, and they would not provide a “safe account.”  (Wang Jingli)
