There are only 4 days left before Double Eleven. With the launch of various promotional methods by shops and merchants, many people have started the "buy, buy, buy" model in advance, but some criminals have taken the opportunity to "take fish in troubled waters" and deceive consumers and merchants' property. According to statistics, Double Eleven every year is also the peak period of online fraud. Sellers and buyers must be careful of getting lost. Let’s take a look at a set of data.
I was cheated of 180,000 yuan when I wanted to brush SLRs during the order brushing process
In order to stimulate consumption and impact sales, some online store merchants hire others to brush orders for the store to create the illusion of praise. However, some merchants who use order brushing routines have been "routed" by criminals. In a fraud case handled by the People's Procuratorate of Zengcheng District, Guangzhou, the suspect lured Li to cooperate in order brushing, defrauding Li of the principal and commission used by "brushing orders" of "brushing orders".
The Guangzhou procuratorate disclosed that some criminals disguised themselves as one-handed brushing, used hacking software, and used false online order-brushing transactions to defraud online store merchants of money.
In the Rao Moumou fraud case handled by the People's Procuratorate of Baiyun District, Guangzhou, Rao Moumou purchased order-brushing products on the computer and asked the online store owner to remotely control his computer to pay by himself on the payment page. Since Rao Moumou's computer has a hacker phishing software installed in advance, the computer will automatically replace the merchant's online store payment page with his Alipay recharge page and increase the recharge rate by 5 or 10 times. For example, if the merchant purchases 200 yuan on his own online store, he has actually transferred 1,000 yuan or 2,000 yuan to Rao Moumou's Alipay account. In this way, Rao defrauded the store owner of more than 100,000 yuan.
The actual amount of money claimed to be refunded during the shopping process
According to the Guangzhou Procuratorate, some merchants expanded the consumer audience through various false sales promotions during the "Double 11" period, and used full cashback, consumption rebates, introduction rebates and other methods to defraud consumers of shopping.
In a related case disclosed by the procuratorate, the online store owner Ma took advantage of the online promotional and publicity opportunity of the "Double 11" Shopping Festival to launch a false advertisement of "free cross-border shopping, capital sharing, and full consumption return", and promised consumers that the full refund time limit for each consumption level, and refunded buyers with a consumption amount of less than 1,000 yuan on time, and promised to introduce friends to the WeChat group to reward customers with a consumption amount of 1% to 1.5%. Under such publicity, the number of consumers in Ma's WeChat group of WeChat stores has rapidly increased to more than 1,500, but when the first batch of large-scale consumption payments was about to end, Ma took all the products from the online store and absconded with the money. By the time of the incident, his WeChat store had made a profit of more than 8.34 million yuan.
Refunds are required after the goods are dropped.
In order to encourage transactions and protect consumers' right to inspect goods, many online shopping platforms have introduced rules for unconditional returns within seven days of online shopping, and some criminals have also come up with the idea of this rule.
In a fraud case handled by the Tianhe District People's Procuratorate, the suspect Zhu Moumou purchased digital products such as headphones in an online store. After receiving the goods, he unpacked the packaging and took the product for himself. He then put it in debris of the same weight as the original product and initiated a return application. The online store owner did not unpack it after receiving the goods package. He just signed for it and returned the payment when he saw that the plastic wrap film of the package was intact. Later, the merchant resold the goods to a new customer. It was not until the new customer complained that the goods were "not in line with the board" that the online store owner discovered that the goods had been dropped before.
Faced with the above cases, it is not difficult for us to find that in many cases, it is because of our own negligence that gives criminals an opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, we need to be vigilant and think more about things to avoid such things.
