Thunderbolt's five-year "lucky cat" is finally about to cash out the funds? Someone got scammed twice!

There is a category of people who are easily targeted by scammers—that is, victims who have invested in a P2P platform but failed to redeem their investment funds. In the face of this kind of crowd, as long as the words "cash funds" are mentioned, it is inevitable that someone will be deceived.

The "Lucky Cat" financial management that has been thundering for five years has finally come to clear the funds? No! Waiting for you is often a new scam! Recently, there was a netizen who mistakenly believed that "the lucky cat will clear the funds" and was cheated again!

According to netizens' descriptions, he bought Lucky Cat's online financial management in 2018, and it didn't take long for the thunderstorm. Until February 15 this year, he suddenly received a text message claiming that Lucky Cat responded to the national policy to return the settlement, asking him to add a full-time staff to register with QQ. At first, the netizen didn’t believe it either. Two days later, his friend sent a message saying that he had also received information about the payment of funds from “Maneki Cat”. Said it might be true, and it turned out to be like this...

Therefore, the netizen added the scammer's QQ and joined the group. The customer service first asked him to provide information to check the amount of the previous mine, and then arranged for a third-party debt transfer agency to connect and exchange and charge a 10% handling fee. The app that the customer service asked him to register is the SKM exchange, a platform for speculating in coins . The netizen checked on the Internet that there was indeed such an exchange, and paid the corresponding exchange amount for hedging. As everyone knows, there is an exchange called SKM that is true, but he registered a fake APP!

After paying the redemption amount for hedging, the promised funds can arrive in the account in half an hour, but the netizen didn’t wait, so he asked the “planner”, and the other party said that the netizen’s bank card information was wrongly filled in, and he needed to pay a fee. Pen unfreeze gold. Netizens who only wanted to get back their own funds collected money and paid a thawing fee as required. Unexpectedly, the agreed payment did not materialize again one hour later, and the netizen realized that he had been cheated.

There are many cases of this kind of re-fraud in the name of "repaying funds". In recent years, there have been a lot of news about "Lucky Cat" redemption scams on the Internet. I hope everyone remains vigilant. Fraudsters often pretend to be the customer service of investment and wealth management platforms, contact victims through emails, text messages, phone calls, etc., induce victims to add QQ and WeChat chats on the grounds of refunding investment funds, and then send fake policy document pictures to victims , After gaining the trust of the victim, the scammers defrauded money on the grounds of increasing investment, paying taxes and fees, and unfreezing the deposit.

It is said that "you gain wisdom by eating a fall." It stands to reason that victims will be particularly cautious in this regard after being cheated, but scammers are well versed in human nature and can take advantage of your "weakness" to carry out precise fraud. In the face of the scam of "refunding funds", please keep in mind one thing: all app platform "customer service" that pays first and then refunds are liars, so don't be cheated twice! P2P platform refunds are generally executed by the court after the court's judgment becomes effective. The platform will not refund privately, will not require investors to pay a deposit, and will not return money in the form of investment rebates.
