According to the Australian website social app official account, on Monday, July 2, 2018, more than 1: 00 p.m., the father of an Australian Chinese student Ruoyun, who is thousands of miles away, received a phone call that horrified him.
The number is exactly what my daughter has been using in Melbourne: "now I have your daughter, call me two hundred thousand Australian dollars!" Or I will destroy her! "
19-year-old Chinese Melbourne female students tied their own hands, recorded their own distress voice, and handed over their social app password. The intricate kidnapping of Melbourne students involved an elaborate transnational brainwashing scam, swindling "clever" fraud and the fall of young girls. Journalist interviewed the kidnapper's client to see how the cheater "brainwashing" a simple girl.
Melbourne, the kidnapping! When the girl was found, she was "confused."
Shortly after the desperate father received a phone call for kidnapping and extortion on July 2, the assailant began to use his daughter's social app to send himself pictures of her insulted and controlled daughter. Daughter's social app is obviously not if the use of myself, and if the father call if the "kidnappers" continue in the group continue to threaten, no more money, will further hurt if Yun!
Meanwhile, Ms. Pei, a roommate in Melbourne and Mr. Ruyun, received a call from Mr. Lisa, saying he was missing. Then Pepe received a call from a stranger who falsely claimed to be able to save him.
Just as friends and relatives were anxiously looking for Ruoyun's whereabouts, at 9 p.m., the cheater again sent a picture of his face with Ruoyun, which shocked his family. And if Yun father, also received the "kidnapper" call again, the phone call, daughter said: "Mom and Dad, help me, I can't stand it."
Ruoyun's parents sleepless overnight, physical and mental suffering, relatives and friends are also anxious. On Tuesday morning July 3, anxious father arrived at the airport to buy a ticket to Melbourne, and began to rush to apply for an Australian visa.
However, what is surprising is that after the police report, in the afternoon, Ruoyun's father, who was still anxiously waiting to sign, suddenly received a message from the teacher of Ruoyun School, saying that Ruoyun was found by the police in a hotel in downtown Melbourne. When found safe and secure, and a face confused.
The hearts of all the people were finally put down. But the damage that the kidnapping has done to everyone is devastating. On the other hand, Ruoyun's father, who had finally been granted a visa, was still unable to relax, flying on that night's plane and arriving in Melbourne at more than 8 a.m. on Wednesday, July 4.
See if Yun safety is found, we are gratified at the same time can not help but wonder: if Yun is really kidnapped? From July 2 to July 3 a short day, if Yun exactly what happened? Or, before July 2, what happened to Ruyun?
What happened to a 19-year-old girl?
In mid-June, in Ruoyun "kidnapping" case occurred 3 weeks ago. Ruoyun received a "business call" from the "Chinese Embassy in Beijing," saying she had a legal document to sign because her credit card had been used by criminals at customs. The other party claimed to be the "North Jingdong City Police Station" police officer "strict captain," he and Ruoyun said that the case is very important, to investigate secret, if Yun to do their best to cooperate.
Not deeply involved, the simple obedient Ruyun believed this call, but in any case, she could not imagine that she had begun to fall into a large network of transnational fraud. She began to listen to the incoming "public servant".
11-18 June: reporting movements. Ruoyun said, "strict captain" asked if Yun reported his schedule, daily movements, and can not tell anyone, otherwise there will be prison disaster. If Yun is convinced of the whole matter, it makes her feel that she can be easily controlled. She shared a room with her roommate, and though her tracks were suspicious, the roommate asked her many times, but she did not reveal any information.
So, within a few days, the "strict captain" said that since Ruoyun's bank card had been embezzled by criminals, so if the Yun had to apply for "account check", on the other hand, The leader of "strict captain" very strongly said "account check" is a very troublesome procedure, so rejected Ruoyun.
Go back and forth, if you are impatient, thinking that if you can not win this opportunity, you can not be cleared of suspicion, I do not know how many years of prison because of this case. Finally, if you try to talk, finally let the leader loose, agreed to give her a "account check" qualification.
June 18: "account check" stage, good money to clear "charges." The fraud's so-called check-up process required Ruoyun to transfer all the arrears to another account, and "Captain Yan" said the account he provided was an account of the "Hong Kong Independent Commission against Corruption". Want to clear suspicion if Yun does not hesitate to transfer 16,000 Australian dollars in the account to "Yan Captain" provided the account.
June 20, "Yan Captain" suddenly told Ruoyun, the case is going to court, court asked if Yun to provide financial proof. But if the money on the account has been transferred due to "account check", the cheater began to target the people around Ruoyun. The cheater asked Ruoyun to pay tuition fees to borrow money from friends and relatives, and gave Ruoyun including Alipay, social app payment accounts and other three kinds of payment accounts, told her to transfer the money to these accounts.
For court's financial proof, Ruoyun began to borrow money from his ex-boyfriend. If the ex-boyfriend to the fraud in the first day of the Alipay account called A $600, and the next day ready to call another A $1000, Alipay shows that the Alipay account suspected of fraud, has not been able to transfer money to it! In fact, should alert at this time, but if Yun does not have any suspicion.
July 2-3 July: "Virtual kidnapping" phase. By this time, discontented cheaters found that they could not squeeze any money from their bodies, so they began to plan a bigger game of chess, and they let Ruoyun kidnap himself in order to achieve the purpose of extortion.
The cheater said to Ruoyun, if Yun's mobile phone in the virus, can no longer use the phone and the outside world contact. Also ask if Yun will their current social app and other communication tools account password to tell them. During the call, the cheater refused to provide her new mobile phone number to her relatives and friends, and stressed that he was the only one he trusted, and that he was in charge of contact with the outside world, which is equivalent to letting Ruyun cut off all contacts with the outside world.
Ruoyun, who was led by the nose, received an emergency call from the "captain Yan" on the evening of July 1. "he told me to go to a hotel near the school early the next morning and let no one know where I was." Obedient, Ruyun left home early Monday, July 2, with his belongings.
If Yun stayed to the hotel, the cheater began to use QQ video and if Yun to communicate with each other. In the process, under the name of "anti-search warrant," the cheater asked Ruoyun to tie his hands and feet to the camera to "compare with the hostages of the suspects in the case." And this, is the fraud in the social app group sent the so-called "if Yun in my hands" kidnapping photos.
(cheats sent to Ruoyun's father's social app)
Fraud blackmail if the parents failed, through the identity of friends to Ruoyun's social app friends said: if Yun parents have been frustrated, and even be coerced to shoot nude photos, and instigate victims relatives to call Ruoyun parents. At the same time, the cheater demanded that if you read out what the cheater sent to Ruoyun, it is said that the person on the tape said the same thing: "Mom and Dad, help me, I really can't stand it." And recorded the voice of the crook, and then if the content of the recording, sent to the father of the Yun, in order to defraud money.
In the more than 10 hours since Ruyun was "quarantined", and if Yun's parents, relatives and friends were blackmailed in the form of kidnapping cases, after the police received the police report, the police launched a rapid detection and search work. On the 3rd at 2: 00 p.m. The police found Ruoyun in a hotel.
If Yun is found by the police, but the cheater has not yet known, still in extortion fraud. Finally, after being exposed to the scam, the cheater became angry and even despicably posted some of pornography's comments on Ruyun's social app Time line. But that's where it ends.
From 4 to 8, if Yun and father cooperate with the police in carrying out the corresponding transcript work.
Scam analysis, in fact, this kidnapping case is a lot of holes
In order to control Ruoyun to achieve the purpose of fraud, this group of scams arranged by the scam can be described as an eye-catching, meticulous planning. However, the perfect scam, there is also a loophole. Let's go back to the scam and analyze the usual tricks of the cheater:
1. Camouflage as a civil servant
The start of the scam is an official phone call as a civil servant, who often has a sense of obedience. Be careful of all so-called business calls. A liar is most likely to be using your psychological cues to cheat.
2, manipulate psychology, pretend to be "for the victim's sake."
Cheats have been standing on the side of Ruoyun, helping Ruoyun to do all kinds of things, and if Yun is naive and innocent, so he is led by the cheater step by step with his nose, and finally even "kidnaps himself." I went missing on my own.
There are also a lot of innocent and simple girls in the world, and the complex and popular darkness of society is a distant and illusory concept for them. The swindlers were the only ones who caught their simplicity and skilfully played the hearts of the people to trick them into the group.
There are not so many nice people in the world, the more "for your own good", the more suspicious.
3. Cut off the victim's contact with the outside world.
The swindler cut off all contact with the outside world, took control of the social network and reported his whereabouts. It's all about keeping the victim trapped in the lies he's weaving and losing the chance to turn to the outside world for help. Don't cut off your relationship with your parents because of anyone's words.
4. The ultimate goal of the scam is to deceive money.
The ultimate goal of most scams is to deceive money, so there are liars who "deal with public cases" and use Alipay to remit money, requiring proof of financial power in court. These fraud loopholes are intended only to deceive the victim's money.
So no matter what kind of scam, as long as mention accounts and money, should be vigilant.
Recently, more than one case of "virtual kidnapping" such as Ruoyun has been exposed. Reporters learned that since last year, Melbourne has more than a dozen similar cases, a single case involving more than four hundred thousand Australian dollars. In recent months, Adelaide, Melbourne have Chinese students involved in virtual kidnapping fraud cases. Combined with similar cases in North America, Europe and other places, the number of victims is estimated to be hundreds of dollars, which could add up to hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud.
In the Australian state of Victoria, there have been several known cases of such tele-remote "brainwashing" fraud, while victims have not been made public for reasons such as privacy. In response, the Chinese consulate general in Melbourne said the consulate had issued numerous reminders of such cases on the official platform, and had been contacting major universities to inform international students of fraud cases in various ways.
It is because foreign students first leave their hometown, involved in the world is not deep, and lack of awareness of prevention, the cheater has a chance to take advantage of. Today's fraud syndicate fraud is escalating, only their own adequate awareness of security prevention, can not be exploited by fraud. I hope that the victim's experience can give everyone a wake-up alarm, remember the common deception of cheats, away from the bad guys in their hearts.
