recently, mr. luo, a resident of changsha, received a document called "rural revitalization", which claimed that by scanning the qr code in the manual and joining the group chat, he would be eligible to receive a poverty alleviation subsidy of 1.5 million yuan. with a try-it-out mentality, mr. luo scanned the qr code and joined a wechat group called "multi-village revitalization subsidy distribution". in the group, he saw screenshots of other people successfully receiving subsidies, which made him excited. under the guidance of the "customer service", mr. luo downloaded an app called "rural revitalization" and was told that he could participate in the "subsidy project" as long as he completed the account authentication and paid a 30,000 yuan activation fee. however, after mr. luo completed the operation and paid the fee, the customer service asked him to pay another 50,000 yuan in unfreezing funds on the grounds that the account authentication information was filled in incorrectly.

mr. luo noticed something was wrong and immediately called the police. the case is under further investigation. judging from mr. luo's situation, the fraudsters took advantage of the hot topic of rural revitalization and national policies, forged "red-headed documents" and mailed them to the victims, tricking them into scanning the code to join the group. the fraudsters posted false subsidy information in the group, inducing the victims to download fake apps to complete account authentication and pay activation fees to commit fraud.

the scam works by taking advantage of people's attention to national policies and poverty alleviation subsidies to create a sense of trust and guide victims to take action.

the police remind people to remain vigilant when receiving unfamiliar express deliveries, and not to scan or click on unfamiliar qr codes or links at will, and not to download apps of unknown origin, so as not to fall into the trap of scammers.

in terms of "policy" documents, you must call the relevant departments to verify from the official platform, and do not trust unofficial reports on the internet. scammers often ask victims to transfer money to designated accounts under the pretext of "paying back personal income tax", "repairing credit", "verifying identity", etc., claiming that they need to advance funds before they can "issue subsidies" or "refund fees" later. anyone who uses such rhetoric is definitely a scam!

if you encounter a situation that you cannot judge or are accidentally cheated, please call the police immediately!
