Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Justice: Beware of Fake "Food Tasting Cards" Scam, Criminals Settle Proceeds of Crime Using Virtual Currency
BlockBeats News, on January 7, the Shanghai Judicial Bureau official WeChat account announced that a new type of scam that uses fake "food tasting cards" to redirect victims to telecommunications fraud schemes has appeared in multiple regions across the country. The scam involves fraudsters distributing counterfeit supermarket "food tasting cards" to entice victims to scan a QR code and join a so-called "benefits group," where they then carry out fund transfer rebate fraud. The Shandong police have cracked down on multiple related cases, arresting several criminal suspects. According to the investigation, the criminals used overseas communication software to communicate with their superiors, and settled the illicit proceeds through cryptocurrency, making it highly clandestine. The police remind the public that this type of fraud is highly deceptive, and the public should remain vigilant, not scan QR codes of unknown origin, not disclose personal information to unfamiliar platforms, and avoid financial losses.
