How was the seller cheated of 3000 yuan after receiving the transfer message?

It is reported that Xiao Wu has opened a shop online, which specializes in selling office supplies. A few days ago, a buyer contacted her and said that she wanted to buy some office supplies.

When the two parties negotiated the transaction and prepared to place an order, the other party proposed to change the payment method. "He said that the company's Alipay account has no extra funds to pay because it has exceeded the payment limit."

The other party explained that the company's billing process must go through Alipay, and proposed to remit the payment to Xiao Wu's bank card through bank card transfer, and then Xiao Wu transferred the money to Alipay, and then placed an order for payment.

Although the process was troublesome, in order to do business, Xiao Wu agreed and sent his bank card and mobile phone number to the other party.

Not long after, Xiao Wu received a short message from the bank on her mobile phone, reminding her that she had received the remittance from 500 yuan in her account. Immediately, the other party sent a message saying that the down payment had been transferred to Xiao Wu's card and sent her a screenshot of the "transfer voucher".

Seeing this, Xiao Wu had no doubt and immediately transferred 500 yuan's money to the other Alipay account. After that, the other party made a second "transfer" in the same way, with an amount of 2,500 yuan. This time, Xiao Wu also received a SMS reminder on her mobile phone, and she immediately transferred the money to the other party.

The money has arrived, but the other party has never placed an order for payment. Xiao Wu has doubts in his heart. Xiao Wu checked his bank card records and found that he did not receive the other party's money on the card. "I contacted him again and said that I didn't receive the money. He said it had been transferred. It takes time for the money to arrive, and then I can't contact him. "

At this point, Xiao Wu realized that he had been cheated. SMS and voucher screenshots were all fraudulent means used by the other party to fool her.

The police reminded the majority of sellers: don't let your guard down because you are eager to make business. Anyone who asks for a bank card account number must refuse. Now some software can make fake reminder messages and transfer screenshots, so when transferring money, you must first check whether your bank account has received the relevant money to avoid being cheated.
