Criminals usually commit crimes in different places, cheat in different places and withdraw money in different places. If you cheat the public, you usually make a phone call from other places, or use a mobile phone from other places to make a local call. Most criminals come from the same area and have a strong sense of "covering" each other.

Criminals often pretend to be relatives, classmates or friends of the victims and cheat the trust of the victims through rhetoric. The general process is to call the victim first and let the victim "guess who I am?" If the victim says "I really can't remember", the suspect will say "You have forgotten me, so forget it"; If the victim "suddenly realizes" and says "Oh, who are you?", the suspect will say "Yes, you finally remember" and then say that he will visit each other and get a good impression. In the next day or two, he will make up lies about accidents on the road, being kidnapped, being caught whoring or having a mistress, and ask the victim to remit money to the designated account.

This kind of fraud mainly swindles company bosses and senior officials, or randomly dials the phone number of a certain number segment, and some mobile phone holders with more serial numbers or numbers ending in lucky numbers, such as 888, 666, 168.
