People often call old mobile phones washbasins in the street. What are the conditions?

In the information age, almost everyone has a mobile phone. In recent years, China has become the world's largest producer and consumer of smart phones. With the increasing consumption of mobile phones, a large number of discarded mobile phones have emerged. In China, mobile phone recycling is a blue ocean market, and the market scale may reach 200 billion. The largest electronic product recycling and trade-in platform "Love Recycling" operation center was born in Shanghai. It is reported that nearly 654.38 billion used mobile phones have been deposited in China. For these functional machines and smart phones that can no longer be used, some people shout to replace old mobile phones with washbasins and so on, so we should handle them carefully. Actually, there's something fishy about it.

Old mobile phones are "recycled", shoddy and even fake, and flow into the market.

After the operation center completes a series of processes such as inspection and bidding, the used mobile phones are distributed to downstream recycling enterprises for further operations such as disassembly or reuse.

It has been reported that in 20 18, the recovery rate of used mobile phones in China was less than 2%, and only a small part of the recovered old mobile phones entered formal dismantling enterprises, and most of them went to illegal small workshops.

The recycled used mobile phones are qualitatively classified, treated and packaged by certain technical means, and continue to flow into the market for trading. The goods are not right, and the price is different. It seems reasonable, but it actually disturbs the market order and also causes complaints from mobile phone users to manufacturers.

Second-hand mobile phones are a huge "resource pool"

According to some data, the market of used mobile phones in China is very huge, with about 1 100 million mobile phones handled each year, with a total weight of 1 10,000 tons.

It is conceivable that if all the old mobile phones are recycled, nearly 1.5 million kilograms of gold, 1.5 million kilograms of copper and 30,000 kilograms of silver can be extracted. Needless to say, this is also a huge "resource pool".

Stealing personal information from second-hand mobile phones

It is very important to correctly handle the previous functional mobile phones and retired 2G and 3G mobile phones, because all kinds of online shopping αpp, bank app, traffic αpp and so on. , commonly used, complete record ID card, home address, family members, bank card information, personal interests and hobbies, etc. Through a mobile phone, you can basically give the owner a complete portrait. The information revealed by this portrait has completely surpassed our own understanding of ourselves to some extent.

When dealing with used mobile phones, be sure to uninstall and delete all kinds of apps including personal information; Delete confidential information such as videos and pictures; After the factory date is restored, some expensive mobile phones can be put on second-hand websites to sell for a "good price"; If the price is low and privacy has been treated, you can change a washbasin or scissors, which is better than keeping it.

Usually idle at home, I can always hear all kinds of vendors selling in the alley. Replacing an old mobile phone with a washbasin and a kitchen knife is a common one. Why do they exchange kitchen knives and washbasins for old mobile phones?

The first is to extract precious metals such as gold. Even the broken old mobile phone can still use the internal hardware. A ton of old mobile phones can extract about 250g of gold, 3kg of silver and100kg of copper.

Moreover, through mining, one ton of gold ore can also produce 15-20g of gold, which is thankless. It is better to collect old mobile phones.

Secondly, many internal parts can still be used after the old mobile phone is disassembled. Usually we go to a physical store to repair our mobile phone, and most of the screen screws and cameras we use are removed from the old mobile phone.

There is also the purpose of stealing personal information. Some people with ulterior motives, after recycling old mobile phones, use technology to export personal privacy in their mobile phones and then sell them online.

This is one of the reasons why we are sometimes harassed by text messages. Laundry balls and kitchen knives are not worth much. After exchanging with the old mobile phone, it can bring such great benefits.

After you sell your old mobile phone in the future, you must format it several times to ensure that there is no personal information and privacy before changing it.

1: Ask for personal information, address book, photo album, etc. Some of these formats are useless. It is possible to restore them through software and then sell them to some people who need personal information.

2. There are also fraudulent phone calls, such as whose friend you are, the kind that needs to transfer money, and some of them are like this.

3. You can also look at whether the mobile phone can be refurbished according to the dilapidated degree, and sell it as a second-hand mobile phone if possible. Department, renovation, take apart the battery and the components inside the motherboard. Some can provide copper, and some are said to provide gold, so there is a profit.

Personally, don't sell mobile phones, even if no one uses them.

Some valuable ones will be refurbished and disassembled, but they will not be refurbished, and the detachable parts will extract rare metals from them. A lot of people say there is gold in it. I think I really think too much. It may have contained gold a long time ago because there was no substitute metal at that time. There is also a case of illegally reading the information in the mobile phone and selling the information and other privacy inside!

It was known 20 years ago that they used this method to obtain personal information and then sold it.

I took the phone apart and burned it inside. I'm installing a changing pot and bowl.

At a small cost, in exchange for big gains.

There is gold in the mobile phone, including other electronic hardware. After being replaced, they will be processed to extract gold. Gold is more expensive than stainless steel washbasin.

There must be something fishy.

① Collect information.

Use technical means to recover the information in the mobile phone, collect more information and sell personal information for profit.

② Waste utilization.

If the second-hand price of the mobile phone is ok, it can be repaired and refurbished for sale after repair. If it can't be repaired, it will be used to disassemble useful accessories.

③ Refining precious metals.

The mobile phone is in the hands of individuals. Even knowing that gold can be refined, there is nothing I can do. Without technology and equipment, the extracted gold is pitiful and unworkable.

However, after many a mickle makes a mickle, it will be a big business for "professionals".

By the way, many people who collect old mobile phones will shout under the banner of "for the environment, for the cause of environmental protection", which sounds awkward, as if taking them away will not pollute the environment! ! !
