A Tsinghua University graduate fell victim to telecom fraud for nearly 45 days: induced to purchase virtual currency and transfer funds, placed under 24-hour surveillance

Odaily News: Shi Moumou, a Tsinghua University graduate, encountered telecom fraud while studying abroad. The scammers impersonated cyber police and Interpol to induce him to cooperate with a so-called investigation. The fraud process lasted nearly 45 days, during which he was under 24-hour surveillance. During this period, the scammers induced Shi Moumou to purchase virtual currency and transfer it to designated accounts, and also demanded that he defraud his family of funds for the so-called case handling. He reminded the public to read more anti-fraud publicity materials and take them seriously, as those involved are blind to the trap; scammers exploit time gaps and information asymmetry to set up precise traps.
