Recently, a large number of fraud cases using "hooking up" as bait have appeared on the Internet. Taking a police station in Nan'an as an example, there have been many cases where victims have been defrauded of a large amount of property by downloading the "hooking up " APP. In case one, Wu downloaded the "hooking up" APP through his mobile phone, but received a call from the customer service after registration. The other party said that Wu needed to complete the merchant's data click to activate the "hooking up" card, and introduced the order-brushing task for rebates. After Wu successfully operated three times, he was asked to transfer money to do the remedial task, and was eventually defrauded of 492,000 yuan. In case two, Yang also participated in the task through the "hooking up" APP and successfully withdrew three times, but after completing the fourth task, the other party failed to withdraw cash on the grounds of account abnormality, and Yang realized that he had been deceived. He was defrauded of a total of 135,340 yuan. There are other similar cases, such as cases three and four involving Li and Wang respectively.
