In the bustling streets, if you encounter a pitiful intern student who cannot achieve their goals, a merchant who drives a luxury car to sell discounted high-end tea, or an elderly person who urgently needs to exchange goods for money and earnestly sells their collection to you, will you be moved and easily agree to their request? The situation described in the preface is likely a typical street fraud routine, where criminals use phrases such as "seeking help" and "reselling at a low price" to sell inferior goods to the public. Due to their covert and varied methods of committing crimes, and the fact that many of the involved individuals appear in the form of gangs, the public is easily deterred and may be deceived, resulting in property losses. In response to this, the Beijing police have always adopted a "zero tolerance" attitude towards street fraud and illegal activities, digging behind the scenes, ending dens, and breaking chains, making every effort to ensure that cases are quickly investigated and solved, and firmly safeguarding the safety of public property. Recently, the Beijing police reported three typical cases. Mr. Li, a Beijing resident, met two men driving Mercedes Benz cars selling tea in a hotel parking lot. The two claimed to be tea merchants participating in the expo. They planned to sell some high-end tea at a low price, with the original price of 1000 yuan per box and the current price of 200 yuan. Mr. Li thought the packaging was exquisite and the price was reasonable, so he bought 5 boxes. After opening it at home, I found that the tea bag was rough and had a strong odor. After inquiring with friends in the industry, I learned that it was inferior tea. After receiving the clue, the police immediately launched an investigation and successfully arrested 7 suspects including Liu. After investigation, Liu and others wore counterfeit branded clothing and watches, and purchased or rented second-hand high-end cars to disguise themselves as tea merchants. They went to exhibitions and high-end hotel areas multiple times, packaging inferior tea leaves as high-end tea, and conducting so-called discount sales to passersby to commit fraud. At present, the seven individuals mentioned above have been criminally detained by the Beijing police on suspicion of fraud. Intern student selling signature pens seeking help to boost sales performance Xiao Zhang arrived in Beijing from another city. As soon as he got off the train, he met two "students" who claimed to be interning at a certain company and approached him, pleading for his help in purchasing a set of signature pens to achieve sales performance. The money would be refunded afterwards. Out of sympathy, Xiao Zhang purchased a set and was surrounded by six other people before leaving to help complete the performance and sell it back afterwards. Xiao Zhang spent a total of 8000 yuan to purchase multiple sets of signature pens from them. When Xiao Zhang requested a refund, the other party denied it. Xiao Zhang then realized that he had been deceived and called the police for help. After investigation, it was found that the pen sellers were actually a fraud gang that had fled across regions to commit crimes. As they had all left Beijing, the police immediately went to many parts of the country to arrest 8 suspects and seized items such as signature pens and speech manuals involved in the case. At present, the above 8 people have been criminally detained by the Beijing police on suspicion of fraud. Mr. Chen, a resident of Beijing, was on his way to the supermarket to buy groceries when he saw an elderly man setting up a stall selling a set of collector's edition stamp albums for 4800 yuan. He was interested and approached to inquire about the price. The elderly person introduced that this stamp album has a low stock and high collection value. Due to family changes, it is now only sold at a very low price of 4800 yuan. At this time, two passersby came up to the booth and said that these stamps are real. Mr. Chen believed it to be true and paid 4800 yuan on the spot to purchase a stamp album. After arriving home, Mr. Chen found that the stamp had heavy printing marks and suspected that he had been deceived, so he called the police. After being appraised by a specialized agency, the so-called collector's edition stamps were found to be counterfeit products. Based on the clues provided by Mr. Chen, the police arrested three suspects led by Mr. Chang through extensive visits and verification work. After investigation, it was found that the three individuals had clear division of labor. One person set up a stall to sell fake philatelic albums, while the other two acted as passersby to "help". The philatelic albums sold were counterfeit products purchased at a low price. At present, the three individuals mentioned above have been criminally detained by the Beijing police on suspicion of fraud. Police Reminder 1: Be wary of strangers initiating conversations. If you encounter strangers actively approaching or claiming to be "intern students" or "people in difficult living conditions" promoting products on the street, be vigilant, do not believe or blindly follow, and avoid falling into fraud traps. 2. Be wary of the temptation of low price promotions and remember that "pies never fall from the sky". When faced with temptations such as "clearing inventory at ultra-low prices", "selling luxury goods at low prices", and "high rebates", maintain rational judgment and do not suffer significant losses due to greed for small profits. Please purchase goods through legitimate channels. 3. If you discover that you have been deceived, immediately report to the police. Once you discover that you have been deceived, keep relevant evidence and call 110 to report to the police. Try to provide key information such as the suspect's appearance, clothing, and tools used in the crime to assist the police in conducting timely investigations and maximizing the recovery of losses.
