People always underestimate their own desires and overestimate their control over them, that’s human nature.
In 2019, Liu Mingle, a 27-year-old girl, met Feng Yuzhe through a social networking platform and thought she had found her “Mr. Right. But only a few months later, she became an “anti-Internet fraud alliance”.
In gender relationships, there is a group of people who call themselves “pigs” and the other side corresponds to “Butcher”. The form of online dating to establish intimate relationships, commonly known as “piggybacking”. Then by putting a long line to induce false investment in finance, called “doing the game”. The longer the “pig” is raised, the harder the fraud is. And experience a love “kill the pig plate”, often ending up with two empty.
01 Imperfect “pigs”
More than a year ago, caught in a professional position as well as the city limits no good dating environment, single for a period of Time Liu Mingle hope to expand the circle of friends with the help of online dating, so she met Feng Yuzhe on a well-known dating site. The two feel good after normal communication through the dating software, Feng to WeChat communication more timely and convenient on the grounds that proposed to add friends.
“I was actually wary at first”, Liu Mingle stressed several times, but Feng’s strategy made her fall into it step by step. The two chatting process, Feng will be based on Liu revealed the selection of spouse criteria “the right Medicine“, including daily warmth, in the circle of friends to send some work dynamics, sunshine as a child The two of them chatted, and Feng would “prescribe” according to Liu’s revealed criteria for a mate, including daily warmth, work updates in her friends circle, and photos of her childhood, making her feel as if the other party was the one.
In Liu Mingle’s eyes, Feng is a “poor man” who has had failed relationship experiences, but also a “successful businessman” who can invest. The two of them communicated with each other. The two communicate, Feng always intentionally or unintentionally mention how much money they have made on the online platform investment. In one chat, Feng claimed that he wanted to do something meaningful with her, and that was to take her to make money. “At that time, I had some internal refusal, but he would repeatedly pressure me with the reason of ‘is not trust me “.
At first, Liu Mingle only needed to invest a few hundred, and Feng then took her to earn more than six hundred and successfully withdraw her money. Then Feng Yuzhe mentioned that the platform recently had a bonus activity, let Liu Mingle put in thirty thousand pieces, himself put in fifty-two thousand, and then earn a little more. I admit that I do want to earn more, so I listened to him and invested tens of thousands of dollars into the platform”, this time, Liu Mingle lost all.
At this point, Feng Yuzhe showed a lot of guilt in his words and apologized for the failure of the investment. Liu Mingle had raised the hope that the two can meet, but the other party to “no face to see people”, business trips or no time and other reasons to shirk, must win back the money to meet. Liu Mingle said he really had no money, “he advised me to go to borrow money, Jingdong and other platforms to borrow money. And said this behavior is ‘borrowing money to produce money, borrowing chicken to produce eggs’, and said my pattern is too small.”
Out of the mindset of wanting to meet and turn a loss into a profit, Liu Mingle borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from the online lending platform to invest. At this time, the “investment platform” shows that her profit number exceeded 100,000, but Feng took the opportunity to say that continue to recharge can get more money, and can enter the The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services. Then, she lent more than 100,000 through credit cards, and the final result was a “total loss”.
Liu Mingle, who was already close to 600,000 in debt, said she couldn’t continue, but she didn’t get the slightest comfort this time and also found out that Feng was missing. In the end, she chose to call the police and sold the property under her name and borrowed money from her Parents to slowly pay off her debts.
02 The perfect “butcher”
Liu Mingle’s experience is not an isolated case, and then as the victim Li Qing self-reported, he met someone named Zhang Hao on Tan Tan in 2018. He packaged himself as a successful person, claiming to be in finance and driving a Maserati. He has properties in Jinan and Guangzhou. Pretended to get along without gestures, all kinds of ingratiation and condescension.”
Li Qing then also fell into a similar encounter with Liu Mingle, Zhang Hao began to share his method of earning money, taking feelings as a lure, so that Li Qing successively invested nearly 200,000 in a so-called official platform under Tencent. In fact, this “Zhang Hao” belongs to the Philippines Manila to do The company is a member of the “piggy bank” gambling scam in Manila, Philippines.
In such a vivid case, the victim may not be perfect, but the “butcher” must be perfect, it is all just a carefully packaged persona. The victim may not be perfect, but the “butcher” must be perfect. In retrospect, Liu Mingle will feel that the scam was a very clumsy trick. Sometimes victims think they are dealing with a person, but they do not know that behind him may be hidden a sophisticated criminal gang.
A long time ago, there was a specific “pig killing plate fraud process” circulating on the internet, divided into three steps: finding pigs, raising pigs and killing pigs. In the process of “finding pigs”, it is necessary to determine the target portrait and platform. In the pigging process, the fraudsters will carry out self-packaging, generally portrayed as physically and mentally healthy, successful career, eager for love and considerate and loving image, and take measures to create awareness, flirtation and determine the relationship with the victim. Finally, in technical support, set up bloodletting, induced to delete evidence, pull black delete, change account and other initiatives to complete the “kill pig”.
The “love killing plate” is not new, but is actually a typical The “telecom fraud”, the purpose of love, the use of false investment and financial trading platform, the embezzlement of the victim’s money. But why is such a scam is repeatedly prohibited?
Zhejiang Xiaode Law Firm Chen Wenming lawyer explained to Sina Finance that it is difficult to combat this type of crime cases, mainly related to the own characteristics of this type of fraud, including the continuous renovation of fraudulent means; the spread of criminal activities is relatively large, the development is very rapid; gang work, anti-investigation ability is very strong; transnational cross-border crime is more prominent. “There is a certain degree of difficulty in tracking down clues, investigating and collecting evidence, controlling stolen money, arresting suspects and coordinating work. “
03 Please learn to give yourself candy
Such difficulties are not unknown to the victims. After months of being cheated, Liu Mingle opened an account on a social networking platform and became an “anti-Internet scammer”. She recorded her complete “pigging out” process through voice video, and analyzed and reflected on it. In the comments, she would advise those who hesitate to call the police, questioning the role of the police victims, “the police may not necessarily be able to recover (money), but it is the only thing we can do “.
Looking through the comments, one can see that there are few victims with similar experiences to hers, but not many like her have received support from their families to successfully pay off their debts and return to their normal lives. More victims face lack of understanding from Family and friends, ridicule from strangers and large debts that do not match their income. In addition, they are at risk of being targeted by “secondary fraud” gangs, who will help them recover their lost money in the name of being scammed again. In such a situation, they are worried about raising money to pay off their debts, while they are trapped in the complex emotions of pain, self-blame and fear of being cheated.
According to incomplete statistics, in 2019, similar cases of “mutual dating” and “online dating” were reported. “In 2020, 31% of such frauds were reported by men and 69% by women. According to statistical analysis by the public security authorities based on big data, the victimization group is young, mainly concentrated in the age of 20-29.
In the eyes of the general public, these victims are easily labeled as “stupid”, “silly” and “foolish”. “stupid” and “greedy In the eyes of ordinary people, these victims are easily labeled as “stupid,” “foolish” and “greedy,” but in the opinion of Xu Li, founder of Geunli Psychology, “lack of love and low self-esteem” are their major commonalities.
Xu Li analyzed to Sina Finance that, from the reports, we can know that almost every victim has a heartbreaking story. Having been neglected, unrecognized and unappreciated growing up, they finally found a possibility to give themselves attention and warmth, and their lives were sparked with great hope. An atmosphere that does not quite encourage a confident upbringing will also make the victim afraid to refuse, repeatedly pleasing the other party and eventually being cheated.
From an emotional point of view, Xu Li suggests that everyone can learn to please and take care of themselves first, and give themselves “sugar”. In addition, you can accumulate positive comments to enhance your sense of self-worth. For example, in your work Life, every time you get a recognition from others, or you feel a breakthrough, you can record it. When you have improved your evaluation of yourself, you have the ability to give candy to others. “
From the legal point of view, Chen Wenming, a lawyer, suggested that the main thing is to enhance the awareness of prevention, set up the correct financial views and values, to eliminate the “low investment, high return” mentality. Do not be confused by the temporary high interest rates; do not trust the information released by strangers on the Internet platform to recommend shares, release insider information and so on; do not easily download strangers recommended by the financial platform can not verify whether legal compliance; do not transfer money to unfamiliar public and personal accounts. “encountered a similar fraud, found in time to call the police and collect good evidence, do not take a chance to continue to invest money into the platform. “
Nowadays, more and more people choose to speak like Liu Mingle in the social platform to say they encountered the “killed pig” experience, some dare not reveal the status quo to family and friends of the victims In the platform to comfort each other for warmth. Some people even scroll through daily posts about the “butcher’s” usual photos, routines and tactics, hoping that those who see them will stay away from them completely. The “love killing plate”.
“People always underestimate their own desires and overestimate their control over them, that’s human nature,” Liu Mingle said in the post he shared, cautioning his past self with these words, and also In the post shared by Liu Mingle, he cautions his past self and also the potential next victim.
