Have you been fooled? The latest fraud model nowadays – “Dating and Package Scam”

A new way to make friends? Is this how you meet your friends too?

Have you ever met someone new through dating apps or social platforms? Online dating has become one of the most commonly used channels for making friends in modern society. With just one swipe, you can find all kinds of people you want to meet through the software. If you want to know more, you can add a personal social software account to chat. If you don’t want to, just click delete and everything will be gone. In addition to basic dating software, you can also use IG, FB, Twitter, etc. … express their desire to get to know each other through private messages, and usually their posts have one thing in common, that is, they all have good faces and bodies, which can easily attract people to want to get to know each other more deeply. This seemingly simple and fast way to make friends, unexpectedly, has become a hotbed for fraud groups. They use the weaknesses of human nature to extend a dating and package fraud case…

Fake dating is a real money scam! Have you been cheated?

Many people ask if it is just a matter of making friends, who will be defrauded?

You are wrong! It is true that so many people have been defrauded, because the usual routine of “package fraud” is to first make friends as the most basic purpose, and then use emotions as the entry point to create an image of rich money, a wealthy family, a stable job, a house and a car to gain the trust of the victim. It has to be said that human nature is like this. When you meet a Many people will think that they have met true love if they have a rich partner and their sweet words and warm greetings over three meals a day. And some fraud syndicates are even quite patient and are willing to spend several months chatting to gain trust. Do you think that with this plot trend, people will not believe that they have really met the right person (female)?

When the victim has feelings for the scammer, they then lure him or her with benefits, such as sending expensive gifts to the victim as tokens of love (for example: iPhone, jewelry, money, jewelry…). The victim may be skeptical at first, but they will continue to convince the victim to believe that the victim really likes him and give him his home address and personal contact information. So far, everything seems to be quite normal, because the real part of the fraud is at the end, when they will The package is detained by customs and requires remittance of deposit and handling fee to get it back. The victim is tricked into remitting money to pick up the package and then making up the money to the victim. The victim is also given the logistics company’s contact information. If the victim insists on not paying, the victim may even use the victim’s marriage and family status as a threat or play the sad card to express that this is really his heart. If he does not accept it, he will be really sad. These words are used to defraud the victim’s property. When the money is transferred, of course what will happen to you is that you will disappear and your account will be deleted and blocked. If you are lucky, you may still receive a package, but usually the package will not contain anything valuable…

Real case of dating and package fraud-[Transnational Romance Scam]

Rieter Credit Information Agency has often received relevant similar cases these days, and I would like to share a few cases with you as a warning to everyone. The victim first met this male friend through IG. At first, they chatted like ordinary friends. After getting to know him for a while, he hoped to add a more private chat software (such as LINE, Wechat, Whatsapp…). However, the content of the chat was nothing more than words of concern.

In addition, they may also usually package themselves as rich second generation or successful people to gain further trust from the victims. From the picture below, you can see from their What’sapp chat records that the men will constantly reveal their financial resources and give these gifts to each other.

When the victim decides to accept the gift, he or she falls into the trap of the fraud group. They send the gift to the victim through the shipping company. It seems like a smooth process, but then you will receive a message from the shipping company that the goods are stuck in customs and you need to pay taxes before you can receive the goods. The fraudster will also repeatedly convince you to accept the gifts, saying that these are his intentions. After you pay the bill, you can imagine what will happen. The answer is “all in vain.” Gifts are in vain, love is in vain, only the money you pay is real.

When you encounter this kind of dating and package scam, don’t be too afraid. The fraud syndicate is seizing on everyone’s concern that “the unethical relationship will surface” to defraud your property. I believe that many people will immediately say to call the police when they hear that they have been defrauded. But to be honest, the probability of solving the case after calling the police is really very low. In addition to seeking assistance from the police, it is actually a very good choice for you to seek help from a reputable credit reporting society. In fact, the service items of credit reporting agencies are quite diverse and are not limited to catching rapes, such as “fraud evidence collection”, “whereabouts investigation”, “legal consultation”, etc. As long as the agreement is reached, the investigation can be carried out immediately without waiting for the cumbersome declaration process. The sooner you act, the higher the chance of recovery. When you suspect that you have encountered dating package fraud, it is recommended that you contact “Rieter Credit Information Agency”. They have handled many package fraud cases and are quite experienced in collecting evidence. They also have professional lawyers who can help you recover the property that has been defrauded.
