02. The fraudster provided the contact information of the so-called "manufacturer" to the victim, and claimed that he was in conflict with the "manufacturer" and it was not convenient to order directly from the "manufacturer" and asked the merchant to purchase goods from the "manufacturer" on his behalf.
03. When the merchant contacted the "manufacturer", the "manufacturer" defrauded the merchant of money on the grounds of charging a "down payment".
Police reminder
The general public, especially the shops.
Military personnel will follow strict written procedures when purchasing materials.
Never trust unfamiliar telephone contact and remittance transfer information.
meanwhile
Government agencies will not require stores to pay a deposit in advance.
There is no need to pay any fees.
Any advance payment requirements
It may all be fraud!
In the previous deception, the suspect pretended to be a soldier, a firefighter or a school leader to contact the victim, put forward the demand for purchasing tents, beds, sports facilities and other materials, and told the victim the phone number of the supplier of such items, and then another accomplice acted as the supplier, so that the victim could get the money first.
This kind of fraud is actually posing as a police shopping fraud. The so-called "maker" here is actually the liar himself or his accomplices.
