Chapter 123 Seeing through the scam

The middle-aged man heard the voice on the phone.

He was immediately stunned on the spot.

He couldn't figure out why his daughter could receive his call now.

And he said he was in class.

So if my daughter is really in school now, what is the voice and video I received.

Subsequently.

The middle-aged man confirmed it several times, and finally he felt relieved.

He hung up the phone after saying goodbye to his daughter.

Followed by.

He quickly apologized to Zhou Nan and said, I'm sorry.

He said that he said that because he was too excited before.

Zhou Nan also said that he didn't care. After all, he accepted such a task and had a temporary identity similar to that of a police officer.

So he should bear these things as well.

Then he sat across from the middle-aged man and chatted slowly with him.

Zhou Nan said: "It's okay. Anyone in the situation just now would be a little anxious."

"Can you click on that voice again now and play it for me to listen to?"

Although Zhou Nan had heard the content of the voice before.

But because of the distance, a lot of details are still lost.

So just to be on the safe side, he asked the other party to play a voice message again.

The middle-aged man nodded and quickly followed Zhou Nan's instructions and clicked on the voice message again.

When hearing this voice again.

Middle-aged men still feel a little worried.

Because the woman's voice inside was so much like his daughter that it didn't look fake at all.

When Zhou Nan was halfway through the voice playback, he said: "Pause now."

The middle-aged man heard the words and continued to do so.

"If you listen carefully to this voice, are there some pauses and a little stiffness?"

Zhou Nan said.

After the middle-aged man heard these words, he immediately continued to play the voice, and then he put the mobile phone to his ear.

After calming down and listening carefully for a while.

He discovered that his daughter's voice did have a slight pause in some places.

There is also a hint of electronic music in some places.

Just because. He was too anxious just now, and these details were covered up by the sound of crying, so he didn't notice it before.

Zhou Nan took out his mobile phone again and clicked on a video.

At the top of the video is an AI-synthesized song.

Zhou Nan then explained: "With current AI technology."

"Stop talking."

"As long as there are enough sound samples, AI can also be used to make a singer sing a song that he has never sung before."

"Like this rap song by a certain diva."

The middle-aged man understood what Zhou Nan said when he heard this.

He said: "So this scammer used AI to synthesize my daughter's voice?"

Zhou Nan nodded and continued: "Watch that video carefully again."

"I guess we can also find similarities."

"Obviously the other party is a liar. After collecting relevant information about you, he made this voice and video to ask you to transfer money to him."

"So if you actually transfer the money, then you are considered to have been scammed."

When Zhou Nan said this, he took the middle-aged man's mobile phone and handed it to Wang Maoshi who was standing beside him.

He said: "Now check the mobile phone number associated with this social account." "See if there are any clues."

Wang Maoshi nodded immediately after hearing this, and then used their internal software to check.

soon.

The mobile phone number used to bind the social media account was found.

Wang Maoshi then contacted his colleagues and conducted further inquiries on the mobile phone number.

And as expected.

The scammer did not use his own mobile phone number.

And the ID card information bound to this mobile phone number showed that it was a middle-aged woman in her forties who had died of a heart attack.

After Wang Maoshi got the news, he quickly figured out that the scammer probably bought someone else's WeChat account.

There are many young people who have not been exposed to the dark side of society. After seeing someone willing to spend hundreds of dollars to acquire a WeChat account that they do not use, they will feel that it is a free bargain and sell their account information to the other party.

Others are destitute.

A person who makes a living by working on a daily basis.

Not to mention your own WeChat account.

They even dare to sell their own ID cards.

So those scammers will basically use the purchased WeChat account and those ID cards as disguises, and then commit fraud.

In this case, it will be much more difficult for the police to find them.

And once the transfer is made, it is difficult to recover it.

It can be said that because of their timely discovery, the middle-aged man did not lose the 80,000 yuan.

at this time.

Second way to watch the game and talk.

Because this is a crime science program, after seeing the situation in front of me.

The host and some guests also extended this type of scam to popularize science.

The host said: "I didn't expect that as relevant technologies become more and more developed, some scammers are also keeping pace with the times."

"Those methods were used."

"And under the circumstances, I didn't realize at all that this speech was actually synthesized using AI."

"And this video is really real."

"It can be said that the methods of scammers nowadays are really hard to detect."

After hearing what the host said, Hu Yaochuan. He continued to add: "That's true, so no matter how urgent it is, you have to call to confirm before transferring money."

"Once the money reaches the scammers' accounts, they will go through several transfers and then transfer the money to overseas accounts."

"In this case, it would be extremely difficult to get the money back."

Hu Yaochuan paused here, and then he continued: "And there is another kind of deception that uses the leakage of the victim's information to defraud."

“I don’t know if you have ever met some people who strike up a conversation with you on the road. Those people will give you various reasons. Some of them will say that they barely have enough money to buy a ticket home. Some of them will say that their family members are in the hospital and they are sick. Some money needs to be transferred.”

"But he doesn't have enough money on his phone."

"I need you to transfer a few dollars to him and let him collect the money."

After Hu Yaochuan finished speaking.

The host still didn't understand.

He said: "Just to defraud a few dollars?"

Hu Yaochuan shook his head: "Of course it's not for these few dollars. Even those scammers will tell you that he is willing to give you ten dollars, and you only need to transfer him seven or eight dollars."

"There will be many people willing to help at this time."

"But the payment codes that those scammers came up with were not the payment codes of regular payment software."

"After scanning the QR code, you will enter a payment interface."

"This interface will ask you to fill in various information before you can transfer money."

"Information such as name, ID card, mobile phone number, payment password, etc."

"Once you enter it, the information will be recorded, and then the scammers will use this information to commit fraud."
