据杭州日报,2月4日下午,杭州公安接到王女士报警。王女士说:“我被骗了600万元,钱转出去快3小时了”。

Six million yuan defrauded from a Hangzhou businesswoman was fully recovered after police intercepted nearly 5.9 kilograms of gold moments before it was due to be collected, authorities said.

原来,从事外贸生意的王女士,常用WhatsApp与客户联系。就在前一天,她收到一条“账户异常需验证”的信息,未加细想便点击通过,这实则是骗子异地登录其账号的“授权验证”。

Wang, who works in foreign trade, received a WhatsApp message claiming that her account required verification. After approving the request, she unwittingly granted scammers remote access to her account.

登录后骗子迅速分析聊天记录,锁定与其资金往来密切的好友“小芳”,并完成了一场“偷梁换柱”,删掉真小芳,添加假冒账号,头像、备注一模一样。

次日,假“小芳”以生意周转为由,紧急借款600万元。王女士原本想通过语音通话核实,对方却挂断,随即发来数条语音,声音与好友极为相似,王女士便放松警惕,将钱转至对方提供的某公司账户。

The scammers reviewed her chat history, impersonated a close business contact and requested an urgent loan of 6 million yuan. Voice messages that closely resembled her friend's voice convinced Wang to transfer the money to a company account provided by the fraudsters.

直到真小芳因WhatsApp发信息联系不上她,而直接语音来电显示成了陌生号码,王女士才如梦初醒,赶紧报警,而此时距离转账已过去3小时。

The scam was uncovered when the real friend contacted Wang. Wang immediately alerted police, by which time about three hours had passed since the transfer.

金额巨大,时间紧迫。接到报警后,杭州市与上城区两级反诈中心立即启动紧急处置机制,资金流向显示600万元经多层流转,已进入外地某公司账户,极可能已被用于购买黄金。

警方迅速联动厦门、深圳两地,最终在深圳一黄金店铺,将已打包的5900克黄金成功拦截。

Police tracked the flow of funds and discovered they were being used to purchase gold in Shenzhen, Guangdong province. Officers rushed to a gold store, halted the collection and seized 5.9 kilograms of gold, arresting the suspect at the scene.

现场柜员说,“再晚10分钟,金条就被提走了”。随后,前来取金的犯罪嫌疑人被当场抓获。

王女士的600万元损失被全额追回。被截获的5900克黄金,估值670余万元,远超王女士汇出的600万元。

据调查,这笔“增值”并非黄金升值导致,而是有其他受害人的资金汇入。

目前,杭州警方已将价值600万元的黄金返还到王女士手中,其余黄金将返还给其他受害人。

The seized gold was valued at more than 6.7 million yuan, exceeding Wang's transfer because money from other victims had also been pooled into the same purchase. Authorities said losses suffered by all victims have been recovered.
