The storm of electronic fraud, the day I was deceived into northern Myanmar

On the third day after A Niu’s wedding, Hu Laosan called us over for a meeting.

The people present were Jia Wenmin, Dog King, me and A Niu.

Still at his place, eating lunch and talking about things.

The dishes on the table are still rich, but I have no appetite.

Hu Laosan sat at one end of the dining table, frowning from time to time, as if something was not going well for him.

There is a dull atmosphere in the air.

Hu Laosan put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat, and said, "I'll be leaving soon, and I might go to Malaysia this time."

"Third brother, what are you doing in Malaysia? Do you have new business there?" Jia Wenmin asked with a smile.

Hu Laosan pinched the bridge of his nose: "Let me tell you about this in advance. I am going there to pick up people this time. Someone will come to the park later."

"I want Third Brother to pick him up in person? Who is so proud?"

"The son of a shareholder got into trouble there and asked me to bring him here to stay for a while."

Jia Wenmin smiled and said, "They really use the park as a shelter?"

The Dog King said indignantly: "What the hell, what kind of bastard son, do you still have to ask Third Brother to pick him up? Can't you just find someone to send him over?"

"Okay." Hu Laosan glanced at the Dog King, "This time, pick him up. When you get back to the park, you all should pay attention to me."

"Third brother, I'm not a fucking nanny. Don't leave people to me when the time comes." The Dog King said, "I can only take care of dogs, not people."

Jia Wenmin smiled angrily and said: "You really can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Did the third brother say that he will be handed over to you? Besides, the prince came for a private visit in disguise. You are not qualified to take care of me." Woolen cloth."

"Tch, what a bullshit prince. I think he is the second generation ancestor who is just waiting to die."

A Niu interjected: "Third brother, if you need me to do anything at that time, just ask me, I'll be fine."

Seeing that everyone was expressing their opinions, I didn't interrupt.

Hu Laosan sighed: "We'll wait until someone takes over. You guys should do the things at hand first. A Niu, you just took over Area C, and many things need to be re-planned. I'll give you a two-month buffer period." . Go back and improve your performance."

"Don't worry, third brother! In less than two months, at most a month, I can stabilize Area C." A Niu said with confidence.

"Old dog, and you, you are at the bottom of District D every year. If you don't improve your performance this year, you won't be a manager anymore, just go back and raise dogs."

"Really?" The dog king was delighted.

Hearing his answer, if it weren't for Hu Laosan's face, I think everyone present would laugh.

"I said fuck you!" Hu Laosan cursed with hatred, "Are you a candle? Did you have an operation on your head and move it to your butt?"

The Dog King came back to his senses and pursed his lips: "Third brother, I understand, and I will do a good job."

Finally, Hu Laosan looked at me: "And you, Yang Lei, I won't tell you more. You should meet the performance goals I set by the end of the year. I will give you whatever you want."

"Okay, third brother!"

Finally, his eyes rested on each of us one by one, and he glanced around everyone: "Okay, I'm not in the park on weekdays. You have to take care of each other and don't cause anything else to happen to me."

"Understood, third brother."

……

As soon as Hu Laosan walked over, the park was just like before.

I was not idle, but put all my thoughts on "Easy Coins" and came up with several new ways to attract people.

In addition, I established a new technical department and merged the programmers assigned to me by A Dao with several original technologies.

In addition, I found a few more enthusiastic dogs and asked them to learn programming.

Fraud patterns are ever-changing, but the most fundamental one is technology.

Recently, Zhou Yang told me about a new technology, and now I am also asking people to develop it.

This technology is called deepfakes in English, and when translated into Chinese, it means AI face-changing.

This technology was used in movie scenes before, but now it has developed so fast that it has become real.

Zhou Yang obtained the underlying source code of this technology from the dark web and demonstrated it to me.

I am extremely interested in this technology now, so I have a few programmers working on it.

Think about it, if this technology can make the fake look real, then you can fabricate the image of a character by opening a video.

For example, a certain dog tweet, her image is "white, rich and beautiful", she posts selfies of herself in the circle of friends every day, and suddenly one day she asks you to invest.

There will be some resistance to it more or less, but if she makes a video call to you, you can see her face and chat with you about some family issues.

At this time, your trust in her will skyrocket, and when she asks you to invest again, you will automatically trust her.

Even more crudely, they can put celebrities' faces on them, make video calls with their fans, and commit fraud. This kind of success rate is not low.

When we first arrived at the park, the superiors gave us training and told us many cases.

At that time, I was thinking, how could such a simple deception possibly deceive people?

It wasn’t until later that I realized that no matter how simple the deception is, some people will fall for it.

It’s not that people who are deceived are stupid, but that many of them have never experienced it.

From a psychological perspective, people tend to lose their rational judgment easily when faced with unknown and tense situations.

This is exactly what scammers take advantage of. Their carefully designed scenarios and words are designed to exploit people's fear, greed, or sympathy to achieve their goals.

The essence of electronic fraud does not lie in how clever the deception itself is, but in that it targets the most vulnerable part of human nature.

When people face urgent problems, they often have a glimmer of hope. At this time, even the simplest deception can become extremely effective.

Take a common scam as an example: "family disk".

In this kind of scam, the scammer usually pretends to be a relative or friend of the victim, claiming that he has encountered an urgent difficulty, such as a traffic accident or urgent need for surgery.

At this time, the scammer will ask the victim for help in an extremely real tone and emotion, and will even imitate the language habits and accent that the victim is familiar with, making the whole scene appear more real and believable.

In this case, the victim often loses the ability to reasonably judge information due to strong family affection and sudden emergency situations.

In a state of nervousness and anxiety, they are more likely to trust the voice on the other end of the phone and rush to transfer or remit money.

In fact, they are not really stupid or gullible, but react instinctively, driven by strong emotional impact and sense of urgency.

After all, the true essence of fraud is to take advantage of human nature...
