Chapter 5 Top-up Scams
Smile like a flower, flower like a rose, this is the street of the Guangzhou night market at nine o'clock in the evening, Zhu Jiujiu's smile blooms like a white rose in the night, after sending Yang Zhi to the train back to Jinzhong, the two walked on the street, unconsciously, they came to the noisy night market street, although there are some simple and rough small commodities between the eyes, but the girl's nature of like shopping still blooms at this moment, which really makes He Qitou as big as a bucket, but half an hour, his hands are full of large and small packages.
"Look, there is a call bill!" Zhu Jiujiu jumped up and stopped in front of a stall, pointed to the big billboard and read: "China Mobile recharges and sends phone bills, rush 100 get 60, rush 500 get 300." β
"Do you want to send money?" He Qi smiled dumbly and asked, "When did you become a fortune boy?"
"People's mobile phones are going to be shut down, okay, recently used a lot of money to surf the Internet, a few days ago mobile activities, one hundred get fifty, people didn't catch up, people don't want to shut down. Zhu Jiujiu pursed his lips and said, "I finally caught up, why can't I buy it?"
"It's miserable to buy it, but you can't get a penny. He Qi said with a smile.
"No, I see a lot of people buying, and after I buy it, I will always check the phone bill, if I can't find it, wouldn't I have to go to the goof?" Zhu Jiujiu asked in amazement.
"Scam this kind of thing, of course, is prepared, the simplest one is under the guise of senior VIP members, saying that they have to go through their operation to recharge, when the other party hands over the mobile phone to these people to operate, they will pretend to enter the password to recharge the appearance, of course, the first action is to check the balance, when the balance is checked, it will dial another phone, and then pretend to ask, tell the other party what the current balance is, in fact, at this time, the second dial in the phone has someone to remember the balance, and then our dear colleagues will timely report the amount of the other party to rechargeAt this time, those people will open the phone to speakerphone, and at the same time, the person on the other end of the phone will quote the calculated amount in Mandarin, which sounds like China Mobile's customer service is generally professional, after going through this process, these people will hang up the phone and return the mobile phone to each other, and many people will take it for granted that the money has been charged, but in fact they have not gotten anything. β
"But I saw that those people were obviously on the phone, and they seemed to be chatting happily. Zhu Jiujiu looked at a few smiling passers-by in the stall in confusion and said, "Isn't it okay to make a phone call if you don't rush in?"
"I already have some money on my phone to call them. He Qi looked at Zhu Jiujiu in amazement, as if he was looking at an idiot, seeing a fire in Zhu Jiujiu's apricot eyes, he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said dryly: "If it's a variant, it can be deceived again, I think this is a variant." β
"Say!" Zhu Jiujiu stared at He Qi's nose unceremoniously, squinting his eyes and humming.
"The so-called mutation is the body that changes..."
"Do you want to die?" Zhu Jiujiu looked at He Qi seriously and threatened word by word.
"That, I'm kidding that. He Qi had a bitter face and explained: " This kind of bureau is actually selling a very cheap calling card, speaking of which is a serious businessman, but it has nothing to do with mobile, just under the guise of mobile partners to sell, the principle lies in the telephone callback card, the so-called telephone callback card is really used when it is indeed cheaper than direct dialing, because they themselves are a kind of network phone, first of all, the mobile phone must be bound to the server, and then every time you call, you have to dial a dedicated customer service phone, the server will automatically hang up the user's phone after receiving the dial, and call back to the user's mobile phone within three secondsAt this time, the user only needs to enter the phone number he wants to dial according to the prompt tone, and through the network platform, the server will dial the phone of the called party, and then connect the caller and the called party through the server. β
"If it's really cheap, then it's not a scam, at most, it's a mobile brand, everyone will still get benefits, why can't you buy it?" Zhu Jiujiu said strangely.
"Because this kind of callback was banned in '07. He Qi shook his head and said: "There are two ways to call back, hardware and software, hardware is more stable, software is focused on cheap and fast erection, now on the market this kind of buy 100 get 60, basically use software to operate, the capacity is very small, can not withstand large-scale user use, don't look at now everyone can use this system normally, within a few days, will continue to receive a busy line prompt tone, where can this kind of phone be used?" Besides, many people run away after making a ticket, this kind of phone card was originally printed by themselves, how much to print, and the same as RMB, just change the number. β
"It's really a loss. Zhu Jiujiu shook his head and sighed, rolled his eyes, and said, "Do you want to tease them?"
"This street is full of peers, you have to tease them one by one, I'm afraid you don't have to go. He Qi shook his head and said, "If you are not greedy, how can you be fooled, let them be." β
"But it's clear that Mobile is also doing this kind of thing, speaking of which, they still borrowed mobile advertising, and there is no such activity in the mall to buy 100 get 60 free, you can't blame them. Zhu Jiujiu argued.
"So this is the era of Hamlet, liars, dumb and fools, making this society more ignorant, moving the so-called buy 100 get 60 free, is with the restriction of installment return, and will not send you 60 yuan in one go, and some also ask you to open the so-called specific service, the money sent over will be used up in just a few days after the service is opened, and in the end, it is not to be upside down. For example, one hundred and sixty in the shopping mall, what you get is just some offset rolls, as long as there are a few big characters on the book, only more than 100 consumption can be used, and the upper limit of each use is 20 yuan, if you want to spend this 60 yuan, you have to buy 400 yuan before and after, but it is just an eighty-five discount, how can it seem so cheap on the surface. Seeing that Zhu Jiujiu still looked like he was excited and wanted to do it, He Qi couldn't help sighing and said: "Seeing the big sale in front of you, if you can win ten things without losing money, this matter is up to you." β
"It's all fought to the end, where can I talk about the price?" Zhu Jiujiu glanced at it, shook his head and said: "You see that a fan is only sold for thirteen yuan, such a big one, it can be regarded as vomiting blood and selling, if I take a knife and put it on someone's neck, there may be a play." β
He Qi smiled faintly and said very confidently: "You can give as much as he wants, you don't need to bargain, just be careful and don't suffer." β
"That's what you said, don't play tricks when I buy it, let me move back honestly!" Zhu Jiujiu said with a playful smile: "I saw people selling TVs, and you are uncomfortable with the weight of that kind of old TV." β
"Go ahead. He Qi smiled unmindlessly: "I don't care if you cry when you suffer." β
"Cut, you're going to die!" Zhu Jiujiu glanced at He Qi, and jumped to the stall of the big sale, without hesitation, he picked out ten large items very happily, and the boss of Le smiled.
The boss clicked the calculator a few times to get a number, then handed it to Zhu Jiujiu and said, "Girl, give you a calculator, do you calculate this price." β
"It's more than a thousand, and it's quite expensive if it's not much. Zhu Jiujiu muttered, pressed the clear key on the calculator, and began to calculate the price card, and after a while, he nodded and said, "No problem, I bought it." β
"Do you really want to buy it?" He Qi stood beside her and smiled, "But there's no chance of repentance?"
"I've counted it three times!" Zhu Jiujiu nodded seriously and said, "I've thought about it, and we'll pretend to be the police to arrest those two people later." β
"No, there are patrol officers here, and it's very troublesome. He Qi shook his head and said reluctantly.
"Aren't you very familiar with those policemen?" Zhu Jiujiu remembered that he almost forgot to ask He Qi in the morning why he was so familiar with the police in Guangzhou, and he was able to easily pass the customs under the interrogation of the police at the airport, which was really a little strange, and he couldn't help but stare at He Qi and asked, "You are not a police officer who came out to go undercover, right?"
"How can there be a police officer like me who deceives people everywhere, but I have been in Guangdong for a few days and know the details inside, otherwise how could I make two police officer cards to use, but the fake ones are fake after all, as a last resort, it is better to be careful." β
"Okay. Then you'll have to get ready to carry these things home. Zhu Jiujiu nodded and said with a smile.
"Don't you want to see this number?" He Qi showed a bright and happy smile and handed over his mobile phone, which was the pattern of the calculator, and the number displayed was only half of the calculator in Zhu Jiujiu's hand.
"What, how can this be?" Zhu Jiujiu looked down at his calculator in amazement, and began to calculate simple math, and muttered in his mouth: "One plus one equals two, plus two equals four, plus three equals seven..."
After a long time, she raised her head a little blankly and said, "There is no problem with this thing, I calculated it is normal." β
"You can do the math again with this boss's calculator. He Qi looked at the boss who was in a cold sweat and smiled: "If the number is wrong, can I return it?"
"It's no problem to return the goods, no problem!" The boss laughed more ugly than crying, and said repeatedly: "This is really none of my business, she calculated it herself." β
"Am I such an idiot!" Zhu Jiujiu angrily threw the calculator on the ground, just now she did calculate the price according to what He Qi said, but the result was indeed more than half less than the original, and now she finally understood what He Qi's ill-intentioned smile just now was proud.
"It's really none of my business!" The boss looked at Zhu Jiujiu tremblingly, his voice trembled a little, which made He Qi laugh, this boss seems to be a novice, and he is a little less thick-skinned and black-hearted than the stall boss should have, and he is an old man, I am afraid that he would have said something with a cold face that Zhu Jiujiu's own eyes are not good.
"Alright, let's go. He Qi pulled the angry Zhu Jiujiu and said softly: "It's just a little joke, I'll take you to have some fun." β
"What method did he use? I obviously calculated it three times!" Although Zhu Jiujiu followed He Qi away, he still couldn't help but ask angrily.
"It's a calculator that can be controlled remotely, so you miscalculated, because the boss's hand has been in his pocket, he is standing next to you, and when you press the calculator keyboard, he will operate according to the numbers you derive, which was originally very cheap, and very simple things have become complicated because of the accumulation of numbers, and the changing numbers will also make you ignore his small movements, so his things will be sold very cheaply, so he has not suffered, so even if it is discovered, it can be said that it is the reason for the customer's miscalculation, but it seems that he is a rookie, and he is very nervous when he is discoveredγ
"How did you find out? We are so far apart, why do you see that he has this thing?" Zhu Jiujiu asked very incomprehensibly.
"When I mixed in Beijing, I also bought things in Zhongguancun, which is the birthplace of this kind of calculator, because this kind of calculator is red-headed, so there is also a name called the red label, just now I saw him selling things when he looked very nervous, and put his hand in his pocket on a hot day, and thought of the red label that he hadn't seen for a long time, so he would let you come to see a fresh, join in the fun. β
"Shameless!" Zhu Jiujiu snorted hatefully, pouting the little mouth of the Cherry Gang and shouting: "I don't care, you make me unhappy, you have to take me to have some fun, at least catch two people to play tricks on me, otherwise I will cry to you!"
"No, it's a headache. He Qi was very innocent and shouted.
"It's going to be biased!" Zhu Jiujiu stomped his feet and closed his eyes, screaming like a vexatious child.
"Okay, okay!" He Qi was speechless for a while, pointed to the neon lights in front of him and said, "There's a bar over there, take you to have some fun." β
