The aunt bought 0.5kg of gold crazily without picking the item, the clerk called the police, and the police urgently intercepted it.
According to a city report, on August 27, an aunt Wang from Xinmi, Henan Province, came to a gold store and asked to buy 0.5 kilograms of gold without picking a price or bargaining. She also had to mail it.
More than 300,000 yuan of gold is not a small amount. The clerk felt that something was wrong and immediately called the police. The police investigation found that Aunt Wang was caught in an "investment and financial management" scam. The other party said that she had earned 600,000 and needed to mail 500 grams of gold to withdraw cash.
The police tried hard to dissuade, but Aunt Wang couldn't listen and insisted on mailing the gold. In desperation, the police had to intercept the courier sent by Aunt Wang. Fortunately, the gold had not been sent, and the loss of more than 300,000 yuan was finally saved.
Under the patient persuasion of the police, Aunt Wang finally woke up and realized that she had been deceived. She expressed her gratitude to the police and felt afraid that she had almost been deceived.
This incident warns us that we need to be cautious in investing and managing our finances, and do not easily believe the rhetoric of strangers, lest we fall into a scam and cause unnecessary losses.
