Almost 2m yuan scam cash recovered
Print Edition
POLICE have helped a city business recover almost 2 million yuan (US$ 322,139) after it was conned by online swindlers impersonating a director.
Yangpu District police said yesterday that they received a report in April that a company had been duped out of 2.48 million yuan.
Police did not give the name of the company, nor its line of business.
A member of staff in the finance department received a message on April 1 from the company’s deputy director’s QQ instant messaging account, saying that the company president urgently wanted money transferred.
As the deputy director was in the habit of giving instructions through QQ, the staff member transferred 2.48 million yuan to an account.
However, she later discovered that the deputy director’s QQ account had been hacked, and no transfer request had been made by the president.
Police found 600,000 yuan had been transferred from the bank account through ATM machines that day.
Officers froze the account, registered in Jinhua City, in neighboring Zhejiang Province, to a woman surnamed Lu, which still contained 1.88 million yuan.
Police traced Lu, who had lost her id card and which had been acquired by the swindlers. Accompanied by police, on July 13 she withdrew the 1.88 million yuan and it was returned to the company.
The criminals have not yet been traced.
