7-11 delivery service becomes a new channel for money laundering by fraud groups. Criminal Bureau: Give you a code to tell you not to be fooled

Fraud syndicates have recently frequently used supermarket logistics as a new channel to launder money and collect stolen goods. The Criminal Police Department pointed out today that the fraud syndicates identified loopholes in the "7-11 Delivery" system that allow overseas billing and pick-up without identity verification. They sent shipping codes through communication software to trick victims into sending cash, passbooks, debit cards, SIM cards and other property to the store. Since the riders picked up the goods completely anonymously, it greatly increased the difficulty of the police investigation.

An in-depth investigation by the police found that the fraud group relied heavily on delivery services, mainly because the system had three major security vulnerabilities, including allowing overseas online billing, online billing without verification, and cash on delivery without identity verification. The fraud computer room hidden overseas could easily generate shipping codes remotely, and then remotely control domestic victims to go to the supermarket ibon machine to print documents and hand over packages.

When the stolen goods are delivered to the designated store, the rider of the fraudulent group only needs to pick up the goods through cash on delivery. Store personnel will not check the physical identity documents, allowing the riders to easily take away the stolen goods with very low risk, forming a breakpoint in the investigation.

The police said that in order to induce people to send important belongings, fraud groups often use various tricks to carry out scams, such as the need to beautify the account when applying for a loan, paying a salary card to apply for a job, verifying the cash flow of online shopping platforms, or requiring payment of customs package clearance fees, etc.

The Criminal Bureau emphasized that as long as the other party asks to go to the supermarket to send debit cards, passbooks, cash, gold or SIM cards, it is definitely a fraud trap; as long as you send debit cards, not only will your own savings be stolen, but you may also become an accomplice in defrauding your account; the sent SIM card will also be used to apply for social accounts or make fraudulent calls. If the public encounters similar criminal tactics, they must bring relevant evidence and go to the nearby police station to report the case.

The Criminal Bureau urges you not to listen to strangers’ instructions to use supermarket-to-store services to send important belongings. As long as you are given a code to request shipping, it is most likely a trap by a fraud group. If you have any doubts, please call the 165 anti-fraud consultation hotline or 110 report hotline immediately for verification.
