It is understood that the daughter of the district chief Yang Zhongyi bought game points without telling her family and borrowed 7,000 yuan through a small loan advertisement on the Internet. She actually received only 4,200 yuan. Later, because he kept transferring loans to pay off his previous debt, the other party contacted him to repay the money, and each time he urged Li Chang to remit a small amount of money. Li Chang originally hoped that the matter would be resolved early and help him repay, but unexpectedly, after remitting a sum, the other party came to urge the next sum.
Until I discovered that the number of remittances was unusually large, I looked back and found that nearly 1.2 million yuan had been remitted in just two months. This money put a lot of financial pressure on the family, and they realized that they must have encountered a fraud.
Yang Zhongyi said helplessly that until now, harassing calls are still coming, and even relatives and friends have received harassing and threatening calls. Recently, he has been using his name more often to order drinks and meals and ask the store to deliver them to the service counter. Unable to bear the disturbance, I reported the case to the police, hoping to clarify what happened and the related money.
