The strange money counting machine that cleverly "swallows money" is rumored on the Internet

"Spread urgently: Money stuck in a money counting machine? It may be stealing your money!" In recent days, a video has been circulating on the Internet, showing a man putting 40 hundred-yuan bills into a money counting machine. The first two times, the machine checked 40 bills each time.

But on the third time, the man picked up an object similar to a remote control placed in the lower right corner of the screen and pressed it, and a strange scene appeared.

After 40 bills passed through the money counting machine, the number on the screen suddenly became 30. After counting again, it became 20. After repeating this process 9 times, the number of bills became less and less, and finally only 10 were left. In other words, 3,000 yuan mysteriously evaporated in a short period of time.

The reporter noticed that the video of the money counting machine swallowing money was taken by netizens with their mobile phones and was only 2 minutes and 40 seconds long.

According to netizens, the initial discovery location was in Jinjiang, Fujian.

Since money counting machines are closely related to people's lives, the video of the money swallowing machine caused a lot of exclamations among netizens as soon as it appeared. Many websites also pushed it.

@People's Daily, @CCTV News and others forwarded the post

This video of a money counting machine that secretly "swallows money" has become a hot topic among netizens on Weibo, WeChat, and forums, and has also attracted the attention of some TV stations.

On October 11, Beijing Television reported the incident as "Fake Money Counting Machine". On October 13, CCTV also reported the incident, saying that the money counting machine was likely modified by a swindler.

At 7:48 pm on October 13, @CCTV News released the news. At 10:24 am yesterday, @People's Daily reposted the news and made a special reminder: If the money counter frequently jams, be vigilant; if the baffle at the bottom of the money counter is movable, it may be a hidden compartment for stealing money.

This Weibo post was forwarded by many official accounts and netizens, and the money-stealing money counting machine also caused ridicule among netizens.

@Speaking of Ah: There are all kinds of people, they are truly the “industry elites”.

@吹水吹吹: So magical, I bought one and went to the roadside to help people count the money, and I got rich.

@Fuzhudongze: Money counting machines also take kickbacks?

@Lao Lishi: It’s a money eating machine, a money grabbing machine!

@爱上Positano: Now even the money counting machine can’t be trusted, so I’d better rely on my hands.

@刘帅Leo: Since you didn't use your cleverness in the right way, can't you invent something else?

@航卫士: For large purchases, it’s best to use a credit card.

No such money-eating cash counting machine was found in Zhengzhou

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter rushed to Zhengzhou Railway Station and saw various types of money counting machines in the small commodity wholesale market, with prices ranging from 200 yuan to 600 yuan.

A merchant said that the bottom of a general money counting machine is fixed with steel plates and special screws, and there is only one money inlet and outlet, so as to ensure that the number of counted money matches the actual number. Money counting machines produced by regular manufacturers are very strict in the inspection, approval, and delivery links, and it is impossible to produce such a tricky money counting machine.

The strange thing about this kind of money counting machine is that it has been tampered with. It has multiple cash outlets, but ordinary people can only see one. "Of course, it is not easy to modify it without authorization. It requires technical knowledge and operation skills."

"This is a new scam. The act of swallowing money is considered theft. Once discovered, it will be severely cracked down by the police." Yesterday afternoon, the reporter visited the Nanyang Road Police Station, Jinshui Road Police Station, etc. and learned that this type of money-swallowing cash counting machine has not been found in Zhengzhou city.

The police reminded citizens to be more cautious and careful when using money counting machines so as not to be cheated by them.
