Beware of these courier scams

Courier compensation

They impersonate courier company staff and, under the pretext of providing compensation for lost or damaged packages, ask consumers for their personal information and bank card account information in an attempt to defraud money.

Express delivery of "official documents"

This type of scam closely follows current affairs and key policies, and gains trust by forging seals of state agencies and creating fake documents, leading victims to click on fraudulent links and download fraudulent apps. Under the pretext of paying "handling fees" or "thaw funds", the victims are asked to continuously transfer money until their wallets are emptied.

Recently, Mr. Li (pseudonym) reported to the police that he received a strange express delivery , which contained a notebook and a "official document" with fake seals of the National Rural Revitalization Bureau, the National Financial Regulatory Administration, and the State Council, as well as a chat group QR code.

After Mr. Li tried to scan the QR code to join the group, he was told by customer service that there was a "poverty alleviation fund" of 3.9 million yuan available for collection.

Afterwards, the "staff" induced Mr. Li to download an APP and asked him to pay a "handling fee" of 1% of the "poverty alleviation fund" in the APP. Mr. Li realized that he had been cheated and reported the case to the public security organs.

Cash on delivery

They obtain consumers’ personal information through illegal channels such as “collect likes and give gifts”, then send express deliveries in batches, and charge the recipients dozens of yuan in so-called “shipping fees” through the express delivery companies, while the express deliveries actually contain waste paper, cards, etc.

Mobile phone fraud

They pretended to be couriers and borrowed the victims' phones under various pretexts, stealing their SIM cards when they were not paying attention, causing property losses to the victims.

Courier Prize Scam

The package received contained a "lottery card", and then a call was received informing them that they had won a prize, but they had to pay a fee first to meet the prize redemption conditions, in order to defraud money and property.

But it is also possible that, as in the case below, the fraudsters will send out "prizes" to gain the trust of consumers and then gradually induce them to remit money↓

In December 2023, Ms. Li from Taiyuan, Shanxi received a express delivery of unknown origin and found a notebook and a scratch card inside.

Ms. Li scratched the card and found that she had won the fifth prize - a piece of fruit worth 50 yuan . Then she scanned the code and added the customer service WeChat. Not long after, the fruit was really delivered to her home.

After receiving the fruit, Ms. Li was invited to a group chat, where the customer service said she could earn money part-time by taking screenshots of a live broadcast room. After completing the screenshot task for the first time, she did receive a 3.6 yuan cashback.

Later, the customer service proposed a so-called "public welfare task" and asked Ms. Li to transfer money to a designated "public welfare account" . For each completed order, not only would the principal be returned, but there would also be rebates. Ms. Li did receive rebates at the beginning, but after investing two sums totaling 330,000 yuan, she found that the money could no longer be returned.

Fraudulent remittance

The fake courier company calls consumers to inform them that they have not received their parcels, in order to obtain their personal information. The call is then transferred to the "public security agency" , who asks citizens to transfer money to a so-called "safe account" on the grounds that the parcel contains drugs or has a forged ID card.

What should I do if I encounter fraud?

Dial 110 immediately

The police will help you make emergency stop payments on relevant accounts and intercept them in time to prevent further losses.

Collect relevant evidence

Accurately and completely record the scammers' chat account, account name, chat history of both parties and other information; save the receipts of remittance or transfer , such as ATM transfer receipts or screenshots of WeChat, Alipay, and bank transfers; save and print out the time, account, transfer method, number of transfers, and amount of transfers.

Report the case to the police station as soon as possible

Go to the nearest police station as soon as possible to report the crime , cooperate with the public security organs to take notes, and provide relevant evidence. After the police retrieve and secure the electronic evidence, delete the fraudulent apps, websites, or text messages on your phone.
