[Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Justice: Beware of Fake 'Tasting Card' Scams, Criminals Use Virtual Currency to Settle Illicit Gains] Foresight News reports that the official WeChat account of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Justice has issued a statement regarding a new type of scam involving fake 'tasting cards' used to funnel victims into telecom network fraud schemes, which has emerged in multiple regions across the country. Scam groups distribute counterfeit supermarket 'tasting cards' to lure victims into scanning QR codes and joining so-called 'benefit groups,' subsequently carrying out rebate transfer scams. Shandong police have solved several related cases and arrested multiple suspects. Investigations reveal that criminals use overseas communication software to contact their superiors and settle illicit gains through virtual currency, making their activities highly concealed. Police warn that such scams are highly deceptive, and the public should remain vigilant, avoid scanning unknown QR codes, refrain from disclosing personal information to unfamiliar platforms, and prevent financial losses.
