According to a report in “Looking Around”, the mother who was suffering from the disease was searching for “Poon Choi” on the Internet. At that time, her mother saw a very attractive Poon Choi restaurant on the Facebook platform, so she took the initiative to send a private message to the other party “What options are there?”, and the other party was very interested. There was a reply soon, and the Poon Choi menu and price list were sent.
Since my mother was not very familiar with online operations, she asked the store to contact her by phone to inquire about payment matters. However, the other party refused on the grounds of “large orders” and pointed out that the current online purchase of Poon Choi requires online transfer. Then she asked her to go to the store that afternoon. Payment is required. At that time, my mother didn’t think so, so she directly paid $1,100 via online bank transfer. Unexpectedly, the store disappeared immediately after the successful payment. My mother tried calling and sending messages to the other party, but no one responded. Mrs. Zhang immediately contacted the bank after discovering that her mother had been deceived. , but still cannot recover this amount.
In addition to customers being deceived, it turned out that scammers also stole photos and store information of Poon Choi restaurants and opened fake pages pretending to be their own stores to commit fraud. Boss Deng of the Poon Choi restaurant was deeply affected by this. He pointed out that incidents involving fake Poon Choi pages and money fraud had occurred in previous years. One thing is that there will be no phone calls or messages from him.” As far as he knows, more than a hundred people have been deceived so far. At the same time, he also reminds everyone that if you find that no one answers the phone when ordering Poon Choi, only use text messages for contact, and ask questions after ordering but no one answers, this means that you have already Falling into a fraud trap by mistake.
Regarding this incident, Boss Deng felt deeply helpless. He said that after learning about the incident, he immediately posted a message online to clarify, “It’s so helpless, we can’t avoid it, so we have to do what we have to do.” Finally, he also reminded again in the video that the store only has Facebook groups and does not have online ordering and payment services. Currently, it only provides phone and WhatsApp orders. As for the payment methods, it currently only offers cash on delivery and in-store payment. .
