After Getting Divorced, Her Powerful Birth Family Welcomed Her Home! Chapter 31: Telecommunications Scam

Chapter 31: Telecommunications Scam

"As expected of my Sister An. She often masters skills that others don't have."
"No one can affect my Sister An's eating speed!"
"Oh my god, she's not ladylike at all. What a waste of her good looks!"
"I pity the commenter above for their simple and boring taste. All good-looking skin is the same, but an interesting soul is one in a million. Please reevaluate your depth in taste."
After Tan Ming and Lu Ting went on stage, Director Han continued, "Recently, telecommunications scams have been very rampant. The country is vigorously promoting all kinds of anti-scam knowledge. Our production team has decided to respond to the call. Please ask Anan and Lu Ting to randomly draw a set of phone numbers from the box. After dialing, please think of a way to make the other party believe your scam. Then, get them to click on the link the production team will send later."
The side of the box facing the audience was transparent. The numbers 0 to 9 were written on the table tennis balls inside. For a 11-digit phone number, the first seven digits would be randomly provided by the production team, and the remaining four digits would be drawn by the guests themselves.
As an agent, Lu Ting was good at socializing. In other words, she knew how to fool people. She was fearless and wanted to complete the challenge first. In order to protect the information of the owner of the phone number, the production team only publicized the last four digits drawn, as well as the name of the owner and some simple public information.
The person who picked up Lu Ting's call was a female university student. Taking advantage of school environments being simpler, Lu Ting used ambiguous words to convince the other party that she was her classmate. Then, she made the other party agree to vote for her in an event.
Caught off guard, the female student clicked on the link to the text message website and saw a line of words. "If this was a scam, all your money would have been transferred away. Please be more vigilant!"
When the female student read it, she was still in a daze. "What are you guys doing?"
Director Han explained the back story to this and conveniently also promoted the show.
"The design of this segment is really good. It's very meaningful! Many people will really fall for it if scammers pretend to be acquaintances!"
"Right now, scams are rampant both domestically and internationally. Through such a popular variety show, it can really effectively increase the vigilance of more people."
"An'an is next. She looks so obedient. She doesn't look like someone who knows how to fool people. I'm worried for her!"
Tan Ming had already taken back her phone. She searched online for cases of telecommunications fraud and prepared what she would say. After seeing that Lu Ting had completed the mission, she felt a little more confident. She dialed the number and put it on speaker. When the phone was about to automatically hang up, the call finally connected.
A lazy but cold male voice said, "Hello?"
"My ears are going to get pregnant. This voice is so beautiful!"
"Please give me the number! I want to call him too!"
The man's voice caused the audience to scream. Tan Ming also could not help but be stunned.
The staff member held up the man's information and gestured for Tan Ming to quickly get to the point.
Tan Ming came back to her senses and began to speak. "Hello, are you Mr. Zou? I'm Xiao Lin, customer service of Extravagant Purchase Network. My staff number is 33568."
Zou Bai put his phone on speaker and placed it on the table beside him. He reached for a towel and wrapped it around his lower body. When he heard this, he frowned slightly. He suddenly remembered that a certain someone had bought him a custom-made military knife and accidentally left his personal number on it. "What's the matter?"
Tan Ming got to the point. "It's like this. Due to the quality of the products you bought, we have taken the initiative to contact you to discuss the refund. I'll send the refund website to your phone now. Please click to fill in the bank account number to receive the refund. We'll immediately arrange for a refund. As compensation, we'll give the products to you for free. I hope you can keep it a secret for us and not reveal this to outsiders."
Tan Ming had specially chosen the method of swindling people by refunding them. This was using a method that many people used to take advantage of others. This method of swindling had the highest success rate.
Zou Bai frowned as he looked at the web address that popped up. He immediately became alert. There were so many problems with this, and he had actually been bothered with answering a stranger's call for so long. If there was really a problem, he was afraid that he would fall for the scam. He calmly picked up the phone and coldly rejected, "No need to refund!"
After saying that, Zou Bai hung up the phone. He walked out of the bathroom and handed the phone to a man wearing gold-framed glasses in the room. "Check the number that just called me."
Everyone was stunned when they heard the beeping sound coming from the phone.
