The deck taxi deceives people and has a clever idea. Fake banknotes are exchanged for passengers’ WeChat transfers.
When getting off the taxi, the "brother" made a request to the passenger Ms. Zheng on the pretext of handing over some money through WeChat, hoping that she would transfer some money to him through WeChat, and he would return the money to Ms. Zheng in cash. Unexpectedly, Ms. Zheng received two counterfeit bills from the "brother".
At 5 am yesterday, Ms. Zheng, who was returning from her travels, was caught in a taxi deck at the T2 terminal of the Capital International Airport. Not only did the license plate and the information on the invoice not correspond, but the driver even played a trick of stealing beams and columns when Ms. Zheng got off the bus. After receiving a WeChat transfer of 200 yuan from Ms. Zheng, she exchanged two counterfeit 100 yuan banknotes prepared in advance for Ms. Zheng.
Ms. Zheng and her wife arrived at the Capital International Airport at 5am yesterday and chose to take a taxi home. Ms. Zheng told reporters that she was tired just after getting off the plane, and that the "taxi driver" was very familiar with the road conditions and did not take a detour along the way. He also chatted with Ms. Zheng enthusiastically, so Ms. Zheng and her lover relaxed their vigilance.
At the door of the house, Ms. Zheng paid the fare through WeChat. At this time, the "brother" offered to hope that Ms. Zheng could transfer some money to herself through WeChat. "I have to pay some money in two days. Can you use WeChat to transfer some money to me, 100 or 200, so that you can save the need to go to the bank to withdraw money." Ms. Zheng quickly used WeChat to transfer 200 yuan to the driver and got two hundred yuan cash from the driver.
After a while, Ms. Zheng suddenly realized that the number of the two hundred-dollar bills given to her by the driver was exactly the same. After careful identification, the feel and appearance were also different from real money. When she got out of the car to pick up her luggage, Ms. Zheng’s husband had looked at the license plate number, which did not match the license plate number on the invoice. Then Ms. Zheng dialed 110 and learned that she may have encountered a license plate car. The police officer who answered the police also told Ms. Zheng that multiple similar incidents had been found.
In recent years, there have been a lot of reports about cabs. Even on the day Ms. Zheng encountered a fake taxi, some passengers also encountered cabs and money exchange scams in the T1 terminal. After combing, the reporter found that most of these scams were carried out late at night. On the one hand, it was possible to evade inspection and monitoring. On the other hand, passengers were less vigilant at this time, and it was not easy for passengers to detect their small movements at night.
According to Article 31 of the "Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on the Administration of RMB": "It is prohibited to smuggle, transport, possess or use counterfeit or altered RMB." Therefore, once citizens are deceived into receiving counterfeit currency, they should submit the counterfeit currency to the public security organ or the relevant Financial Institution Group in a timely manner, and must not use it again to avoid unnecessary trouble.
