On June 11, 2024, at 10:40 PM, a 64-year-old man surnamed Xu went to a bank in Bade District with his wife to make a remittance of 200,000 yuan. The bank staff sensed something was amiss and promptly alerted the local police. Officers arrived to discover that Xu had received a call from someone pretending to be a former comrade from the military asking to borrow money urgently. Through detailed questioning, the police revealed it was a case of 'fake friends or relatives fraud.' By presenting relevant cases and advice, they managed to dissuade Xu from sending the money, successfully preventing the fraud. Authorities reminded the public to stay vigilant against common fraud tactics like impersonating friends or relatives for ulterior motives.
