In the gaming world, power leveling advertisements appear one after another, claiming that each order ranges from tens to hundreds. This seemingly attractive price is just a cover, and many part-timers lose their money as a result. Recently, WeChat 110 revealed the game power leveling scam, let’s find out together.
Scammers lurk in game chat channels, part-time job groups and other scenes, targeting people who want to make money part-time.Claiming that he is a staff member of a power leveling studio and is recruiting "game fighters".
They use "free time, simple tasks, high demand, and generous rewards" to attract players to add their contact information.
After adding a friend, the fraudster will send a seemingly formal "entry instructions" to create the illusion of being reliable, and then ask for a "entry fee" and "contract fee" of about 50 yuan, and promises to "refund when the specified order quantity is reached," allowing the victim to relax his vigilance and pay voluntarily.
After the victim pays the first fee, the fraudster will fabricate reasons such as "some thugs have maliciously destroyed the account recently, and a deposit is required to avoid risks" and ask for fees ranging from 400 yuan.
But when the victim paid all the fees, he discovered that he had fallen into a trap: either the unit price of the order was ridiculously low, far less than the promised income; or he could not get the order at all.
If you propose to refund the money, the other party will refuse it as "the order quantity has not been filled" or "breach of the contract", or even lose contact directly, causing all the fees paid by the victim in the early stage to be wasted.
WeChat 110 reminds that formal part-time jobs do not "pay first and then start the job". Anyone who charges in advance in the name of "information fee", "security deposit", "deposit", etc. is likely to be a fraud.
