Fujian Entrepreneur Falls Victim to AI Face-Swapping Scam: Scammed 4.3 Million Yuan in 10 Minutes

According to the Ping An Baotou WeChat public account, recently, Mr. Guo, a well-known private entrepreneur in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, fell victim to a new type of scam. The fraudsters used AI face-swapping technology to impersonate his friend and borrow money from him via WeChat video call, managing to scam 4.3 million yuan in just 10 minutes. Fortunately, after receiving a request for assistance, the Baotou Public Security Bureau's Telecommunications Network Crime Investigation Division swiftly activated the police-bank joint mechanism and successfully intercepted over 3.3 million yuan of the scammed funds.

On the day of the incident, Mr. Guo received a WeChat video call that appeared to be from his friend. In the video call, he saw a familiar face and heard a familiar voice. The caller claimed that his friend was bidding on a project in another city and needed a 4.3 million yuan deposit, which could only be transferred through a corporate account. Therefore, he requested to use Mr. Guo's company account for the transfer. He asked for Mr. Guo's bank card number, claimed to have already transferred the money, and sent a screenshot of the transfer receipt. Believing it to be true, Mr. Guo did not verify his account balance and transferred the money in two installments to the provided account. After the transfer, he messaged his friend on WeChat that everything was done, only to receive a question mark in response. It was then that Mr. Guo realized he had been scammed.
