Just use my device to take pictures of payment codes of nearby businesses and send a photo to me to earn 80 yuan, or take a photo of the parking number on the car and earn 500 yuan per photo. This is a "get rich" project that a novice recently sent me, saying that you can easily make 3,000 yuan a day, and the project owner can also provide guarantees without any risks.
Let me make it clear here that this is a complete scam, the so-called "pig killing scheme".
In order to make you understand this scam more intuitively, I will describe it from a first-person perspective. I spent 100 oil to buy this project that pits novices.
According to the scammers, you only need to spend 100 yuan to buy a special photo-taking device, take a photo of the merchant's payment code nearby, and upload it to a designated group. You can earn 80 yuan for each photo. The deposit can be refunded after taking 30 photos, and there is also a guarantee service.
The scammer sent me a so-called guarantee group, but I checked and found it was fake. In order to expose this scam, I had to accept it, so I transferred 100 yuan to him. Because time was tight and I couldn't wait for him to send the equipment, I asked him: "Brother, is there any software that can be installed directly on the phone? I will start working right away."
I didn't expect the scammer to send me the APP installation package without hesitation, not even wanting to send me a second-hand phone. I quickly installed the software, and it actually required a card password to log in. I asked the scammer, "Brother, what is the card password?" The scammer replied, "Your phone is not safe, you need a card password to log in, the card password deposit is 500 gas, and I will return it after taking 30 photos."
Well, I finally got to this point. I could have ended it here, but curiosity drove me to pay 500 gas. After logging into the software, I found that the software was a camera shortcut. So I went to a nearby supermarket and took a few pictures of the payment code.
After uploading the photos, I was ready to make a fortune, but when I uploaded the first photo, it prompted that the photo was not compliant. It doesn't matter, I still have several photos. When I uploaded the second photo, it prompted that the payment code had been submitted. When I uploaded the third photo, it prompted that it was not directly taken. When I uploaded the last photo, it directly prompted that my account was abnormal and frozen, and asked me to contact customer service.
Smart people have guessed what the scammer will do next. That's right, he asked for a deposit again. This time the deposit was 900 gas. I didn't make a dime, and I had to pay more than 10,000 "tuition fees" first. So I said I didn't want to learn anymore, can I get a refund? As a result, the scammer only replied: "It's too late, I'll teach you a lesson."
Well, that’s it for a day of revealing the truth at a loss. This is the end of this issue on the proxy photography scam.
