“If one item is tested positive, the entire truckload will be destroyed”? Don’t be fooled!

During the peak period of express delivery on Double Eleven, express packaging in many places has recently tested positive for the new coronavirus, which has attracted attention. It is worth noting that some fraudsters have tried to make a big fuss about this and defraud people.

"Courier tested positive for COVID-19 and needed to be destroyed" man was defrauded of 100,000

According to police from the Longgang Branch of the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau, a Mr. Wu recently received a call from someone claiming to be from a courier company, saying that his package was tested positive for the new coronavirus during transportation, and the entire truckload of packages had to be destroyed. He would be compensated, and the company also verified relevant information such as the courier number with him.

The other party asked Mr. Wu to scan a QR code and fill in the bank account number, password, verification code and other information. The result showed that the verification code timed out. The other party asked him to download an app for remote live broadcast and guided him step by step. After Mr. Wu did as he was told, he found that there were 6 online payments in his account, totaling more than 100,000 yuan.

The police said that in the above process, Mr. Wu's bank account number, password and verification code were leaked to the other party, and the other party could use his account to pay. This is an online shopping scam impersonating customer service, but the scammers have updated their methods and used the excuse of epidemic prevention and control to lure people into the game, which is very concealed.

“If one positive test occurs, the entire vehicle will be destroyed” Is this true or false?

The fraudulent call mentioned that "the courier tested positive, so the entire truckload of couriers will be destroyed." So, in actual handling, will this situation really affect an entire truckload of couriers?

Express delivery expert Yang Daqing said: "As far as I know, once the coronavirus is detected in some express delivery companies, they are required to seal the vehicles on site, disinfect the vehicles involved and the parcels in the same batch, and send them to the local epidemic prevention department at the same time, but they do not require the packages or the entire vehicle to be destroyed."
