207: Telephone fraud? You are looking for death!

"In any case, everyone, be careful. These past few days, quite a few big shots around Brother Qi have been scammed, some for millions or tens of millions," Brother Qi cited as an example.

However, it is hard to use good words to persuade those determined to die, and great compassion cannot save those who insist on destroying themselves.

Within just three short days, the Qinchuan Patrol Police station received multiple reports of telecommunications fraud.

Julong Steel Factory.

"Chairman, yesterday two young men in our factory were acting like their lives were over. I inquired about it, and it is said that they were swindled out of over 200,000," Ma Quanlin said.

Caring for the well-being of employees is one of a director's duties. Telecommunications fraud is currently causing panic, and he could not help but take it seriously.

Lu Shenwei asked: "Which R&D department?"

"The Unmanned Boat R&D and Production Department. They finished their statements yesterday, but the money cannot be recovered," Ma Quanlin said regretfully.

Lu Shenwei thought for a moment: "It's good that the people are fine. Organize an all-factory employee meeting tomorrow afternoon. Require all R&D departments, every workshop, and every single worker to install the anti-fraud app."

"Emphasize this again: there is no such thing as a free lunch. Anyone who dares to spread fraud-related content in the factory will be fired without exception!"

Only with thunderous means can one show a compassionate heart.

"As for the two workers who were scammed, lend them some money privately. Don't charge interest, and have them pay it back within five years."

Ma Quanlin asked: "Is this the right thing to do? Others who get scammed might follow suit."

"Do it privately, keep it confidential."

Help those in emergencies, not those in poverty, and certainly not the dim-witted.

There are only a few tricks to telecommunications fraud; as long as you guard strictly against them, there will definitely be no problems.

Ma Quanlin agreed readily. The next day, he brought in the anti-fraud cyber police officer, Ate (Old Chen had already passed away), to conduct a professional educational training session.

"Director Ma is making this so formal. Is there really anyone who gets scammed by such idiotic methods?"

"Idiotic methods? Just wait until they are used on you. I heard several workers in our factory have fallen for it."

"Really?"

"From the Unmanned Boat R&D Department. I heard Deputy Director Zhou was so angry he didn't eat for days. All work in the Unmanned Boat R&D Department is suspended for two days to focus on learning anti-fraud knowledge."

"New Street in the North and Tiger Dragon Villa are centers of fraud. Why doesn't our Dragon Xia send troops to wipe out the fraudsters' lair?"

"Long Xia has always loved peace. You don't know anything."

"Fraud is so rampant; it's only a matter of time before they are wiped out."

"I heard there are tens of thousands of mercenaries in New Street in the North; it's hard to deal with them."

"Hard to deal with? Just use rocket artillery to wash the ground. If that doesn't work, use thermobaric bombs and white phosphorus bombs!"

"That's impossible. There are still quite a few civilians there. Making a mess doesn't fit Long Xia's character."

After the anti-fraud officer Ate finished his lecture, Ma Quanlin took the microphone and warned again: "Fraud is rampant, so everyone must be vigilant. The Chairman has already spoken: everyone in the factory, even Grandpa Liu who watches the gate, must install the anti-fraud app."

"Director, Grandpa Liu at the gate uses an old-fashioned phone; he can't install it!"

"Hahaha!"

"You've confused Director Ma!"

Someone shouted, causing the whole room to burst into laughter.

"Everyone, be serious! Install the app within three days and get a reward of 100. Install it within five days and get a reward of 50. If I find out you haven't installed the anti-fraud app within a week, you'll be suspended for reflection!" Ma Quanlin said sternly.

Beside him, Ate muttered to himself: I had heard that Julong Steel was rich, but I didn't expect them to be this rich.

Just an average worker who has only been on the job for two years gets scammed out of hundreds of thousands.

If the Chairman of Julong Steel Factory were to be scammed, wouldn't it be billions?

Under the joint high-pressure efforts of Ma Quanlin and Lu Shenwei, all workers in the factory, except for Grandpa Liu who didn't install the anti-fraud software, had it installed.

The vigilance of the Julong Steel workers increased, but many people elsewhere in Dragon Xia were still being swindled, ultimately leading to a powerful crackdown by Dragon Xia against overseas fraudsters.

【The anti-fraud propaganda of Julong Steel Factory is really ruthless; they just give out money, and you have to take it.】

【Julong Steel's method is good, but how many other companies in Dragon Xia are as wealthy as Julong Steel?】

【That is the truth. Only Julong Steel is willing to throw money around; other companies don't care if you live or die.】

【Looking forward to the country taking action and wiping out the fraud syndicates.】

"The higher-ups won't take action; after all, this is on someone else's territory," Brother Qi analyzed.

【There will eventually be a day when they can't help it, right? The fraudsters are already riding dragons in our faces.】

【Exactly, and that Li Saidie, as well as the weather forecast host, the one who is all flirty, they all look like accomplices of the fraudsters.】

【So what if you can tell they are accomplices? Are you going to go over and drag them back?】

【There are five or sixty thousand mercenaries in the North; do you really think they are small fries?】

【Even the Western Theater Command would probably have to weigh their options before acting. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense.】

"Stop arguing, just trust the country!" Brother Qi said.

【Trust the country? I trust my ass; they can't even deal with a few scammers.】

【Talking about national stability every day; if you have the ability, why don't you wipe out the kidney-stealing Groups in the North?】

Everyone, whether human or ghost, is showing off; only the idiots are getting beaten.

Telecommunications fraud intensified, finally attracting the attention of the higher-ups, who decided to strike at the appropriate time. Of course, the onlookers were unaware of all this.

At Julong Steel Factory, Lu Shenwei called in the two workers who had been scammed for a talk.

"If you have any difficulties, the factory can help you resolve them. There is no such thing as a free lunch, do you understand?" Lu Shenwei said sternly.

The two lowered their heads: "Chairman, we know we were wrong. Please, don't fire us."

"Fire you? What nonsense are you talking about? Those who recognize their mistakes and correct them are good comrades," Lu Shenwei said seriously.

The two workers only had the money in their own pockets stolen; they did not assist the fraudsters in expanding their results, so the harm was not significant.

Ma Quanlin interjected: "It was I who threatened to fire them."

"The Director also did it for your own good. Let this matter end here with you; you are absolutely not allowed to commit this mistake again."

Lu Shenwei looked serious, and the two workers lowered their heads and replied: "Rest assured, we will never be greedy for petty gains again."

Being greedy for small gains leads to big losses; the two before him had encountered a "pig-butchering" scam.

Thinking they were lucky, they played a few rounds, hoping to make quick money and run, but ended up sinking deeper and deeper.

They forgot what the older generation once said: nine out of ten bets are lost, and nine out of ten losses are scams!

"Zhou Cun, take them back. Don't be overly harsh on them," Lu Shenwei instructed.

Zhou Cun's face was livid. As the leader of the R&D department that was the first victim of telecommunications fraud, he had nowhere to hide his youthful face.

"I promise you, there will never be a second time."

Zhou Cun said this and led them away. Seeing this, Lu Shenwei said: "Uncle Ma, follow them and take a look. Zhou Cun is still too young; don't be too excessive in how you handle this."

Ma Quanlin agreed and left. Just after Ma Quanlin left, Zhou Wen suddenly called.

"District Chief Zhou, it's been a while since we last spoke. Do you have any instructions?"

"I'm really worked up right now. I don't know which immoral ghost caused a P2P platform to crash; I'm currently cleaning up the mess," Zhou Wen said speechlessly.
