4月22日，“央視曝光購物卡成洗錢工具”相關話題，登上微博熱搜。

　　據央視財經報導，江蘇省邳州市的張女士在4月初被一則“零基礎兼職配音”的廣告吸引，下載軟體進行網路配音。在所謂“導師”的幫助下獲得了上百元的現金收益。第二天這名“導師”就引導她進入一個基金平臺，讓其購買理財產品。

　　經過幾輪投資理財后，張女士想要提現時，卻被告知因“操作錯誤”需充值解凍。按照其“導師”要求，該女士來到大型連鎖商超，打算購買7.4萬元購物卡。當工作人員詢問具體原因時，她卻支支吾吾，還頻繁查看手機資訊。這引起了超市工作人員的警覺，並上報給了民警部門。

After the police arrived at the scene, they found that she was doing a financial management task on a fund software by checking Ms. Zhang's mobile phone information, and someone induced her to buy a shopping card and upload the card number and password. The police found that Ms. Zhang had transferred large amounts of money and frequently transferred money, and preliminarily inferred that she might be suspected of being involved in online fraud.

According to the police, because the shopping card of the supermarket has the characteristics of anonymity and liquidity, it is difficult to be traced after committing illegal crimes, so the fraudsters require the victim to convert the funds into a shopping card, obtain the card number and password, and quickly cash out at a discount through the black market channel to complete money laundering.

The Ministry of Public Security previously issued a reminder that the new routine of fraud and money laundering through the transfer of fraudulent funds through shopping cards is highly prevalent in many places across the country. Some fraudsters use the bearer nature of shopping cards to commit fraud, first inducing victims to buy shopping cards, and then obtaining card numbers and passwords, and committing "money laundering" crimes while committing fraud. Among such scams, the most common types of scams are such as rebates, impersonating customer service, and fake investment and financial management.

The police reminded to prevent shopping card-related fraud, do not click on unknown links or scan suspicious QR codes, avoid downloading fraud or Trojan virus software, and strictly keep core information such as card numbers and passwords confidential. If someone asks you to buy a large number of shopping cards and provides the card number and password, you have fallen for a scam.
