Recently, a number of coffee shop operators on social platforms posted that they had encountered a group single scam.

First of all, the contact said that he wanted to purchase a large number of coffee drinks, cakes and snacks on the grounds that schools, companies, enterprises and other units should hold team-building activities. After discussing the transaction with the shopkeeper, the contact person will ask him to buy gifts such as Huniu and Buddha jumping over the wall, and join hands with the so-called suppliers to open a net so that the shopkeeper can not receive the goods after paying the money.

This kind of group single scam has been introduced before, and operators around the country said that the tricks of fraudsters are not novel, and the same tricks can be seen in florists, baking bread and other industries earlier. It's just that in the past month or so, these traps have appeared frequently in Guangdong, and several shopkeepers have even encountered the same scam on the same day.

Some netizens noticed from the shopkeepers' posts that the swindlers they encountered may not be the same person, but judging from their business names, they should be an organized gang of fraudsters. The ID users of these people are different from their avatars, but they use exactly the same tricks when contacting coffee shops, setting traps widely and waiting for some "lucky guy" to fall into the pit.

In addition to Guangzhou, Shunde and other places, coffee practitioners in other surrounding cities also report that they have encountered exactly the same scam, and the swindlers are also using authenticated corporate accounts.

When some stores encounter orders worth thousands of yuan, they mistakenly think that big pies fall from the sky, and when they see verified social accounts, they are less vigilant, so they happily prepare for cooperation in advance. Fortunately, the timely detection of anomalies did not cause greater economic losses.

For the old-fashioned deception that appears frequently, shopkeepers send posts to warn their peers that they should not lose their guard because of a big order that does not even give a deposit, while lamenting that they have opened a coffee shop to do some small business. I didn't expect to be targeted by the team of swindlers.

Most operators say bluntly that lightning protection for such scams is plentiful on various social platforms, and they can tell whether it is a real business or a fake group order from the conversation. However, such scams have sprung up all over the country, accidentally causing some new stores to grow and fall into the pit designed by the swindlers.

Netizens suggested that now that many cafes have encountered holes dug by the same group of people, can they work together to provide clues to the police to deal with these people who come out to cheat in a few days?

Some operators have also thought about this proposal, but in fact, if they had detected the scam early and had not been cheated out of money, the police would not be able to accept it after reporting to the police. If someone unfortunately steps into a trap, the economic losses caused may not reach the standard of filing a case, and it is difficult to recover the money cheated.

In the recent period of frequent frauds, coffee shopkeepers can only be vigilant and should not be bewildered by the sudden "splash of wealth" and fall into the crude trap of swindlers.
