Chapter 660 Card Recharge
"Hey, Brother Pigeon, you're here to buy French fries again. What flavor do you want this time?" Millipede said to the white pigeon that landed in front of the door.

"No, I'm here to see you this time." The city manager folded his wings and said seriously, "Just take care of your men. That's enough."

"Well, which of my men are you talking about?"

"That female student named Shen Yue, didn't you ask her to defraud those newcomers?"

"Oh, she's my teaching assistant," Malu said, "she's here to help me teach, because no matter how much you talk about fraud prevention, it's not as convincing as experiencing it yourself."

"But we can't leave them nothing. If we do that, what's the point of them learning how to prevent fraud?"

"Ah? Were they deceived badly?" Malu was surprised. "It's only the third day. Strictly speaking, less than 50 hours have passed."

"After your class that day, the new students received the fraudulent text messages. At that time, they gathered together to laugh at the person who sent the text message, saying that she exposed her mobile phone number so quickly and the means were very clumsy."

"What did Shen Yue post?" Malu asked curiously.

“It was an advertisement for financial investment, saying that she had inside information and promising that if you invested now, you could receive a 20% cashback on the 10th of every month, for a total of 24 months.

"She made some phone calls afterwards, but the newlyweds were very alert and didn't fall for it. Someone even laughed at her on the phone."

"She then found a boy, changed her mobile phone number, and called those new people in the name of the Public Security Bureau's Anti-Fraud Office, saying that fraudulent information had been detected, so she called to remind them to be careful about fraud prevention and not to transfer money to strangers."

"Because the people were different this time, and there was no money involved, and because they were unfamiliar with the area, many people believed that the people on the other side were really police officers."

"The next day, Shen Yue sent another message. This time, there was no content but only a link. Although many people knew it was a scam, they still couldn't help but click on the link, and then they were redirected to an overseas website."

"Why, is there a Trojan hidden in that website?"

"No, but later Shen Yue asked the boy to send a message in the name of the Anti-Fraud Office of the Public Security Bureau, saying that there was a Trojan horse on the website that could steal payment passwords, and asked those who clicked on it to contact them to check the security of their accounts."

"And when those guys called, Shen Yue began to induce them to transfer money to the public security safe account."

"Hmm... a very old-fashioned scam, but it's also quite effective." Malu commented after listening, "Especially for people who have just arrived on Earth and are not familiar with the environment here. So how much money did she defraud in the end?"

"Not a penny." The city manager said, "That's the problem. Afterwards, she returned all the 60,000 yuan she had cheated, and made those newcomers really believe that the police were on the other side.

"She then used this identity to deal with new people and build their trust, until this morning when she defrauded 123767 yuan in one go.

“After these newcomers came to Earth, I gave each of them an initial capital of 50 yuan, which is yuan for people.

"Considering they have already spent part of it, the rest of the money has basically been scammed.

"By the time they realized they were duped, it was already too late. And just when they were getting anxious, you contacted them."

"I contacted them?" Malu was surprised.

"Well, even though the phone number isn't yours, the newcomers all said the voice is definitely yours, and you're the only one who knows they've just been scammed."

"SoVITS voice cloning," Malu snapped his fingers, "The Ancient Poetry and Literature Society has saved a lot of videos from my previous activities. Shen Yue should have asked someone to train my voice model.

"That guy is always fooling around, but he still has a lot of connections in school. But don't those new guys have any money?"

"Right, so they paid in star coins." "Huh?"

"Shen Yue used your voice to call those people and told them that you would let Shen Yue return the money to them, but Shen Yue was very poor and owed a lot of money before. After receiving the money, she probably spent a lot of it. So some people's money... probably won't be returned.

"Then she asked those people to top up their stored-value cards at the Universe Infinite Canteen. Whoever topped up the most stored-value cards would have their money refunded first."

"Those people thought it was you, so they started to recharge her with star coins. At first, they recharged three to five thousand. Later, someone recharged 10 in one go, and the rest of the people got anxious.

"Plus, Shen Yue didn't know what star coins were and was not satisfied with her gains, so she kept provoking them to keep charging them."

"Well, how much did they charge?"

"The final total is 1.2 million star coins."

"........."

Malu took a breath and said, "Just to get back the three thousand dollars?"

"The main reason was that everyone was a little bit excited at the time, and many people had already topped up 7,000 to 8,000 star coins in the early stages. They were unwilling to give up halfway, so they continued to top up. The final amount was extremely huge. Some people even planned to use their high-dimensional creations to exchange for Shen Yue."

"But Shen Yue obviously began to doubt the identities of those guys later on."

"It's not surprising. She has always had a good brain. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given her the ancient poetry and prose." Malu said.

"Things have gotten a little out of control, otherwise I wouldn't have come looking for you. Forget about the money, just ask her to return all those star coins. There's no use for her to have them." said the city manager.

However, Malu did not answer. Instead, he stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

The man and the pigeon had been dealing with each other for some time, and the city managers immediately became alert.

"What are you doing? Do you want to take the money? I advise you not to have such crooked thoughts. Although doing so does not violate the laws of your country, I am still watching City B."

"Hey, you're worrying too much. You know me. How could I be that kind of person?" Malu said.

"I just thought it would be a bit of a blow to the egos of those guys to tell them the truth.

"After all, so many people were fooled by one person, and it was not just once. It's a bit embarrassing."

"What do you mean?" Pigeon asked with a squint.

"How about I take a little loss and pretend that I was the one who made the last call... At least this way they won't be fooled."

"You still say you don't want to covet the 1.2 million star coins?"

"How can this be considered greed? They deposited money into my restaurant and can still come to dine there in the future. The money did not disappear, it just moved to a different place.

"When they come to the Universe Infinite Canteen for meals, you can still spend it," said Malu.
