Where to buy special price air tickets at 10% discount? QQ groups can do it! Would you believe that? Recently, a Chongqing to Shenzhen air ticket, Mr. Weng who works in a high-tech company in Nankai District, believed the netizens in QQ group could buy him a 30% discount international flight ticket. After payment, he found out that this ticket was invalid and that netizen had already withdrawn from the QQ group. Mr. Weng works for a high-tech enterprise in Nankai District of this city. Due to work reasons, he often needs to go on business trips. On December 3, Mr. Weng received a company notice requiring him to attend an academic conference held in Singapore on the 16th of this month. Therefore, Mr. Weng looked online that night to order a plane ticket from Beijing Capital International Airport to Singapore Changi Airport. After a series of inquiries, Mr. Weng felt that the one-way fare of 3660 yuan was too expensive. For the purpose of saving money for the company, he began to look for discounted air tickets online. Mr. Weng, who usually likes surfing the Internet, is the initiator of the "Nankai IT Elite" QQ group. Therefore, he posted a message on the group: "Beijing to Singapore, why are the air tickets so expensive?" Unexpectedly, a netizen with the QQ group name "Chongqing to Guangzhou Air Ticket Wanjin Stamp" replied that he could help him book low-cost return tickets, and the cheapest time period could be at 10% discount. The round-trip cost of Beijing to Singapore air tickets only requires more than 800 yuan, which indeed attracted Mr. Weng. Mr. Weng immediately contacted "Wanjin Stamp" by phone and provided relevant information such as his ID number to the other party. The next day, "Wanjin Stamp" personally delivered the ID documents and round-trip tickets to Mr. Weng's office. Due to urgent matters to handle, Mr. Weng gave the ticket fare to "Wanjin Stamp" and saw him off. Two hours later, Mr. Weng took another close look at the ticket and found something wrong with it. Therefore, Mr. Weng quickly dialed the ticketing hotline number on the ticket, but was informed that "Your ticket has been canceled." However, the more than 800 yuan given to "Wanjin Stamp" will not be returned. Originally, this scammer indeed used Mr. Weng's ID to order two tickets from the ticketing company, but changed Mr. Weng's mobile phone number to his own. While the ticketing company was delivering the tickets, the scammer was also using a printer and Mr. Weng's personal information to make fake air tickets. But at this point, the scammer's phone was off, and the ticket deliverer could not contact the ticket buyer, so the ticket had to be canceled. Afterwards, the scammer sent fake tickets to defraud Mr. Weng of more than 800 yuan. Subsequently, reporters also called a large network ticketing company in Tianjin. Staff members told reporters that passengers would receive detailed information about the booked tickets immediately after purchasing them. Even if they cannot get the passenger itinerary immediately, passengers should also check the information with the airline through telephone or network.
