Ms. Fei told the police that this year was her natal year, and she heard that buying a pet monkey to keep it would make her happy and prosperous in the natal year. So, after searching on the Internet, she saw a news about selling pet monkeys on a forum. The seller left contact information on the Internet, and said that it only cost 2,000 yuan a piece, and posted a lot of little monkeys. photo. Ms. Fei, who did not have any resistance to dumb and cute animals, saw the cute little monkeys in the seller's circle of friends, her eyes lit up, and she contacted the seller to buy one.

The monkey seller said that all the procedures on his side are complete, and he has a breeding certificate permitted by the state, which can be handled for the buyer, so these monkeys can be bought and sold. Then Ms. Fei learned in detail how to feed and how to treat the disease. In the end, after some bargaining, the two parties settled the deal at a price of 1,500 yuan, and Ms. Fei also paid 1,500 yuan as the fee for the agent's breeding certificate.

But the 3,000 yuan was just transferred from Ms. Fei's account, and the seller disappeared immediately. Ms. Fei couldn't send any messages. Only then did Ms. Fei realize that she had been blocked by the other party. She must have been deceived. Ms. Fei immediately called the other party's number, and the seller's mobile phone was already turned off at this time. In desperation, Ms. Fei hurried to the Jiankang Road police station to report the case.
