[Touhou Shimpo] The official mascot "Bingdwendwen" is becoming more popular in China with the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics. The goods have become difficult to obtain, and resellers and malicious fraud groups have appeared. The ice -designed ice -like ice costumes like a space suit were not good enough in China until recently due to the catastrophe. Immediately before the opening of the Olympics on February 4, a video of a program in which Japanese TV announcers appealed to the charm of the ice was spread in China, and the attention was improved. After the opening, the award ceremony was repeatedly shed of a medalist with a doll of ice -shaped dolls, and the popularity rose at a stretch, saying that it was very cute. Ice -shaped goods are 20 cm in size stuffed animal (about 3488 yen), 8 centimeters of 88 yuan (about 1598 yen), key chain 58 yuan (about 1053 yen), badge 48 yuan (about 872 yen). It is sold out at supermarkets, etc., and the Olympics official shop in the downtown area of Beijing, Wangfujing, has been in line early in the morning before opening. In China, from January 31 to February 6th, the holidays (Lunar New Year, Lunar New Year) have continued to be short of goods due to delay in manufacturing and supply at factories. For this reason, goods are resold on the Internet, and 192 yuan stuffed animals are sold at around 2000 yuan (about 36,338 yen), about 10 times. According to Chinese media, citizens in Zhejiang have been scammed about goods. I found a promotion on the Internet "There is a special route to buy ice" and transferred 3500 yuan (about 63,592 yen), but from the other party, "It's difficult to get it right now. I want you to wait a little." It is said that the other party was blocked when he requested a refund. In addition, there were several frauds that received 250 yuan (about 4542 yen) for electronic money, but were blocked by electronic money, receiving the message "We will purchase ice" in "WeChat". It has been reported. The Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee issued a statement that "Ice -shaped goods will continue to be manufactured until June." Eventually, the goods are available, so they call them not to respond to malicious resale or fraud. Other frauds are rampant over the Olympics. "Olympic goods were hit in our campaign," he sent a message with a grinder, and if a happy citizen wants goods, he requests cash, saying, "I need a deposit first" and "I want you to transfer fees and postage." The tricks are reported. In addition, there was an incident that launched a fake official website of the Beijing Winter Olympics and advertised the "Olympic souvenir gift by lottery", and obtained the card number that was entered by the applicant. Police in various places are strengthening crackdown on scams that abuse sports festivals. (C) Touhou Shimpo/AFPBB NEWS * "Touhou Shimpo" is a Chinese newspaper launched in Japan in 1995.
