在大街上走着,忽然有个人很神秘地走到跟前,小声说:“SK-II要吗?偷的,很便宜。”你会作何反应?估计多半是一笑而过吧。据说,现在很多专业销赃人士都去开网店了,因为e-fence被抓到的风险比较小。
E-fence refers to sell stolen goods on the Internet, particularly using an online auction site such as eBay, also efence.
E-fence指通过网络,尤指通过eBay等网上竞拍站点销售盗窃物品的行为,(即“网上销赃”),也可以用efence表示。
That's part of the appeal of an online auction to thieves, retail experts say. Criminals can "e-fence" stolen goods with virtual anonymity and little risk of being tracked, compared with the face-to-face transaction of selling the merchandise to a pawn shop or from the back of a truck.
零售业专家表示,在线竞拍对窃贼的吸引力在于:犯罪分子可以用网络虚拟的名字销售盗窃物品;跟到典当行面对面交易或躲在卡车后面交易相比,被人追踪到的风险很小。
