The end of the year and the beginning of the year are the time for swindlers and thieves to take large-scale actions. They want to make a big profit for the new year when people are eager to return home for the new year. In this period, we should not only take good care of the financial information we carry when we go out, but also prevent the fraud of the fraud group. The editor of this article will take stock of the most common types of fraud. Please be vigilant.
1、 Ticket fraud
Close to the Spring Festival, the phenomenon of "hard to get one ticket" is very common. Some fake ticket websites will induce consumers to buy tickets under the banner of low price. After the consumer completes the payment, the false ticket purchase platform will inform the card that the ticket cannot be entered normally, require the consumer to buy again, and promise to refund the previous ticket money in full. After the user fills in the information again and pays, the user will be cheated of two or more ticket payments.
Choose a regular ticket purchase channel, do not easily believe in low-cost ticket purchase, scalper ticket purchase and other information, and do not disclose personal information to others.
2、 False E-commerce
At the end of the year, many merchants will carry out holiday promotions. At this time, criminals may send false links in the name of 'promotional goods' with preferential prices or rebate information to induce users to buy goods. The cheated person clicks the link to 'register to buy', but actually tells the cheater his own account information and sensitive personal information.
In the Internet age, all kinds of information are mixed, so we should strengthen the screening ability. There will be no pie in the sky. Please choose formal channels to buy goods.
3、 Point exchange
On the eve of the Spring Festival, the exchange of various consumption points has entered a peak period. Some swindlers also took the opportunity to continue to cheat, tampered with the number by using the pseudo base station, and frantically sent false SMS of "exchanging points for cash / big gift bag" in the name of communication operators and banks. A link to a phishing website is attached to the text message to lure the cheated to click.
After receiving the information about 'point exchange', even if it shows the official number of telecom operators, banks and other institutions, it should be verified through official channels first.
4、 Red envelope trap
By the end of the year, a wave of false red envelope fraud came again. Swindlers take free cash red envelopes as bait and use social platforms to spread fishing links. Once clicking on these links, you will be asked to focus on micro signals or fill in personal ID number, bank card number, password account and other information, which may lead to bank card stolen.
'cash' may be a trap, 'red envelope' may be a 'explosive bag' disguised by a phishing link. Think twice before clicking on a strange link, and don't easily fill in relevant information on a strange website.
