A word of caution! New tricks are online, and your anti-fraud skills should be updated.

　　With the country’s efforts to crack down on online telecom fraud, criminals are constantly renovating fraud. We have sorted out several recent scams, hoping that the public will constantly improve their anti-fraud skills and not give criminals an opportunity.

　　Scam 1: Pick up the lottery ticket and scrape out the "grand prize"

　　Walking on the road, I suddenly found a "grand prize lottery ticket". Did a pie fall from the sky?

　　For this kind of false lottery fraud cases, anti-fraud experts pointed out that swindlers distributed so-called "grand prize lottery tickets" everywhere, so as to attract people’s attention. Once someone was carried away by the "grand prize" and dialed the "redemption" phone number, they were likely to be cheated into paying "handling fees" and "bonus tax", causing economic losses. In addition, some lawless elements will "make a full set of plays" and create fake lottery websites in advance to dispel users’ doubts, thus tricking more people into being fooled.

　　Scam 2: Lie that you lost the courier and asked to add WeChat.

　　Recently, a new deception of posing as a courier company staff fraud appeared.

　　The fraudsters first pretended to be employees of the courier company and claimed to have lost the victim’s courier, intending to pay full compensation to the victim. Then, let the victim add WeChat.

　　In WeChat, the victim is first induced to borrow money online, and then a link with Trojan virus and a QR code are sent to the victim for connection, so that the virus in the victim’s mobile phone can defraud money.

　　Scam 3: wayward "boss" madly sends red packets.

　　"Never send it to the whole network in cash-filled red envelopes", "You can take the cash prize with a little finger forwarding" and "The boss gave money willfully on the tenth anniversary of a certain enterprise" … … Various exaggerated titles of "WeChat red envelopes" became popular in the WeChat group.

　　This kind of red envelope is different from ordinary red envelopes. After opening, it is not a cash-filled red envelopes, but a web link. To display a red envelope on a webpage, you need to share the red envelope link in multiple WeChat groups first. In order to show the authenticity of the red envelope, the words "XXX has successfully cashed out RMB" are often attached at the bottom of the webpage.

　　In fact, this kind of external red packets are mostly marketing advertisements, the purpose of which is to induce users to forward the web links that come with the red packets. However, there are also scammers who will not let you go after sharing, and will continue to induce users to participate in "preferential recharge activities". The result is often that the recharge is false, and the fraud is true. Moreover, in this process, once the user fills in the mobile phone number and other information, personal privacy may be exposed.

　　Not only is it risky to receive red envelopes, but you should also be careful when giving them. Send 30 to 60, send 500 to 1000, and you can get a double return when you send a red envelope in the group. Such a "good thing" should be careful of hidden traps. This kind of rebate behavior is very popular in QQ group and WeChat group recently. Some fraudsters set up so-called red envelope groups. In fact, 9 out of 10 people in the group are childcare. In addition, fraudsters will enhance the authenticity by forging a series of transfer records, and induce the victims to step into the trap step by step. After the victims send large red envelopes, the other party will directly pull the black, or let the victims continue to transfer money or send red envelopes on the grounds that the system is not received, causing more losses.

　　Scam 4: Fudge investment in the name of "virtual currency" and "blockchain"

　　Recently, a photo of a Chinese aunt posing at the blockchain conference became popular in the circle of friends, and netizens commented that the aunts had been targeted by the blockchain. Since the beginning of this year, some criminals have carried out pyramid schemes under the banner of blockchain finance, which has become one of the latest variants of pyramid schemes.

　　With the development of blockchain technology, various virtual currencies have emerged, and many of them are scams. Liars carry out pyramid schemes in the name of "virtual currency" and "blockchain", mainly to grasp the psychology of ordinary investors who don’t understand virtual currency and blockchain, but hope to catch up with the virtual currency investment boom. Its scams are often complicated and investors are easily fooled. Moreover, it is difficult to recover its investment after being fooled.

　　Experts remind that various virtual currency platforms generally promote technologies such as "blockchain" and "decentralization", and some are also named after international organizations and multinational financial groups, which is extremely confusing. Middle-aged and old friends must invest carefully and it is best not to set foot in unfamiliar investment fields.

　　Scam 5: Making the "Public Security Bureau" APP to deceive people into entering bank card information.

　　Different from the telecom fraud that used to pretend to be a public security officer, the swindler in this new telecom fraud made an "Intelligent Police System of the Public Security Bureau" APP that was confusing enough to trick the victim into entering information such as bank cards to defraud funds.

　　According to the police, the phishing APP made by scammers has the functions of "call transfer" and "SMS interception", which deliberately blocks the communication between the police and the victims. At the same time, the APP basically includes all prime bank in China, and does not require the victim to transfer money across banks or through online banking. Once the deceived person inputs the bank card number, ID card, mobile phone number, login password and transaction password, his bank account is basically in a "streaking" state.
