The command center of the Ministry of Public Security listed many "new tricks" in the prompt:

The first is to send false "credit card" consumption information to implement fraud. Criminals first pretended to be bank staff to send text messages, falsely claiming that customers used bank cards to make huge consumption in a shopping mall, and asked cardholders to reply to the "customer service phone number" for verification.

The second is to design a "grand prize" trap to implement fraud. Criminal suspects use relevant equipment to send false winning information in groups. When the SMS receiver dials the designated telephone number to inquire, it is required to pay personal income tax, notary fees, handling fees and other fees in advance before receiving the prize, and gradually lead the victim into the trap.

Third, it is deceptive to provide information about Mark Six Lottery to commit fraud. Criminals use related equipment to send short messages in groups, falsely claiming that they can provide accurate information for lottery winners, and only need to remit money to the designated account to get the winning number. This kind of fraud has no market in cities, but it is still deceptive in urban-rural fringe or rural areas.

Fourth, lying about an accident is fraud. Criminals first find out the situation of the victim and his family, and then ask the victim's family to temporarily turn off the mobile phone or unplug the fixed telephone line on the grounds that the telecom or mobile company debugs the line, and then call the main person.

Lie that a family member has a traffic accident or is ill in hospital, and ask for quick remittance to the designated account. When the victim calls his family for verification, he can't dial it. He is eager to save people for a while and can't consider it carefully, so he is often deceived.

5. Fraud in the name of recruiting hotel "public relations". The criminals used the relevant equipment to send text messages in groups, and asked the victims to go to the designated hotel for an interview under the guise of recruiting "Mr. Public Relations" with high salary. When the victim arrived at the designated hotel and called again, the criminal did not show up, claiming that the victim had passed the interview and had remitted the training, clothing and other expenses to the designated account before going to work.

Sixth, in the name of auctioning or selling low-priced materials, smuggling automobile and electrical appliances, and doing business in partnership, we use mass SMS to implement fraud.
