What are the new means of telecommunication network crime?

Ten new illegal and criminal means in telecommunication network

Deception 1: Fake public security law fraud

Criminals pretend to be "policemen", "prosecutors" and "judges", falsely claiming that the victim is suspected of serious crimes such as money laundering and drug trafficking, and inducing the victim to transfer funds to the so-called "safe account" held by fraudsters. This kind of fraud causes the greatest loss.

The public security organ reminded that the police would not take notes by telephone, and the arrest warrant would be presented by the police at the scene of the arrest, and would not be sent by fax or found online. The public security organs have never set up a so-called "safe account" and will not arrange for the parties to transfer money to the "safe account" by telephone.

Deception 2: pretending to be an acquaintance fraud

Criminals obtain the mobile phone numbers and social account passwords of relatives and friends familiar to the victim through illegal channels, and master the social relationship of the victim, thus defrauding the trust of the victim, and then fabricating reasons such as "urgent need for money in case of accidents", "capital turnover" and "paying telephone bills" to induce the victim to transfer money.

The public security organ reminds: Any problem involving borrowing and remittance between relatives and friends must be verified by calling the other party's common number or video chat before making a decision.

Trick 3: Use pseudo base stations to send Trojan links to commit fraud.

Criminals use "pseudo base stations" and fraudulently use customer service phone numbers such as banks and operators to send short messages to victims, and induce victims to click on Trojan links in short messages on the grounds of exchanging account points for prizes. Once the user clicks, criminals can get the user's bank account information and password in the background, and then steal their account funds.

The public security organ reminds you that when you receive a short message with links such as "bank card password upgrade", "point redemption" and "winning the prize", you should make an inquiry through the official website of the bank or operator or the customer service phone, and don't click on the link in the short message easily.

Deception 4: Part-time fraud

After swiping the consumption records on various online platforms, criminals promised to return the principal and pay the commission. The victim will receive a reward soon after completing the first few tasks. When doing more tasks, the liar will cut off contact with the victim and disappear.

The public security organ reminds: job seekers should not believe in part-time jobs such as "high commission" and "advance payment" on the Internet, and should not believe in job advertisements without fixed telephone numbers and office addresses.

Deception 5: Cheating in the exam

Criminals obtain information of candidates through illegal means, send targeted messages or emails, claiming to "provide examination questions", "correct scores" and "handle false certificates" to induce candidates to remit money.

The public security organs reminded that it is illegal to miss questions, change marks, change files and forge qualification certificates. Please insist on speaking with your own strength.

Deception 6: Campus loan fraud

There are three main forms of campus loan fraud: one is to induce student loans with "mortgage-free and low interest" as bait, requiring payment of loan fees, management fees, security deposits and other fees; Second, it claims that comprehensive skills can be improved through training, exaggerating the training effect, signing training contracts, and inducing students to borrow money to pay tuition fees; Third, combined with part-time fraud, students are required to borrow money to buy mobile phones and other products as "sales agents". Interest and late fees on these loans are very high. If students can't repay on time, they will soon bear unbearable debt pressure.

The public security organ reminds students that when applying for loans or shopping by stages, they should measure whether they have the repayment ability. For matters related to the safety of their own information and property, they should be verified in many ways. Don't trust others' one-sided words easily, don't disclose personal information easily, and don't even lend your ID card to others. If you find danger, call the police in time.

Deception 7: national assets unfreezing scam

Criminals first fabricated a story about a country's assets secretly exiled overseas, and then claimed to be entrusted by the state to unfreeze these overseas assets, calling on the victims to pay the handling fee or information fee, saying that after success, everyone could get a high donation subsidy. In addition to "unfreezing national assets", criminals will also fabricate so-called gimmicks such as "supporting the elderly" and "helping the poor" to attract investment and implement fraud.

The public security organs reminded that the victims of such fraud are mostly middle-aged and elderly people. They are far away from public opinion and lack the ability to identify fraud. Young people should pay more attention to their elders and convey safety knowledge in time. In addition, pay attention to the use of online payment by parents and elders to ensure the safety of property and stop losses in time.

Deception 8: investment rebate fraud

This kind of scam usually advertises that it has an overseas background, and the industry it is engaged in can be profitable, and investors will get a high return on investment. In the initial stage of investment, criminals will make rebates on time, so that investors can taste the sweetness. After continuing to increase investment, they will lose everything.

The public security organ reminded that before investing in financial management, it is necessary to understand the projects invested, consult and evaluate more, and be thoughtful and cautious. In particular, we should be wary of all kinds of investment and financial management projects advertised as "low investment, high income and no risk" on the Internet. Don't blindly pursue high-interest returns, and beware of being cheated.

Deception 9: health care product shopping fraud

Criminal gangs pretend to be consultants, experts, professors, etc. Medical institutions think that the elderly exaggerate their illness in the name of "consultation", and then trick customers into buying various health care products with gimmicks such as membership registration, free experience, state subsidies and winning prizes. These "health products" are basically shoddy, with low cost but high price.

The public security organ reminds: Tell the old people at home some examples of being cheated, so that they don't believe the propaganda of health care products, and call the police immediately if they find being cheated.

Deception 10: seduction and naked chat extortion

After criminals illegally obtained the victim's information, they established contact through social software and gradually lured the victim to "naked chat" to obtain indecent photos and videos of the victim, thus blackmailing the victim.

The public security organs reminded us to stay away from bad network behaviors and not to disclose sensitive information such as identity and family to strangers.

To prevent fraud, we must do "four wants and four don't"

No matter how criminals make excuses and rhetoric, as long as they keep the safety bottom line below, they can be at a loss.

"Four essentials" refers to:

Before the transfer, it shall be verified and confirmed by telephone;

Mobile phones and computers should be equipped with security software;

QQ and WeChat should open the device lock and account protection to improve the security level of accounts;

Pay attention to the anti-fraud reminder that pops up when chatting online.

"Four noes" means:

Don't connect unfamiliar WIFI, some WIFI can easily cause the password of the payment account to be stolen;

Don't disclose the SMS verification code to others;

Do not set the payment password to be the same as the account login password;

Don't keep personal identification information such as ID card in your mobile phone.
