Cases of telephone fraud using epidemic situation

Cases of telephone fraud using epidemic situation

In the case of using the epidemic situation for telephone fraud, under such special circumstances, many new fraud routines have emerged, and we will inevitably be cheated, which is unacceptable to us. Let's share a case of using the epidemic to conduct telephone fraud.

Using the epidemic telephone fraud case 1 1 to impersonate epidemic prevention personnel to defraud.

Some lawless elements call or send short messages to the masses in the name of the staff of the Health and Health Commission and the CDC, or call them online surveys, or call them "you are a close contact or infected person", or call their health codes, travel codes and nucleic acid reports abnormal, and ask them to cooperate with epidemic prevention.

Through some intimidation and threats, ask the masses for personal information including ID card, bank card and mobile phone number step by step. And defraud the bank verification code to commit fraud on the grounds of sending information confirmation. Criminals often know the local epidemic prevention situation first, and when they are told that they are close contacts or infected people, they often have emotional fluctuations, which makes it more difficult to distinguish between true and false.

point out

What we are afraid of is often fear itself. Fear can make people lose their minds and cause confusion. When verifying, be calm and rational. It is impossible for epidemic prevention personnel to collect your bank card number, account password and other irrelevant sensitive information, and the payment verification code must not be disclosed to anyone else. Please pay attention to screening and beware of fraud.

2, nucleic acid detection "fast track" scam

People are in urgent need of nucleic acid for work or life, but they are unwilling to queue up for fear of trouble and risk. The so-called "insiders" or "well-informed people" take advantage of people's urgent needs and send a large number of messages such as "hurry for half an hour at the earliest", "you can also do nucleic acid testing at home" and "guarantee a negative report" through chat groups and pseudo base stations, claiming that you can do it at an extra cost. In fact, this is all a routine of cheating money.

point out

There is no "fast lane" for nucleic acid detection. Don't trust gossip and "private channels" on the Internet. This not only falls into the trap of criminals, but also affects their normal travel, and it is illegal to forge nucleic acid certificates. It must be tested in a medical institution or testing institution certified by the health department.

3. Phishing links and QR code fraud

In the name of epidemic prevention personnel and community workers, some criminals send phishing links and QR codes pretending to be "inspection" and "information filing" by joining chat groups or sending messages in groups, so as to lure people to click or "sweep" false links containing Trojan websites and ask them to fill in sensitive information such as personal information and payment passwords, thus stealing people's personal property.

point out

Don't click on unknown links! If you receive relevant information, you can filter it yourself in the "Peer Secret Contact Self-inspection" of the WeChat "National Government Service Platform" applet.

4. Pretending to be a "donation" scam

Criminals pretend to be charities and medical institutions in many ways, and defraud money through fundraising. Even when forwarding real fundraising information, they cheat money by changing the collection account to their own collection account, which is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Affected by the epidemic, many people temporarily lost their economic income. Some lawless elements took this opportunity to guide the victims to transfer money many times in the name of donation and rebate, which was hard to prevent.

Give love, you must find formal channels, and don't transfer the donated funds to your personal account. Don't let your sympathy become a tool for criminals to make profits. In case of such fund-raising fraud, please be vigilant and call the police immediately.

5. Recruiting epidemic prevention personnel to resort to deceit

During the epidemic prevention and control period, a large number of epidemic prevention workers are needed, and many people also want to join the volunteer team. The criminals aim at this opportunity and publish false recruitment information in the name of recruiting volunteers. After the people take the initiative to contact, they will be charged registration fees, physical examination fees, training fees, epidemic prevention equipment fees, nucleic acid testing fees and other fees. It was blacked out after paying the fee.

point out

To participate in epidemic prevention work, we must choose formal channels, such as youth volunteer activities organized by youth league committees at all levels, and don't trust recruitment information of unknown origin. Some recruitment takes high salary as bait and charges various fees in advance, which is likely to be fraud. Please distinguish carefully.

6. Purchasing materials fraud

During the epidemic prevention and control period, living materials and epidemic prevention materials became tight commodities. The criminals enter the community owner's WeChat group by scanning the QR code published by the community owner, and then change the personal WeChat nickname and avatar to the purchasing staff of the nearby store, and use the identity of the purchasing staff to publish sales information such as related living materials.

And send your own' WeChat Collection QR Code' to the group. At the same time, in order to get more benefits, they lied that they had to buy more pieces before delivery, so the residents of the community transferred the money for purchasing materials to the QR code account. After receiving the money, the perpetrators quit the group and lost contact.

point out

Parents and other work contact groups should turn on the verification function, verify the identity of the people in the group, and promptly eliminate those who have doubts about their identity. Parents can strengthen communication with teachers at ordinary times, which is convenient for children to communicate in their studies, and can also confirm the fees and other issues in time. More importantly, COVID-19 vaccine is free in China, and individual residents do not have to bear any expenses.

The criminals pretended to be relatives and friends around the victim through the contact information obtained in advance, and lied that they were infected with COVID-19 virus through SMS, WeChat, etc. Now they are required to pay the so-called hospitalization expenses, treatment expenses and medical expenses to the designated account for fraud.

point out

Whenever you receive an online transfer request from an acquaintance, or ask for important information such as bank card, online banking password and verification code, you must always be vigilant and try to verify the identity of the other party before making a decision. During the epidemic period, China citizens who paid medical insurance in China, whether confirmed cases or suspected cases, can enjoy the policy of free treatment in COVID-19 as long as they are isolated or treated in time according to the relevant regulations of the local government.

After that, the criminals will guide the victims step by step to leave the formal trading platform and add QQ, WeChat and Alipay. , take important information such as bank card account number, password, SMS verification code, or send a phishing website link, QR code and other ways to transfer the victim's money.

They need to scan the code in time to register and collect it, guide the victim to the "phishing website" and fill in the bank card number, password, verification code and other information before transferring the victim's funds.

point out

During the epidemic period, subsidies and subsidy information for small and micro enterprises, individual industrial and commercial households and people in need must be obtained through official media. Be wary of those who contact you actively and call the official number for verification. Don't click on unknown links and provide personal information.

Police reminder

Because of the emergency, the dispatcher will contact you by phone, but the dispatcher's phone number that starts with "00" or "+"or doesn't show the attribution must be fraud. The dispatcher will not ask questions about property, let alone ask you information such as bank card number and verification code.

How can we stay away from telecom fraud by using case 3 of epidemic telephone fraud?

If you want to stay away from telecom fraud, you must establish a certain anti-fraud awareness in peacetime, and you must do it. Don't trust others easily. When it comes to money, you must be cautious again. In addition, don't be greedy and cheap. Fraudsters just take advantage of people's greed for petty gain to cheat. You know, there is no such thing as pie.

In addition, you must protect your personal ID card and bank card information at ordinary times, and don't disclose any of your information. Also, when you take the express box, you should pay attention to destroying your information and then throw it away. Then, if you usually receive strange phone calls and text messages, just ignore them.

In particular, someone asks you to click on a link to fill in your personal information, which is generally fraud. When you fill in your information, you may have been cheated. You must have a strong consciousness at ordinary times, that is, don't disclose your identity information and family information easily, such as home address and telephone number.

Also, if you want to ensure the safety of the funds in the bank card, you should never transfer money to strangers at ordinary times. If you have to transfer money, you must carefully verify the other party's account and don't let the criminals succeed. Now telecom fraud is becoming more and more terrible, and everyone mentioned above must pay attention.
