Ministry of Public Security: Over 60% of telecommunication network frauds are implemented by using counterfeit apps. What information is worth paying attention to?

It is worth noting that these telecom fraud methods will change with social hotspots. For example, after the outbreak of the epidemic, a fraud scheme related to the epidemic will be derived. First of all, liars will lie that they are epidemic prevention personnel. Call the victim and claim to be a close contact. Now he needs to isolate himself immediately and can't tell anyone. After hearing this, the victim was very scared, and then he would hide and transfer the money to a safe account according to the other party's request.

Another kind of person will pretend to be a logistics worker and call the recipient, saying that their express mail needs to be destroyed centrally, because this is positive for COVID-19. In order to protect consumers' rights and interests, merchants decided to return cash and compensation, and then induced the other party to lend money.

? False APP fraud process?

First of all, scammers will add strange friends by casting a big net to catch big fish online. After users pass, they will cheat according to their gender. If the other person is a single male liar, he will pretend to be Bai Fumei and take photos in the circle of friends every day to attract the other person. After attracting attention, scammers ask questions about them every day until they gain the trust of each other, and even develop into a relationship between men and women, luring each other to download fake apps to make big money. The victim earned a little money through the APP, thinking that the more he invested, the more he could earn, so he invested all his family and even took out a loan. When he wanted to withdraw cash, he failed to withdraw it. Only then did he realize that he had been cheated, and it was too late. Even if he went to the police, it would be difficult to get the cheated money back.

How to prevent such fraud?

First of all, we should raise the awareness of fraud prevention, don't download software of unknown origin casually, and don't disclose personal information to others casually. The best way is to download the national anti-fraud center APP, which can monitor the mobile phone dynamics in real time. Once the liar comes to the door, the APP will keep warning. Since its launch, the software has helped many victims avoid losses. Whether you are cheated or not, you must pretend.
