The woman was cheated by 70 thousand because of what the other party said?

Received a text message from a friend asking for help in transferring money. Recently, a citizen of Kunshan, Jiangsu Province was defrauded of 70,000 yuan. This trick of impersonating relatives and friends to commit fraud is very old-fashioned. Why do people still fall for it? Jiangsu Province's anti-communication network fraud (hereinafter referred to as the "provincial anti-fraud center") said that it was actually caused by information leakage. As soon as the liar came up, he called him by his first name, which made the victim suddenly relax his vigilance.

"Pretending to be a friend to send text messages for fraud is actually a very old-fashioned scam. The main reason why Ms. Chen was cheated was that the other party called her by her first name as soon as she came up. " The relevant person in charge of the provincial anti-fraud center said that the scam was based on the identity information of the victim obtained by the suspect. After they obtained the victim's address book information through illegal channels, they sent text messages by their first names, claiming that they would change their numbers and not call. After you update your address book, they impersonate relatives and friends to commit fraud through SMS, which is even more deceptive.

The best way to see through this scam is to call for verification. However, scammers have also begun to escalate this deception. When they encounter something that needs telephone verification, they often refuse to answer the phone for various reasons. For example, claiming to be in a meeting with the leader is not convenient to answer the phone; The mobile phone is broken, it can't answer, and so on.

So how do scammers get the identity information of the parties? In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the provincial anti-fraud center introduced that there are two main ways. On the one hand, a large number of netizens have no resistance to fraud, personal information is distributed casually, accounts are misused, and information is easily stolen. On the other hand, fraudsters send viruses to users' mobile phones, so that all contact information in users' mobile phone address books can be stolen.

In response to such scams, the provincial anti-fraud center reminds the general public that they must first verify the text messages sent by relatives and friends to avoid being used by criminals. "No matter whether you change the number or send money, you must call to verify." The relevant person in charge of the provincial anti-fraud center told the reporter of Modern Express that if the other party doesn't answer the phone for various reasons, then you can try to see if anyone answers the old number. The police have received reports of cases in which this method was successfully used to avoid being cheated. After receiving the short message of "borrowing money to transfer money", the victim thought that something had happened to his relatives and friends, and when he was ready to dial the "new number" to confirm, the other party refused to answer. "I called and didn't answer. I called three times and didn't answer. I thought it was even more strange, so I called his original number and got through! He didn't change the number at all! This man is a liar! "

At the same time, the general public should also protect their personal information to avoid being stolen. Don't easily click on unfamiliar links on your mobile phone, which may contain Trojan virus programs. This kind of toxic link often appears in the form of "children's report cards, photos of class reunion, private photos, invitations" and so on.

In fact, this is an old trick, but why are so many people fooled?
