Funny text messages, fraudulent text messages

A few days ago, my mobile phone received a message: "Are you there?"

I looked at the name displayed in the message. If it weren't for my former colleagues, I wouldn't even know what I want.

I answered casually: "Yes".

Then, he sent another message: "There is one thing. I'll transfer 450 to your card first, and then you can transfer 450 to my friend's WeChat for me. Can you turn it for me? "

At this time, I was very worried about my former colleagues. I haven't contacted them for a long time, and I am still in distant Beijing. How can I be asked to do things?

I'm worried about fraud, so I just want to check and ask him to contact me with QQ.

Then he said it was inconvenient without the internet.

As soon as this sentence was said, I was very sure that I was a liar.

Why am I so sure? Note that "Are you there" in the picture shows "iMessage information". Seeing this word, I can conclude that he sent me a message on the Internet.

Let's look back at this short message. There are too many doubts. Let me mark them one by one.

Doubt 1: Remitter's account number.

This is not a mobile phone number, but an email address. The email address is an irregular name.

Doubt 2: iMessage information

This is an important basis for me to believe that I am a liar: iMessage is a unique function of iPhone, and it can only be sent when there is a network.

Doubt 3: Transfer money to the card.

It is because there are too many fraudulent phone calls and information that banks have introduced new regulations this year, and the money transferred to bank cards can be withdrawn within 24 hours.

However, WeChat transfer has no cash withdrawal function!

Let's simulate that if I believe him, he will transfer 450 yuan to my card, and then I will transfer to his so-called friend WeChat. After receiving WeChat, he withdrew the bank transfer, and I lost 450 yuan for nothing!

Doubt 4: There is no Internet on the mobile phone, and it is said that a short message was sent.

Here is the contradiction with the third doubt. Liars don't quite understand the function of this iMessage.

After parsing, we have to consider one more step:

What if the liar really sent a text message? So how do we tell the difference?

I would like to remind everyone here that if you receive information related to money, you must verify the information of both parties. For example, you can ask him to name several colleagues and talk about his family. Tell me about your situation, when you met, what you experienced together, and so on.

Remember, don't be careless
