I suddenly received a short message from ICBC saying that I had applied for a debit card, but I didn't. What happened?

If you don't apply for a debit card at ICBC, ICBC won't send the corresponding "debit card opening" message to users. If this happens, there are two possibilities:

1. The information was stolen by a third party. The other party handled a debit card of ICBC, but left someone else's contact number in ICBC, which led others to receive a short message that the ICBC debit card had been opened.

2. This is a mass fraud message. You should call ICBC's customer service or go to the local ICBC to find out whether there is ICBC's debit card business. If not, don't trust the content of the message easily.

Methods of preventing bank card short message fraud;

1, to raise awareness of all kinds of SMS fraud. At present, some card-issuing banks provide cardholders with SMS reminder service for bank card withdrawal. Regular short messages generally include the card number of the bank card where the transaction takes place, which is different from false short messages.

2. Enhance the awareness of safe card use. Cardholders should carefully read the instructions and safety precautions provided by the issuing bank, master the basic knowledge of card use, and take good care of their bank cards and passwords. Don't disclose bank card information, and don't transfer money to strange accounts easily.
