Is it harmful for me to receive free traffic on WeChat?

Liars may make a false traffic information, and then induce citizens to click in, get the verification code by planting Trojans, intercepting SMS verification codes, submitting bank card information, and then transfer money to withdraw money.

The police told us that in fact, after the liar receives your name and bank card information, the most important thing is not to ask for the bank card password, but to ask for the verification code. With the verification code, he can modify the password and transfer money. In addition, some criminals collect phone numbers under the guise of free traffic, and then package them and sell them to criminals for mass spam or telecom fraud.

Three characteristics of false traffic activities

First, it is not official information.

Second, this kind of information sometimes makes you download some, apps or plug-ins.

Third, it will ask you to provide a lot of citizen information, especially real estate information. Generally, people who collect bank card information and online banking information are suspected of fraud.

Regular traffic giving activities are published through the official WeChat accounts of the three major operators, or through the official app of the operators. You only need to enter your mobile phone number, and the operator will automatically assign it after checking the information. When you are not sure about the authenticity of the event, you can call the operator's customer service phone for consultation.

In addition to free traffic scams, many scams with red envelopes and coupons are also widely spread among friends. Usually, this information is published with the same name and avatar as the official WeChat account, which is easy to be confused. In the face of this information, in fact, as long as you learn to identify the account subject, you can avoid being deceived.
