What are the measures to prevent fraud?

Methods to prevent fraud mainly include the following points:

Increase personal awareness of prevention. Be wary of strangers' kindness or help, and don't trust it easily; verify suspicious people or things, and don't let down your guard because of the other person's words or expressions.

Strengthen the protection of personal information. Protect personal information on social media, online platforms, etc., avoid disclosing sensitive information in public places, and carefully review the security and credibility of online applications that require input of personal information.

Discern false information. Do not click or open unfamiliar links or files at will, be wary of calls or messages involving financial transactions, and verify the identity of the other party and the source of the information.

Protect online transactions. Use a secure network connection (such as encrypted Wi-Fi or VPN), make sure the trading website is reputable and has secure transaction processes and encryption technology, compare prices, read reviews, understand the seller's reputation, and avoid revealing personal information or bank card numbers.

Proactively report fraud. If you encounter fraud, report it to the public security agency in a timely manner, retain evidence and information, contact the local public security agency and provide detailed information.

Identify common scams. Such as "safe account" fraud, online dating fraud, bill rebate fraud, etc. Don't have a "pie in the sky" mentality.

Through these methods, the risk of encountering fraud can be effectively reduced.

The preventive measures for telecommunications fraud are as follows:

1. Try not to click on any links in text messages, and prevent Trojan viruses.

2. "SMS verification codes" sent by banks, third-party platforms, etc. are extremely confidential private information and usually expire automatically after a few minutes, so do not disclose this information to anyone or any institution.

3. The mobile phone does not display the number and does not answer the incoming calls.

4. Never mention bank card numbers, passwords, ID numbers, medical insurance card numbers and other information during phone calls, text messages, and chat software conversations to avoid being used by fraudsters.

5. Please pay attention to any behavior that requires you to transfer or remit money by yourself. If you need to transfer money, you can go to the offline bank counter. If you have any doubts, you can consult the bank counter staff.

6. Beware of phishing websites, and develop the habit of verifying the website domain name and URL when logging into important websites such as banks.

7. Scammers often use the latest hot topics to design scams, such as real estate tax refunds, popular TV shows, etc., which are often used by scammers. Do not take them seriously.

8. If you are really unsure about something, calling 110 is undoubtedly the most reliable means of consultation. Although it troubles the police, this method can still be used when necessary.

To sum up, to prevent fraud, we must always be vigilant and not allow fraudsters to take any opportunity.
