Let's take a look at the new routine of vigilance against epidemic fraud.

Beware of the new routine of epidemic fraud. 1 professional explanation "scares" you.

Recently, many netizens received such a short message: it looks particularly professional, but it is actually a trap set by a liar.

These links either hide the Trojan virus or jump to various phishing websites.

As long as you see through the routine and don't click, you won't fall into the trap set by the liar.

Because you didn't do the nucleic acid to "scare" you.

If you don't do nucleic acid, and you happen to receive such information, and then complete the operation step by step according to the "regulations", then you really fall into the trap of a liar.

If you are prompted to enter sensitive personal information such as personal ID number and bank card number after clicking, you obviously want to defraud citizens' personal information!

Cooperate with epidemic prevention work on time, distrust is the best unconventional operation!

Say that you secretly "fool" you.

Sometimes swindlers will call and say that they are from the epidemic prevention station, falsely claiming that someone in your community has been infected with COVID-19, and you have become close contacts.

At first, the scammer only asks about your itinerary on the phone, and then sends you a text message asking you to fill in your personal information and submit the verification code through the link on the text message, thus implementing fraud.

Beware of the new routine of popular fraud II. Beware of these six epidemic fraud routines.

I. nucleic acid testing appointment

Criminals pretend to be public security organs or CDC staff, calling to say that people need to provide nucleic acid test results when their trip is abnormal, so that they can scan the QR code provided by the other party to make an appointment for nucleic acid test, and then the money in the victim's bank account is transferred away. There are also criminals who pretend to be epidemic prevention personnel and lie that they can quickly detect nucleic acids or provide on-site services. For example, criminals call it "rapid nucleic acid test results" and "nucleic acid testing at home", and use the anxiety of some people who urgently need nucleic acid reports to commit fraud.

Second, pretending to be an "epidemiological investigator"

Pretending to be an "epidemiological investigator", adding micro-signal friends and then pulling them into various group chats to cheat netizens to swipe their bills. Some criminals also claimed that investigators inquired about bank accounts and property, asking for bank card numbers, passwords and verification codes, causing property losses. Some people even think that there is a specific drug to prevent the virus, "only 5,800 yuan for three courses of treatment" and "taking it every day will restore health".

Three. Sales of epidemic-related materials

Criminals publish false information such as purchasing medical masks, selling anti-epidemic drugs and materials through the Internet to defraud victims of property. In addition, taking advantage of the psychology that everyone needs epidemic prevention materials, in the name of "free collection", people are attracted to fill in personal information and illegally obtain personal information in the name of free, thus committing crimes.

Fourth, under the guise of online shopping refund.

Affected by the epidemic, the express delivery business in some areas was suspended. After the criminals obtained the order information, they called and lied that the courier could not be delivered during the epidemic, and applied for a refund or compensation for the victim, which led the victim to transfer money according to the requirements of the criminals and gradually entered the fraud trap.

V. False epidemic prevention information

Pretending to be an authoritative organization or department such as the CDC, sending short messages with fraudulent links in groups, or containing virus links in short messages, and filling in personal information such as bank accounts to defraud money on the grounds of cooperating with epidemic prevention and control. For example, "click on the link to make an appointment for vaccination" and "click on the link to receive accident protection for epidemic prevention and control".

6. False investment in COVID-19 vaccine.

The "mystery man" who claimed to master special channels claimed that investing in the production of COVID-19 vaccine could make money and induce people to invest in false platforms.

Police tips:

1. The information related to nucleic acid detection shall be subject to the official notification, so don't trust false information such as private information channels.

2. The dispatcher will not ask unimportant questions such as the bank account number, nor will he ask the verification code or ask for payment.

3. Don't trust strange phone calls, don't click on unknown links, and don't easily disclose personal basic information, bank card information, verification code, etc.

4. Inquiries about nucleic acid test results and vaccination, please go to the official website.

5. Financial investment should go through formal channels, and be vigilant for low-risk and high-yield projects.
