The main problems of spam messages

During the two sessions, many deputies "offered suggestions and suggestions", saying that harassing phone calls and text messages became more and more serious, and the country urgently needed to introduce a personal information protection law to protect citizens' privacy. The survey found that citizens' personal information will involve many aspects, such as getting a permit, getting a card, online shopping, and seeing a doctor. Many businesses obtain citizens' personal information in various names, but many citizens' personal information protection awareness is weak, which leads to leakage.

Short messages are almost exclusively used for advertising, and 90% of them are spam messages.

"Existing home with sea view, small apartment finely decorated, please contact us for details", "BMW Mercedes-Benz Audi is 90% new car, with a minimum of 65,438+10,000" ... Look at your mobile phone, I believe that most people's short messages are spam messages about selling houses, buying cars, discounts, promotions, even invoices and loans, some of which are sent by mobile phone numbers, and most of them are "65,438". More than 90% of these messages are "received".

Mr. Zhu left personal information when a real estate opened. After that, his mobile phone received several "selling short messages" almost every day, which was not the real estate he was concerned about at all. Later, it evolved into a number of real estate agents calling him to sell the house.

The reporter found that many citizens, like Mr. Zhu, will inexplicably receive various sales messages. Today, SMS is gradually replaced by WeChat, and the SMS function seems to be a "special promotion" for businesses. "Today, text messages are rarely used to communicate with people. More than 90% of text messages in mobile phones are spam messages. " Some citizens lamented.

According to the survey, the cost of sending a short message in batches in Yantai is only 30 cents, and the operation is simple. You can send short messages to 1000 mobile phone numbers in batches at a time, and the content is not reviewed.

Fraud messages are more harmful, and students and the elderly are gullible groups.

In addition to advertisements, many "spam messages" cheat in the name of winning prizes, which makes some people who are waiting for "the pie to fall from the sky" suffer big losses. Yingzhou Street Police Station in Laishan is close to Yanda University, Shandong Technology and Business University and Binzhou Medical College, and students often report that they have been cheated by "winning short messages".

"Winning SMS fraud is often cross-provincial or even transnational, and it is very difficult to detect." The police at Yingzhou Street Police Station told reporters that police stations and schools often carry out anti-fraud propaganda, but many students are still fooled. "For example, many students rent a house, and some fraudulent text messages let the rent be charged to a card in the name of the landlord. Some students will make money at will without verification after receiving such short messages. " The police at the police station told reporters that this kind of short message can't be prevented, and only "don't believe" will not be cheated.

Besides students, some middle-aged and elderly people are also gullible groups. For example, a liar will say, "Your bank card is used for money laundering. Please transfer the money to a safe account." Some elderly people lack social experience and fall into the trap of swindlers step by step. According to the reporter's investigation, such fraudulent text messages or phone calls are often "mass-sent" without specific goals, and scammers cast nets to "catch" the dupes.

Personal details have been leaked, and the leakage channels are worrying.

Through the continuous publicity of the media, many citizens' anti-fraud awareness has been enhanced, and they no longer believe in the good thing of "pie falling from the sky". However, if a "national department" staff can easily tell your name, address, license plate number and even the date of birth of your child, the credibility will be greatly increased, but it may still be a trick of a liar. The public can't help but ask, where do these information scammers come from?

Less than a month after the child was born, Ms. Zhou, a citizen, has not been free to "sit on the moon". In addition to receiving a phone call to promote baby products, she also received a phone call from the staff of Jinan Finance Bureau to quickly receive the "newborn subsidy". "The other party said my name and home address first, and also knew the time, place and blood type of my child's birth. I was really shocked at the time. " Ms. Zhou said that the other party claimed to be a staff member of Jinan Finance Bureau, and had a newborn subsidy policy, which allowed him to receive 4,800 yuan. After some conversation, the other party asked Ms. Zhou to operate on the ATM and put the money into her bank card, but there should be a balance of more than 4,800 yuan in the card. As soon as she heard that she was going to transfer money by ATM, Ms. Zhou realized that it was a scam, but she couldn't figure out how a liar could know such detailed information about herself and her children.

The staff of the Municipal Health Bureau said that it is just a new trick for scammers to often receive calls from citizens asking about the "newborn subsidy" policy. In addition, less than a week after the death of the elderly at home, the staff of the "National Civil Affairs Bureau" called to subsidize the "funeral expenses"; Before the new car goes on the market, someone will take the initiative to call you to ask for a "car purchase tax refund" ... These calls can accurately tell the situation of the parties' families, increase credibility, and people can't help but doubt the leak channel.

There have been media reports that some hospital nurses keep patient information and sell it to enterprises that promote health care products. After several changes, the information falls into the hands of fraudsters. During the interview, many parents who received "newborn" fraud calls suspected that the hospital had leaked personal information.

Improve your awareness of prevention and make privacy really hidden.

In addition to filling in citizen information when handling bank cards and buying air tickets, you should also leave your phone number and ID number when handling business membership cards, and even leave a message when receiving "coupons".

"I ate in a shopping mall downtown, and 100 got an extra golden ticket for 50 yuan. As a result, after receiving the voucher, the staff asked me to leave a message and fill in my name and contact number. " Ms. Yu, a citizen, said that she felt at that time why she had to leave personal information when she got the coupon. The other party said it was to count the number of people. As a result, Ms. Yu received the promotion information of the store within a few days after leaving her phone number. "In fact, it is for promotion. I will leave a message in the future and leave a fake phone number. " Ms. Yu said helplessly.

In addition, many details of life are also easy to reveal personal information. Throw the courier box at will, leave the parking reminder card in the car all the time, and fill in the registration information online at will ... These seemingly insignificant behaviors will lead to the loss of personal information. According to the report issued by sogou Number Communication and other organizations, the total number of harassing phone calls in China exceeded 20 billion, and many CPPCC members at the two sessions of the National People's Congress also brought a proposal of "protecting personal information security". At present, there is no perfect Personal Information Protection Law in China, and the legislative process is long. Only by raising citizens' awareness of prevention can privacy be truly "hidden".
