Making use of the epidemic situation for telephone fraud

Making use of the epidemic situation for telephone fraud has always existed. Many people have little knowledge of this new type of fraud routine, and it is inevitable that they will be defrauded of money. This is unacceptable to us. Let's share the telephone fraud using the epidemic situation for everyone. Using the epidemic situation to conduct telephone fraud 1

1. Pretending to be an e-commerce refund fraud.

due to the epidemic, many areas can't deliver goods, so some e-commerce companies choose to delay delivery or refund, which gives scammers an opportunity. They buy a lot of online shopping information through illegal means, and then call or send text messages to buyers, pretending to be merchants, and falsely claiming that buyers' orders are affected by the epidemic or are in areas at risk of the epidemic, which leads to delayed delivery and requires buyers to follow the instructions and refund.

they will ask the buyer to avoid the formal trading platform, add the buyer's QQ, WeChat or Alipay, get the buyer's bank card account number, password, SMS verification code and other important information, or send a phishing website link, QR code and other ways to transfer the buyer's money.

Reminder: We all need to verify through official channels before we receive a call claiming to be a merchant's claim for goods quality problems, lost express delivery, etc.

2. Pretending to be a vaccine census investigator.

Liars will pretend to be investigators, ask us to add WeChat friends in the name of community workers, and then drag everyone into a group. Then the group will send out some information about earning sideline business, such as swiping bills. Some people are tempted to see that they can earn some income, so they fall into the trap.

Reminder: swiping is illegal. When others need to get our mobile phone number or WeChat, we have to be vigilant and pay attention to protecting personal information security.

3. claim that the health code is abnormal.

Liars will pretend to be the staff of the epidemic prevention and control center, falsely claiming that our health codes and test reports are abnormal and asking us to go to the public security organs for verification. After gaining our trust, the swindlers will take the initiative to transfer their calls to their fake public security bureau, and then defraud money on the grounds of checking funds and clearing suspects.

Note: Public security organs will not handle cases online, let alone have money dealings with those involved. This kind of behavior of asking for checking funds on the grounds of epidemic prevention and control is fraud, so we need to be vigilant.

4. False appointment for vaccination.

Liars will pretend to be CDC staff, send false vaccination information in COVID-19 via SMS, and entice victims to click on false links with Trojan websites to obtain personal information for fraud.

note: if you receive a short message with an unknown link, don't click it, and delete it as soon as possible.

5. Lie that you can do nucleic acid detection quickly.

Some citizens are anxious to do nucleic acid testing, but they are afraid of trouble and don't want to wait in line, so they believe in the so-called fast track. The scammers swindled them in the name of "getting the nucleic acid test results in half an hour at the fastest price increase".

Note: There is no fast track for nucleic acid detection. Don't trust the gossip on the Internet. Be sure to go to a regular hospital.

At present, there are many methods of scammers. We should always be vigilant and pay attention to protecting our information security. Don't trust those who add contact information and send linked information easily. Making use of the epidemic situation to conduct telephone fraud 2

fraud 1

claiming health code and abnormal epidemic situation

The criminals call themselves "epidemic situation personnel", CDC personnel, volunteers, etc., falsely claiming that the nucleic acid results of citizens are abnormal, or calling the victims "close contacts", asking for personal information such as ID cards and bank accounts on the grounds of cooperating with epidemic prevention work, or stealing citizens by illegal links through Trojan horses.

What's more, the victim is required to go to the public security organ for verification. After breaking through the victim's psychological defense line, the criminals offered to transfer the phone to the "Public Security Bureau" to defraud money on the grounds of checking the funds and clearing the suspects.

Anti-fraud tip:

The epidemic prevention and control staff will not ask for information unrelated to epidemic prevention and control, nor will they ask the public for bank card number, password, verification code, etc. Public security organs will not handle cases online, let alone have money dealings with those involved. It is fraud to ask for funds to be checked on the grounds of economic crimes, illegal withdrawal of social security funds and obstruction of epidemic prevention and control. Once you encounter such a situation, you must be vigilant and don't believe it.

Scam 2

Spending money to buy a "fast track" for nucleic acid testing

Some people who are anxious to do nucleic acid testing but are afraid of the trouble and don't want to wait in line blindly believe that there is a "fast track" for nucleic acid testing, and criminals commit fraud in the name of "increasing the price for half an hour at the earliest".

Anti-fraud tip:

The nucleic acid test results are issued by qualified hospitals or third-party testing institutions certified by the health department. Don't trust gossip and so-called "private channels" on the Internet.

Scam III

Pretending to be a medical institution fraud

The criminals took advantage of the situation that the elderly living alone could not contact their children in time during the closure of the community, pretending to be a medical institution, falsely claiming that the elderly had been infected with Covid-19 and needed to be treated and transported, and demanding the victim to pay the "treatment fee" to the designated account to commit fraud.

Anti-fraud tip:

If Covid-19 positive is detected, it will be transported to a designated hospital for treatment by the CDC, and retrospective investigation will be carried out. You will not call back to inform you to take specific drugs at home. The epidemic prevention and control headquarters and CDC will not sell the so-called specific drugs for treating COVID-19 to the masses, and the nucleic acid test results can be inquired through official channels such as Alipay health code. If necessary, conduct verification through community workers, and be wary of being deceived.

Scam IV

Fraud of "Receiving Home Isolation Subsidy"

The criminals pretend to be the staff of relevant state departments, and send text messages or e-mails, saying that according to the national policy, it is necessary to scan the code to register and receive the home isolation subsidy, drain the victim to the "phishing website", fill in the bank card number, password, verification code and other information, and steal the brush.

Anti-fraud tip:

The government and functional departments will not require individuals to provide detailed information such as bank card number and password, so they must be on guard and call the official number for verification. Please don't click on the links related to financial subsidies in emails or text messages, let alone provide personal information.

scam 5

can the courier be claimed if it is detected as "COVID-19 positive"?

on the afternoon of 1th, Ms. Yang received a phone call claiming to be the customer service of express delivery, saying that her express delivery was tested "COVID-19 positive" during transportation and needed to be destroyed, but she could make a claim.

Subsequently, Ms. Yang added the other party's WeChat, downloaded and installed the "A Cloud Conference" APP at the request of the other party, and enjoyed it on the screen. The other party claimed that only when Ms. Yang emptied the deposit in Alipay could she make a claim. Therefore, Ms. Yang transferred the money in Alipay to the bank account provided by the other party at the request of the other party, and borrowed money from several microfinance platforms to transfer money. When Ms. Yang realized that she might be cheated, she found that she had been deleted from WeChat by the other party.

Anti-fraud tip:

If there is a problem with the online shopping products, you must contact them through the official website, involving information such as ID number, bank card number and password, so be careful.

The police reminded that the epidemic prevention and control staff will never cover deposit information, bank account number, credit card information, loan information, password, verification code, etc., and will never ask you to transfer money or remit money. The general public must protect personal information such as bank card passwords and SMS verification codes, and do not disclose them to others.
