I have been sending short messages to my mobile phone recently, followed by a message from China Construction Bank at 95533. What happened? Is it a lie?

This is a fraudulent short message sent by a bank by criminals using a pseudo base station number changer. After receiving such a short message from the official bank number, it is estimated that few people will doubt the authenticity of this short message. Because 95533 is the official number of China Construction Bank, one of the four state-owned banks, the security measures are the highest among financial institutions.

Pseudo base station

The main form of "pseudo base station" fraud is to send fraudulent short messages to customers by using pseudo base stations and number change software disguised as the customer service number of a bank or communication service organization, such as expired customer ID card, frozen account, bank upgrade, point redemption, etc. Generally, there are phishing websites or phone numbers in short messages, and the sending number of short messages is exactly the same as the customer service number of relevant official service agencies, which is very confusing and customers are easily deceived. It is in this way that fraudsters obtain the personal identity, bank account, transaction verification code and other private information of customers, so as to achieve the purpose of stealing customers' funds.

In view of the fraudulent forms of "pseudo base stations", the masses should take the following preventive measures:

1. Distinguish fraud from "form". The SMS sending number is forged by the number changer of the pseudo base station and calls itself "95533", which is easy to cause visual confusion. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully identify the content of short messages. If you ask to log on to a website, such as a. CCT. ICU, you can accurately judge it as a fraudulent SMS. All short messages sent by CCB number 95533 do not carry any form of website link.

2. Identify fraud from "content". If you encounter words such as reminding customers that their ID cards have expired, freezing accounts, upgrading banks, increasing credit card quotas, verifying and authenticating personal information of banks, and redeeming points, you should be vigilant. If necessary, it can be verified through CCB outlets or by calling the official telephone number 95533.

3. Prevent fraud from "operation". If you accidentally click on the website, the other party asks for personal identity information, bank account number, transaction password, SMS verification code and other information. Stop the operation immediately and don't leave important personal information on any suspicious websites, QQ or WeChat conversations. At the same time, SMS verification codes sent by banks and third-party payment institutions are very important transaction verification information, and shall not be disclosed to any institution or individual. Any solicitation is fraud.

4. Stop fraud from "action". If you have leaked personal identity information to fraudsters, you should report it to the public security organ at the first time.
