The police summed up the words of the liar pretending to be an acquaintance. How should we be alert to this scam?

At present, there are many ways for scammers, and even many scammers will pretend to be acquaintances to borrow money. Moreover, this routine is very common. Many scammers will use some illegal means to get some personal information, change their avatars and names to others' looks, even imitate their circle of friends exactly, or pretend to be leaders. Then, after adding friends, they will reveal some information about themselves, let the other person put down their guard, and then they will ask for money. Even this routine is endless.

Borrowing money from a fake acquaintance is because acquaintances have basic trust, so once they find that the other person's information can be called right, many people will relax their vigilance, choose to trust each other, and then transfer money or lend money to each other, but they don't know that they have fallen into the trap of a liar at this time, which may eventually lead to the collapse of trust between friends and there is no way to recover their money. This situation must be paid attention to in peacetime.

Stay alert. If you meet an acquaintance who borrows money from you, be sure to check the other person's information, ask the other person's home address or some relatively private information in detail, preferably the kind that only you two know, so as to determine the other person's identity. Don't listen to swindlers and transfer money easily. You'd better call for verification. At this time, the liar may come up with various ways to indicate that it is not convenient to answer the phone. At this time, you should be on your guard, because he is probably a liar, so you dare not answer it.

You should also pay attention to this situation at ordinary times. Be sure to ask each other's information in detail. Don't blindly believe each other after hearing their names. It's best to borrow money instead of face-to-face by mobile phone. If there is no other way, you must verify your identity, call a friend, or open a video to personally confirm that it is the other party, and then transfer money, or once you find a loophole in the liar's words, you must be vigilant and it is best to reach an agreement with your friend.
