What should we do if we are defrauded when booking tickets online?

When we discover that we have been defrauded when booking tickets online, we should try our best to contact the bank corresponding to the bank card we used to transfer money, and try our best to recover the money. If it is a non-deposit transfer via online banking, it often cannot arrive immediately. You can immediately bring your bank card and ID card to the bank counter to communicate and apply to cancel the transfer. If it is an over-the-counter transfer and remittance, if you find out that you have been deceived immediately after handling the transaction, you will immediately ask the counter to cancel the remittance. Generally, if your account is the same as that of the scammer, it is still possible to recover the money. Regardless of the situation, the chance of success is low, but it is indeed possible to recover. If there are successful precedents, you can try. Otherwise, there is almost no chance of recovery. Next, call the police immediately. Although many ticket fraud cases cannot be solved and the defrauded money cannot be recovered after being reported to the police, and the individual amounts involved in many ticket fraud cases often do not meet the requirements for filing a case, and after reporting to the police, only records are recorded but cannot be filed for investigation. However, the scammers will continue to If a large number of crimes are committed, as long as all the deceived persons call the police, a large number of police records will be formed, which may prompt local police to jointly file cases for investigation. This has successful precedents. If you encounter a ticket booking website fraud, you can report the fraudulent website to the China Internet Illegal and Bad Information Reporting Center. Use the power of the reporting center to prompt the relevant departments to close the website and urge the police to investigate. How to prevent online fraud

Identify true and false information Many friends have encountered such a scene. They just booked a flight not long ago, and their mobile phone received a text message about flight cancellation and contact to change the flight. The text message format and the sender try their best to imitate the official tone, making it difficult to tell whether it is true or false. After contacting the phone number provided in the text message, the fake staff will ask us to transfer money to the scammer's bank account or Alipay, and tell us that it will be a change fee. At this time, be sure not to fall for the scam. You should quickly contact the airline through official channels to confirm whether the flight has been cancelled, and ignore the scam messages. Look for the official website. When we buy tickets and book hotels online, our identity information will be stored in the database of the ticket booking website. In recent years, there have been many cases of website databases being stolen by hackers. Once the database is leaked, hackers have our private information. This private information is sold to scammers, so it's no wonder we receive scam calls that easily reveal our personal information. I would like to remind everyone that when buying tickets online, you must look for the official website and choose formal and legal channels to make travel arrangements. When receiving calls or text messages from scammers, be sure to identify them carefully and call official customer service again to confirm the situation. This avoids the double loss of personal privacy information and property.
