Notes:

Currently, a large number of mobile electronic financial services such as online banking and Alipay, as well as many apps, have launched mobile phone binding functions. Major banks have also launched mobile text messaging service platforms one after another, and defaulted the current user of the mobile phone number to a bank card number or payment platform user. As long as the number is used, online shopping, online transfers, password changes, email checking and other operations can be completed.

Not only that, some third-party payment institutions have cooperated with multiple banks to launch online fast payment services. Quick payment does not require entering the bank card transaction password, and some only require entering the verification code sent to the bound mobile phone number to make the payment.

Police officers handling the case said that when some citizens deactivated or canceled their mobile phone numbers, they did not cancel the relevant binding services in time, and mobile phone card numbers can be recycled after a certain period of time.
