When did the fraud in Myanmar begin?

The origin of fraud in northern Myanmar can be traced back to the 1990s, when the Myanmar government practiced military dictatorship, with backward economic development and unstable social order. Some lawless elements use the media and communication networks controlled by the government to carry out fishing fraud, telecom fraud, online fraud and other activities at home and abroad to defraud innocent people of their trust and money.

It is understood that some ethnic minority areas in northern Myanmar have become the key activity areas of fraud criminals because of their backward economy, low education level and unstable social security. These criminals usually use false identities, false information and other means to lie to the victims that they are government officials, businessmen, philanthropists and other identities in order to gain trust and money.

In addition, the northern part of Myanmar has convenient transportation with neighboring countries such as China and Thailand, and has also become an activity area for transnational fraud criminals. These criminals usually use the internet, text messages, telephone calls and other means to defraud the victim's property by means of false investment and payment.

Ways to prevent fraud in Myanmar

First of all, we must realize the seriousness and harmfulness of telecom fraud. Fraud gangs usually use the victims' greed, curiosity, sympathy and other psychology to set traps and induce the victims to take the bait. Therefore, we should always be vigilant, improve our awareness of prevention, and don't trust strangers' words and promises easily.

2. Protect personal information

Fraud gangs often collect personal information of victims through various channels in order to better implement fraud. So pay attention to protect personal information and don't disclose it to others at will. Pay attention to network security when using the Internet, and don't leave personal information on unsafe websites. In addition, we should regularly check the security settings of personal electronic devices to ensure that they are not hacked.

3. Learn to identify fraudulent means.

There are many fraudulent means, so we should learn to identify them and avoid being deceived. Common fraud means include: impersonating acquaintances, relatives and friends, public security law and other personnel fraud; Using false investments, part-time jobs, gambling and other temptations to cheat; Fraud in the name of charity, aid, etc. Once you find these signs, you should be alert immediately and don't be credulous.

4. Reject the temptation of high returns

Fraud gangs usually use high salaries and high returns as bait to attract victims. We should treat these temptations rationally and realize that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

In the face of these temptations, we should keep calm, conduct full investigation and understanding, and don't be deceived for petty gain.
