Use the epidemic situation for telephone fraud.

Use the epidemic situation for telephone fraud.

Telephone fraud by using the epidemic situation has always existed. Many people know little about this new type of fraud routine, and it is inevitable that they will be cheated. This is unacceptable to us. Let's share the use of the epidemic to conduct telephone fraud.

Using the epidemic situation to conduct telephone fraud 1 1, pretending to be an e-commerce refund fraud.

Because of the epidemic, many areas can't deliver goods, and some e-commerce companies choose to delay delivery or refund, which gives scammers an opportunity. They bought a large amount of online shopping information through illegal means, then called or sent text messages to buyers, pretending to be merchants, falsely claiming that buyers' orders were affected by the epidemic or in areas with epidemic risk, which led to delayed delivery and demanded that buyers refund according to the guidelines.

They will ask the buyer to avoid the formal trading platform, add the buyer's QQ, WeChat or Alipay, take the buyer's bank card account number, password, SMS verification code and other important information, or send a phishing website link, QR code and other ways to transfer the buyer's money.

Reminder: We all need to verify through official channels before we receive a phone call claiming to be a merchant, and make a claim for product quality problems, lost express delivery, etc.

2. Pretend to be a vaccine census investigator.

Liars will pretend to be investigators, let us add WeChat friends in the name of community workers, and then pull everyone into a group. Then the group will send some information about earning sideline business, such as brushing the bill. Some people are tempted at the sight of earning some income, so they fall into the trap.

Reminder: it is illegal to swipe the bill. When others need to get our mobile phone number or WeChat, we have to be vigilant and pay attention to protecting the safety of personal information.

3. claiming that the health code is not normal.

Liars will pretend to be the staff of the epidemic prevention and control center, falsely claiming that our health code and test report are abnormal and asking us to go to the public security organ for verification. After gaining our trust, scammers will take the initiative to transfer their calls to their fake public security bureau, and then defraud money on the grounds of checking funds and clearing suspects.

Note: Public security organs will not handle cases online, and will not have money dealings with those involved. This behavior of asking for inspection funds on the grounds of epidemic prevention and control belongs to fraud and needs vigilance.

4. False appointment for vaccination.

Liars will pretend to be CDC staff, send false COVID-19 vaccination information through SMS, and induce victims to click on false Trojan website links to obtain personal information for fraud.

Note: If you receive a short message with an unknown link, don't click it, and delete it as soon as possible.

5. Lie that you can do nucleic acid detection quickly.

Some citizens are anxious to do nucleic acid testing, but they are afraid of trouble and don't want to queue up, so they believe in the so-called fast track. The swindlers swindled them in the name of "getting the nucleic acid test results at the fastest price increase for half an hour".

Note: There is no fast track for nucleic acid detection. Don't believe the gossip on the Internet. Be sure to go to a regular hospital.

At present, the means of swindlers are endless. We should always be vigilant, pay attention to protecting our information security, and don't trust those who add contact information and send link information easily.

Using the epidemic situation for telephone fraud 2 fraud 1

Fraudulent claims of health codes and abnormal traffic regulation

The criminals call themselves "migrant workers", CDC staff, volunteers, etc. , falsely claiming that the citizen's nucleic acid result is abnormal, or the victim is a "close contact", asking for personal information such as ID card and bank account on the grounds of cooperating with epidemic prevention work, or stealing citizen's private information through illegal links such as Trojan virus, etc., and conducting illegal transactions.

What's more, the victim is required to go to the public security organ for verification. After breaking through the victim's psychological defense line, the criminals offered to transfer the phone to the "Public Security Bureau" to defraud money on the grounds of checking funds and clearing suspects.

Anti-fraud tips:

The epidemic prevention and control staff will not ask the public for information unrelated to epidemic prevention and control, nor will they ask the public for bank card numbers, passwords, verification codes, etc. Public security organs will not handle cases online, let alone have money dealings with the people involved. Asking to check funds on the grounds of economic crimes, illegal withdrawal of social security funds, and obstruction of epidemic prevention and control is a fraud. Once you encounter such a situation, you must be vigilant and don't believe it.

Scam 2

Spend money on the "fast track" of nucleic acid detection

Some people who are anxious to do nucleic acid testing and afraid of trouble are unwilling to wait in line. They blindly believe that there is a "fast track" for nucleic acid testing, and criminals commit fraud in the name of "the fastest price increase of half an hour".

Anti-fraud tips:

The nucleic acid test results are issued by hospitals or third-party testing institutions certified by the health department. Don't trust gossip and so-called "private channels" on the Internet.

Scam 3

Pretending to be a medical institution fraud

The criminals took advantage of the fact that the elderly living alone could not contact their children in time during the period of community closure, pretending to be a medical institution, falsely claiming that the elderly had been infected with COVID-19 virus and needed treatment and transshipment, and asked the victims to pay the "treatment fee" to a designated account to commit fraud.

Anti-fraud tips:

If the COVID-19 test is positive, it will be transferred to the designated hospital for treatment by the CDC, and a retrospective investigation will be conducted, and you will not be notified to take specific drugs at home by phone. The epidemic prevention and control headquarters and CDC will not sell the so-called specific drugs for treating COVID-19 to the masses, and the nucleic acid test results can be inquired through official channels such as Alipay Health Code. If necessary, verify through community workers, and be alert to being deceived.

Scam 4

"Receiving home isolation subsidies" fraud

Criminals pretend to be staff members of relevant state departments and send text messages or emails, saying that according to national policies, home isolation subsidies need to be registered and collected by scanning codes, draining victims to "phishing websites" and filling in bank card numbers, passwords, verification codes and other information to carry out theft.

Anti-fraud tips:

The government and functional departments will not ask individuals to provide detailed information such as bank card number and password, so they must be vigilant and call the official number to verify. Please don't click on the links related to financial subsidies in emails or text messages, let alone provide personal information.

Scam five

Can I claim if the courier is found to be "COVID-19 positive"?

On the afternoon of 10, Ms. Yang, a citizen, received a phone call claiming to be the customer service of express delivery, saying that her express delivery was tested as "COVID-19 positive" during transportation and needed to be destroyed, but she could claim compensation.

Subsequently, Ms. Yang added the other party's WeChat and downloaded and installed the "A Cloud Conference" APP at the request of the other party to enjoy the screen. The other party claimed that only when Ms. Yang emptied the deposit in Alipay could she make a claim. Therefore, at the request of the other party, Ms. Yang transferred the money in Alipay to the bank account provided by the other party, and borrowed money from several microfinance platforms to transfer money. When Ms. Yang realized that she might be cheated, she found that she had been deleted from WeChat by the other party.

Anti-fraud tips:

If you encounter problems with online shopping, you must contact official website, involving ID number, bank card number, password and other information. Be careful.

The police reminded that the epidemic prevention and control staff will never cover deposit information, bank account numbers, credit card information, loan information, passwords, verification codes, etc. And you will never be asked to transfer money or remit money. The general public must protect personal information such as bank card passwords and SMS verification codes, and do not disclose them to others.
