Four common scams in second-hand mobile phone transactions, have you ever been deceived?

After returning from the National Day holiday, many users claimed to be suffering from "vacation syndrome". Not only were they distracted from work, but they were also less vigilant and could easily fall into the trap of scammers. Tencent Mobile Manager security expert Yang Qibo reminds users that they need to be extra vigilant after the long holiday to avoid being deceived by the following four types of scams. Scam 1: Text messages for consumption in other places induce transfers and remittances on the grounds that "identity information has been fraudulently used". When traveling to other places, it is inevitable to use credit cards to make purchases. However, after the holidays, some users will receive text messages for overseas purchases that are inconsistent with the actual consumption amount. After calling back, they fall into the trap of scammers. The fraudster will verify the person's personal identity and bank card information, ask the person to call the police on the grounds that "the identity information has been used fraudulently", and then pretend to be a staff member of the Public Security Bureau to request a transfer. Therefore, when you receive a text message similar to "consumption in another place", please do not believe it, and do not directly call back the phone number in the text message. Instead, you should first call the bank's official hotline or go to a nearby branch for verification. At the same time, Tencent Mobile Manager can intercept "non-local consumption" fraudulent text messages.

Since it is inconvenient to receive express delivery when traveling during the holidays, everyone has experienced a wave of express delivery peaks after the holiday. At this time, the scammer will pretend to be a courier company, call the user to inform the user that the courier has not been picked up, and take the opportunity to ask for personal information such as name, phone number, ID number, etc., in order to further defraud the customer. What's more, fraudsters will use the excuse that "the express delivery contains drugs and other contraband" to "fake the public prosecutor's law" and ask the parties to transfer money to relevant accounts. If you receive such a call, it is recommended that you do not "self-report your home address" easily. You can first consult with the official express delivery company for confirmation, and do not conduct transfers, remittances, etc. In addition, Tencent Mobile Manager security expert Yang Qibo suggested that users can enable intelligent interception mode through Tencent Mobile Manager to automatically intercept harassing and fraudulent calls.

Recently, after car owner Xiao Wang received a text message about "violation of traffic regulations in another place", he clicked on the link for violation inquiry and downloaded the software with the suffix .apk. Later, he received a text message reminding him to transfer 1,000 yuan from his bank card. Like Xiao Wang, many users have received text messages about "violating regulations in other places" before. So how to distinguish the authenticity and avoid being deceived? In fact, if a vehicle commits a traffic violation in other places, its violation information will be recorded by the system, and the owner can check it at the traffic control department where the vehicle is located. In addition, the real violation information is sent by the authoritative platform, not the mobile phone number, and does not contain links. Therefore, users traveling by car during the National Day holiday should be careful to identify the authenticity of text messages if they receive "violation of regulations in other places". They can also use Tencent Mobile Manager to intercept and filter fraudulent text messages, identify phishing URLs, and detect Trojan viruses to prevent security issues. risk.

After the holidays, many people may receive photos of holiday parties or weddings. What you need to be vigilant about is that scammers may take this opportunity to send fraudulent text messages and place phishing URLs in the text messages. Once you click on the link, your phone will be infected with viruses, your bank card information will also be leaked, and your money will be at risk of being stolen.
