1. The verification code is not given to anyone: the verification code sent by the bank and Alipay is extremely private information and cannot be disclosed to anyone.

2. Don't answer if you don't display your mobile phone number: no bank, enterprise, operator or other institution has a phone that doesn't display the number, so if you see an incoming call that doesn't display the number, you must answer it carefully.

3. Insufficient SMS links: Sometimes there are various SMS links in the SMS, but it is difficult for many people to distinguish the authenticity by the SMS number, SMS content and link form of the other party, so try not to click on any link attached to the SMS.

4. Don't mention the card number and password: Never mention the bank card number, ID number, payment password, etc. In telephone, QQ and WeChat conversations, so as not to be stolen and used by fraudsters.
