What should I do if I encounter SMS fraud?

This is what we should do when we encounter SMS fraud:

First of all, the key to dealing with all kinds of SMS fraud is to be vigilant and not to trust the information sent by strangers easily.

Secondly, don't easily reveal your family status and contact information to strangers, and beware of falling into the scam set by criminals.

Finally, don't trust all kinds of offers, especially strange text messages, and don't reply easily.

If you have been deceived, the victim should pay attention to collecting relevant evidence of fraud and report or accuse to the public security organ, people's procuratorate or people's court in time. If there is evidence to prove that the amount of fraud by a criminal suspect or defendant is relatively large, it can be regarded as fraud and the corresponding criminal responsibility should be investigated.

SMS fraud refers to the act of using SMS to defraud money or finance. With the improvement of people's cognitive level, the language and content of short messages change with each passing day, and even the words "Notary Office Notice" appear, which is just the tip of the iceberg of fraudulent short messages. The technical content of SMS fraud is not high. Through a group sender, several short message cards, a mobile phone number segment and a computer (sometimes without a computer), a large number of fraudulent short messages can be sent in groups. SMS fraud uses mobile phone users to reduce their prevention psychology, which is very deceptive and harmful to society, and should constitute fraud.
