What online scams have you encountered? How to prevent fraud?

Internet fraud is really too common. I was once a victim and I was cheated more than once!

First, WeChat commercial fraud

This kind of fraud is really too common. Almost everyone who likes to buy things online has been cheated. Wechat merchants, friends circle selling goods, shopping does not support third-party platform payment, only transfer money. Once we foolishly transfer the money, he will disappear, not return the message or drag you into the water. In fact, most of the money in this case can't meet the requirements of the local public security bureau to file a case, so the deceived person can only eat Rhizoma Coptidis.

Precautionary measures: reject the WeChat business of unknown origin, and be careful when transferring money! If you don't trust it very much, please stick to the formal channels.

Second, swipe fraud.

This kind of advertisement often appears in major QQ groups or WeChat groups. What courier clerk, Tik Tok praise clerk, typist, threatened to earn 200 a day without leaving home-300 yuan. Once you take a fancy to it, contact them, and they will let you advertise first, then give you a bonus (some don't even give it), and then let you step by step. Some unconscious people clicked the link she gave, paid the money, and finally refused to refund the money for various reasons. Only then did they realize that they had been cheated, and it was too late.

Precautions: Never believe such advertisements. There will be no pie in the sky, pay carefully! Don't click on unfamiliar links! Don't click the strange QR code!

Third, platform fraud.

I once got a platform inexplicably, which looked the same as an ordinary e-commerce platform, but the price was very cheap. I bought a seemingly normal product and found that it arrived immediately. My money was unsecured and went to someone else's account. Then the account could not be posted, and the goods were not sent. Although this platform was finally reported and sealed up, the money of the deceived person can no longer be recovered.

Precautionary measures: shopping must go to the formal platform, which is known to all. Don't be greedy for cheap.

There are tens of millions of online frauds and tens of millions of people who have been cheated. I hope we can learn from our mistakes and be cautious about online consumption.
