Is WeChat a liar when it receives the verification code?

I received a short message from 950 17, saying that it is the verification code of WeChat change transaction, but there is no transaction: it may be a scam, so don't pay attention. Don't click on unknown web links, and don't fill in important information related to property safety such as social account password, mobile phone verification code and bank card password at will.

The criminals block the signals of the real operator's base station through the pseudo base station, and use the virtual WeChat customer service number "950 17" to send short messages containing fake phishing websites. This is just an excuse for scammers to let their victims click on Trojan links. Wechat officials will not leave their own application functions, and will not fill in or improve any information by SMS, especially information containing private information such as ID card, bank card or account password.

Extended data

The anti-telecom network fraud center received many fraudulent calls pretending to be WeChat customer service. On the grounds that "real name authentication" is needed, the swindler tricked the victim into clicking the Trojan link to defraud the bank card information, and finally took away the verification code, resulting in the bank card being stolen.

Once the victim logs in to the URL link sent by SMS, he will be asked to enter information such as bank card number, login password, ID number, name and mobile phone number. The verification code is the last line of defense for Cary's money. Once the victim enters all the above information on the phishing website, the criminals will easily transfer the deposit in the account.
