What are the common ways of red envelope virus fraud?

Common red envelope virus fraud methods include "forwarding to get a red envelope", "filling in information to get a red envelope" and "red envelope plug-in".

Any red envelope with personal information is fraud. This kind of red envelope usually shows that as long as you fill in personal information such as ID number, bank card number and mobile phone number, you can get a certain amount of red envelope.

This is usually a phishing website made by fraudsters. Once filled in truthfully, not only is there no money in the account, but the change in the mobile phone and even the money in the bank card may be dangerous. So, don't click this red envelope.

Forwarding and receiving red envelopes means that fraudsters disguise phishing links or Trojan viruses as red envelopes, such as receiving red envelopes to watch the latest movies for free. After clicking, users will be induced to share with friends or WeChat groups. Finally, the clicker will not only get the so-called red envelope, but also get personal browsing records and personal information.

Methods to prevent red envelope fraud

Don't click on the unknown link easily and don't enter any personal information in it. Users who use Android phones should download mobile phone security software in time and regularly check and kill viruses. If the mobile phone can't send and receive SMS normally after clicking the relevant link, it is necessary to pay attention to whether it is infected with the payment virus.

The public should regularly modify the passwords of online shopping, online banking and payment accounts, and individual important accounts need to use independent passwords to prevent criminals from committing fraud after collecting personal information.

Be cautious about huge red envelopes. As we all know, the maximum amount of peer-to-peer WeChat red packets is generally 200. If you receive a red envelope of 666 or 888, don't be fooled by this big red envelope, it is likely to be fraud.
