As the Qingming Festival holiday approaches, everyone should not relax their guard against fraud and provide opportunities for criminals to take advantage of while busy with activities such as memorial services, outings, and recreational activities. We hope that everyone can timely grasp and improve their ability to prevent fraud through recent cases of electronic fraud and tips. Fake ticketing fraudsters use social media platforms to post low-priced ticketing information, attract the attention of victims, and fabricate lies about "internal ticketing channels" to make victims transfer money to purchase tickets, and disappear after receiving the purchase price. Typical case: Ms. Lin planned to go home to pay respects to her ancestors when she saw someone selling high-speed rail tickets at a low price on a certain social media platform. Ms. Lin contacted the other party, who claimed to have an "internal channel" to obtain low-priced tickets. Ms. Lin believed it to be true and transferred 300 yuan to the unfamiliar bank account provided by the other party to purchase the ticket. After making the payment, Ms. Lin realized that she had been blacklisted when she contacted the other party again. The police remind you to purchase tickets through legitimate platforms such as 12306. Be cautious when making payments: Do not easily transfer funds to unfamiliar accounts. Ticket refund and change fraud scammers impersonate airline customer service, send refund and change notices, guide victims to add instant messaging tools such as QQ, communicate privately, and use fraudulent links to ask victims to fill in bank card numbers, passwords, verification codes, and other information. After illegally obtaining the victim's information, they fraudulently swipe the bank card. Typical case: Mr. Sun purchased a plane ticket to return home, but later received a text message stating that his booked flight had been cancelled due to mechanical failure. He could contact customer service according to the information provided to process a refund, change, and compensation of 300 yuan. Mr. Sun contacted the so-called customer service and added him as a QQ friend as requested. The customer service sent a fraudulent link asking Mr. Sun to fill in his bank card information and verification code for a refund. After Mr. Sun's operation, 2800 yuan in his card was stolen and transferred. When he contacted again, it was already blocked. The police remind to verify the authenticity: call the official phone number of the airline company in a timely manner to confirm. Be wary of links: Do not click on any unofficial channel links. Cautious provision: involving personal and property information. Concert tickets and performance related fraudsters impersonate ticketing personnel with special channels, collect deposits first, and then set new excuses, constantly demanding victims to transfer money. Typical case: Mr. Li plans to watch a well-known singer's concert and search for low-priced tickets online. One claims to have an internal channel "ticketing personnel" who can provide low-priced ticket sources. The other party asked Mr. Li to pay a deposit of 100 yuan first, stating that he would issue the ticket after receiving the deposit. After Mr. Li made the payment, the other party lured him into transferring 500 yuan and disappearing, citing system upgrades and the need to pay additional transaction fees. The police suggest choosing a legitimate channel: purchase tickets through the official ticketing platform. Do not transfer funds easily: avoid making payments to unknown individuals or platforms. Be cautious: Be alert to abnormal requests, verify more, and make payments later. ETC and traffic fraud scammers take advantage of the peak travel season during holidays to impersonate ETC companies and send "ETC suspension" and "illegal reminder" text messages, inducing victims to click on phishing websites or make phone calls in order to steal personal information. Typical case: Mr. Li, the car owner, received a text message stating that his ETC card was abnormal and needed to click on the link to handle it. Mr. Li clicked the link without screening, and then filled in the name, ID card number, bank card number, password and other information as required. Soon the bank card was stolen and swiped thousands of yuan. The police remind that ETC status can be checked through the official app or customer service phone number, without clicking on the SMS link; Traffic violation information is verified through the Traffic Management 12123 APP, and the verification code is not leaked. Pretending to be an acquaintance and seeking emergency help, scammers obtain the victim's mobile phone number and network information through illegal channels, disguise themselves as mature people, and induce transfer of funds to provide assistance in emergency situations such as sudden illness and traffic accidents. They also use the victim's trust and sympathy for acquaintances to urge them to transfer funds quickly. Typical case: Mr. Li received a strange text message from someone who claimed to be his old friend Wang. Wang asked Mr. Li to quickly transfer 5000 yuan to a designated account and promised to return it later, citing that he was in a different city and urgently needed medical expenses due to a sudden illness. Old friend "spoke up, and Mr. Li transferred the money without much thought. Afterwards, Mr. Li contacted Mr. Wang and found out that he had been deceived. The police remind that upon receiving such information, it is necessary to verify the identity of the other party through various means and use other methods to contact acquaintances for confirmation. When it comes to money transfers, be vigilant and verify more before taking action. Fraudsters use the banner of professional sacrificial sweeping services to deceive victims, claiming to have high-quality services and promising to watch sacrificial sweeping live. After receiving the money, they blacklist the victims. Typical case: Ms. Zhang received a message before Qingming Festival, stating that she could provide professional memorial services. The other party claims to be experienced and able to provide flowers, offerings, and live stream the ritual process. Ms. Zhang was unable to go in person, so she contacted the other party and paid a service fee of 500 yuan through WeChat transfer. On the day of the scheduled festival, when Ms. Zhang contacted the other party, she found that WeChat had been blocked. The police remind you to choose a legitimate platform: for proxy sweeping, you should choose a legitimate institution or a reputable merchant. Verify service details: Understand specific arrangements in advance to avoid blind payment. The fraud fraudster pretending to be Tiktok customer service fraudster pretending to be Tiktok customer service fraudster intimidates users with violation of rules, sends false links, induces users to click, enters the phishing website, and steals the victim's account, password and verification code. Typical case: Ms. Chen received a call from the customer service who claimed to be Tiktok, saying that her Tiktok account involved illegal operations, which should be dealt with as soon as possible, or she would be restricted and fined. The customer service asked Ms. Chen to click the link to log in to the "Tiktok Official Security Center" (actually, it is a fraud link). After logging in, Ms. Chen followed the prompts to enter her account, password, and verification code. Later, she found that her Tiktok account was stolen, and she also lost 2000 yuan in her bank card. It turned out that the swindler used the information she provided to transfer the money, and the fake customer service could no longer be contacted. The police prompt to verify the identity: verify the authenticity of customer service through the official channel of Tiktok. Do not click on links: Do not casually click on links from unknown sources. Protect information: Do not easily disclose account, password, and verification code. To prevent telecommunications fraud, it is important to remember the "three no's and one more" principle: do not trust unfamiliar calls, do not click on unknown links, do not disclose personal information, and verify transfers and remittances. Protect the security of "two cards": Do not rent, sell, or lend bank cards or phone cards to avoid becoming accomplices to fraud. (New Society)
