Qatar World Cup is in progress. Some criminals use phishing websites, prize winning text messages and other means to cheat and gamble money? Watch out for scams! The Qatar World Cup is in progress, and fans around the country have opened a football carnival. At the same time, some criminals took advantage of the opportunity to cheat, using phishing websites, prize winning SMS and other telecommunications fraud means to collect money. The reporter noticed that the Shenzhen Longgang District Procuratorate had filed a public prosecution against an agent of a gambling website just three days after the game began. The court sentenced him to two years and four months in prison and imposed a fine for the crime of opening a casino. During the World Cup Carnival Season, what telecom network scams should citizens be alert to? Beware of gambling websites and fake live broadcast software fraud reporters learned that during the World Cup, some "fake" World Cup websites and gambling software appeared from time to time. According to relevant short video platform statistics, 64513 accounts involving gambling diversion have been banned since the World Cup began. These gambling websites obtain the important personal information of the victims by forging the login interface and planting Trojan viruses, and then commit crimes. Mr. Wu, a citizen, said that since September this year, he has been invited by friends to download a software called "betting on football", saying that he can make money by betting on football matches. After the customer service promised to redeem the prize many times, he made a continuous bet of more than 20000 yuan, "Who knows, after the match results came out, there was no way to withdraw cash, and the customer service could not contact him." Mr. Wu had to call the police. The police of Guangdong Anti fraud Center reminded that, according to the current laws and regulations of China, Internet gambling is explicitly prohibited. Don't click on strange links and download unknown software easily. Some unknown links of websites related to the World Cup and live broadcast software are behind scams. You can also experience the fun of participation by purchasing football lottery tickets through official channels. Watch out for SMS winning, "divine prediction" email fraud "Congratulations! You have been selected as the lucky audience of the World Cup!" During the World Cup, some criminals sent out a large number of short messages and emails about winning prizes to confuse fans with "official" and "serious" language. Ms. Bai, a citizen, once received a text message saying that she provided the service of "100% accurate prediction of the results of the game". She was usually cautious and did not get cheated. She said frankly: "If you follow its prediction and make a big bet, the outcome will often fall in the hands of the swindlers, resulting in huge losses." The reporter found that these emails congratulating the "winner" often contain attachments. After clicking to enter, the victim was asked to fill in the detailed contact information for receiving the award, and sometimes directly asked to pay certain fees and taxes to defraud money. The police of Guangdong Anti fraud Center suggested that after receiving similar winning information, citizens should be calm and verify in many ways, not be blinded by the so-called prizes and predictions, and believe that "there will be no pie in the sky". In addition to the virtual service fraud, some "flagship stores" selling goods around the World Cup are also very secretive. It is not uncommon for criminals to sell fake goods at high prices and ask the owners to transfer money before blackmailing them. Among them, the sale of various fake commemorative coins is the most common, and many fans who like to collect are "recruited". Authoritative experts said that only the host country is qualified to issue commemorative coins for the World Cup. country
