Game account transactions are the hardest hit area for fraud. One is to collect the money but not have an account, and borrow the chicken to lay eggs; the other is that after the transaction is completed, the scammer company submits the ID card information to the platform game on the pretext that the account has been stolen and retrieves the account. Under the second premise, after the purchased account is found by a scammer, the user often has no way to complain because he does not have initial registration information.
Game props are scam-prone areas, mainly scams such as cheap online recharge, giving away game props with weapons and equipment, weapons and equipment winnings scams, etc. The main methods include using low-priced gold coins as bait and then running away after collecting the money; notifying players of winning coupons, but asking them to pay taxes first. In addition, game auxiliary and auxiliary software containing ransomware also carry the risk of fraud. After users download it for free, the computer will be infected with the virus and need to spend money to recover.
Run security software for your computer, download online game plug-ins from official websites, and pay attention to verify the detailed address of online games; when playing online games, try not to open unknown connections, documents, compressed files and second-line files sent by the store. QR code, and install anti-Trojan software to regularly disinfect the computer and protect the privacy of your account; if you find any abnormalities in your account, you should contact the game operator immediately. 2. Be wary of part-time job scams
Some illegal and non-compliant intermediaries and false reporting organizations take advantage of college students’ desire to work during the summer. Some exaggerate objective facts, some make up random things, and are listed on recruitment platforms. The rich standards entice college students to apply, and the introduction fee is deducted. After paying the fee, the "recruitment information content" was hopeless.
Don’t be gullible when it comes to online part-time jobs. Scammers will always use recruitment conditions such as low cost, free time, and high commissions to attract the attention of victims. Here, we would like to remind students not to easily believe in such "sit back and enjoy" part-time job advertisements, and try to apply for jobs through formal recruitment platforms. 3. Be wary of scams
Scammers use “making money at home” as bait to lure victims into the group. Members of the fraud gang play different roles in the group and post profit screenshots one after another to build a high-yield business. The illusion deceives the victim until the victim is convinced that he transfers huge amounts of assets to participate in fraudulent orders, and then blocks the victim. Or let the victim make a few small orders and give the victim shopping rebates as agreed. When the victim enjoys the benefits and invests more money, the scammer company will cut off contact and disappear.
Don’t credulously believe in the advertising content of fake orders online. They use fake orders as an excuse to deceive people and use simple requirements and generous benefits to attract attention. There is no money for nothing in the world; try not to click or scan. Website links and QR codes sent by passers-by; keep passwords for online accounts, identity documents, mobile phone numbers and other personal information, and use common computer anti-virus software to disinfect the computer.
In addition, be careful of fake customer service terms and "heart-warming" service items to gain your trust; when you see that you have been deceived, you should call 110 immediately and pay attention to save Direct evidence, such as bank transfer records, communication records, WeChat chat records, etc. 4. Be wary of "campus loan" scams
Campus loan schemes are too deep. Scammers often pretend that applying for a campus loan requires paying thousands of yuan in security deposits to trick students into remitting money online; or they change their tricks to "No reason" and "low interest" are used to trick students into borrowing money. In the end, they often use non-traditional means such as threats and threats to manipulate students into paying high interest rates, which is essentially equivalent to loan sharking.
The essence of bad campus loans is to commit fraud and extortion under the guise of sincerity. Some illegal organizations make claims about "low rates", "low risks" and "saving time and effort". In fact, they are false advertisements to trick school students into taking loans from them, and finally lure students into falling into the trap of "financial fraud" and "loan sharking". "Small loans" turned into "huge debts".
Students must establish a correct concept of consumption, fully understand the potential safety hazards and risks of bad loans on the Internet, and improve risk prevention awareness in the financial industry; they must establish a rational and scientific concept of consumption, and cultivate thrift, thrift, and thrift. If you have a good character of thrift, it is best not to borrow or buy things on online loan platforms and installment shopping platforms, as the interest rates and contract penalties are very high; you must pay attention to learning financial and network security education, and avoid bad online loan behaviors. 5. Be wary of online shopping scams
Summer vacation is the peak time for online shopping every year. There are three main types of online frauds associated with online shopping: First, you encounter scammers when shopping online, most of which are direct purchases and sales. I paid, but the goods were not received, and I lost contact with the person. For this category, when shopping online, we must pay attention to shopping on reliable e-commerce platforms and avoid direct transfer transactions.
The second is the process of shopping online and waiting for express delivery. Real courier companies have not yet appeared, but scammer companies posing as couriers have appeared first. This type usually calls the victim to tell them that due to transportation problems, the courier company has lost or damaged it during transportation. Now it can provide a certain amount of compensation. The "tricks" are generally: The scanner had an unknown connection, entered the false website, filled in the bank card account number, and the money on the card was transferred out.
Finally, after the product has been used for a period of time, I suddenly received a call from someone claiming to be customer service, saying that the certain product you purchased has been found to have problems such as excessive formaldehyde concentration, and now you need to apply for a unified application. Return, if you are fooled, the scammer company or the above routine: the scanner has an unknown connection, enters the false reporting website, fills in the bank card account number, and the money on the card is transferred out.
When shopping online, never provide your bank card number, identity information, or online payment verification code received on your phone to passers-by, and do not open the URL link sent by the other party. Be cautious when making phone calls or text messages from strangers, and try not to remit money online; be vigilant when encountering unknown courier companies, especially courier companies delivered by "courier boys" who have never delivered couriers for themselves.
If you don’t know whether the express delivery company really belongs to you, you can check it through the official website of the logistics company; if a payment failure occurs during online shopping, you can log in to the official online shopping website customer service hotline for consultation. Do not trust Baidu. Search the customer service hotline searched by other search engines, and dial 110 to alert if you notice any abnormality. 6. Beware of fraud by pretending to be an acquaintance
Fraud suspects obtain private information through illegal means or randomly select, fabricate false information through phone calls, the Internet, and text messages, claiming that they are friends, classmates, or even friends of the other party. Relatives, friends and other acquaintances set up scams, pretending that there is a very important matter that requires money urgently, and induce the victim to send money or transfer money.
Whether it is QQ, WeChat, Weibo and other social software or mobile phone messages, when you receive a message from a friend or "acquaintance" such as a relative or friend requesting a transfer, you must dial the other party's mobile phone to proceed. Verify. If the other party says that the phone number has been changed or turned off, they should contact their relatives and friends for verification. If there is money transfer involved in the chat, be careful to avoid losing money. 7. Be wary of admissions fraud
Fraudsters often forge official documents, taking advantage of parents’ ignorance of specialty bonus points, art college entrance examinations, military academy admissions and independent admissions policies, and falsely claim to have the university’s “internal structural indicators.” Or "excluding index value", as long as the bidding is valid, the recruitment will be guaranteed.
Students and parents should be highly vigilant about paying for school. When encountering common admissions problems, they should check and verify through formal platforms, and try not to hand over student ID number, admission number and other information to others. . 8. Be wary of bursary and scholarship fraud
Scammers pretend to be public officials in the name of distributing bursaries, scholarships, etc., require students to give their bank card account numbers and passwords, and induce students to go to ATMs to perform transfer operations.
If students encounter the situation of distributing bursaries and scholarships, please consult the teacher and the local education bureau first. Never transfer funds privately according to other people's regulations to avoid being deceived. Whenever passersby mention "money", be careful. 9. Be wary of red envelope rebate scams
Criminal suspects take advantage of people’s love of money mentality to lure victims to pay attention by returning large red envelopes at a high rate, and further defraud after adding them as QQ friends or WeChat friends. The scam begins by gaining trust, taking screenshots of some fake return records, and also giving the victim a sense of reality of returning the red envelope, making them convinced. When the victim wants to enjoy the highest doubled red envelope, the money usually transferred will be gone forever, or even be blacklisted immediately. Finally, everyone must remain vigilant.
