Zhuhai Mr. Zhang also encountered the same scam

In fact, these scams are all scammers disguised themselves as telecom operators and sent text messages

through base station

to induce victims to fill in personal information

and download Trojan software

Finally, snatch the victim's credit card

Recently, various promotional activities have entered the peak period

In order to avoid being deceived

, you must pay attention to the following points!

01

When receiving a text message for points redemption, even if it is a text message sent by a familiar customer service number, you cannot easily believe it.

"10086" and "l0086"

can't tell the difference between

If you don't look carefully, most people may mistakenly think that this is really sent by 10086, but if you look closely at "l0086" here, you will find that it is L in lowercase instead of 1. The scammers take advantage of everyone's low recognition of the English letter "l" and the number "1" to confuse the horizon and take advantage of tricks.

02

Anyone with a URL link in a text message must be careful to identify it. Never click it at will. It may be Trojan virus or a counterfeit phishing website.

Whether it is an activity text message sent by a bank, a telecom operator, or a merchant, it will not require users to fill in very sensitive information such as bank card password, ID number, etc., and it is even more impossible to ask users to fill in credit card validity period, security code and other information.

prefix and suffix confusing the field of vision

takes you to the phishing website

scammers send text messages through pseudo-base stations: http://waip-10086m.com/. There is also an m letter on the website, which is 10086m. This is obviously a phishing website. Never operate as required, otherwise there will be heavy losses!

03

handles points redemption business, try not to jump directly to the link operation. You can call the official customer service number or log in to the official website for consultation, or open the mobile app downloaded through the official channel to operate.

impersonate a staff member to obtain verification information

scammers will also impersonate a staff member, make phone calls to promote the points exchange for gifts, and ask for verification codes and passwords; or lie about winning or point feedback activities, asking for various verification information, and defrauding money.

In short, when you receive a similar text message, you should pay more attention to

to avoid being deceived

. If you find that you are cheated

, please call 110 to call the police in time!
