Recently, Ms. Huang, who lives in Honghe Town, Xiuzhou District, fell in love with a favorite product when browsing an online store. She has been hesitant because of the high price. At this moment, the customer service proactively contacted Ms. Huang and said that the product was being promoted on a certain platform, and she could also receive a 1,288 yuan red envelope on Alipay .
Ms. Huang, who was dazzled by the "surprise benefits", believed it to be true. According to the customer service requirements, she downloaded a platform APP by clicking on the unfamiliar text message link sent to her. Subsequently, the customer service asked Ms. Huang to send her bank card and verification code to the platform's customer service for new user registration, and said that after successful registration, the platform would send the product order information to Ms. Huang's mobile phone via SMS.
"Why link payment?" Ms. Huang had doubts after receiving the text message link. However, under the guidance of customer service, her concerns were gradually dispelled and she clicked on the order payment information. Because Ms. Huang's payment account was not in her own name, the transaction was abnormal.
Later, the system prompted Ms. Huang that she had not opened a merchant and needed to complete an Alipay password red envelope task of 1,288 yuan to open a merchant. Ms. Huang was confused and asked customer service how to deal with it. The customer service told Ms. Huang to enter the amount of 1,288 yuan in the Alipay password red envelope. After inserting the money into the wallet, she sent a screenshot of the digital password to the platform's customer service. After the other party saw it, they would continue to send the order to Ms. Huang's mobile phone text message, and the 1,288 yuan red envelope would be returned within 24 hours.
Due to unskilled operation and network reasons, Ms. Huang made many operational errors. Finally, the customer service asked her to scan the QR code on WeChat . At this time, Ms. Huang finally realized that something was wrong and immediately went to the Taishi Police Station of Honghe Police Station for consultation. The staff verified that it was a telecommunications online shopping fraud.
After learning that the other party was a scammer, Ms. Huang said with lingering fear: "I didn't receive the 1,288 yuan shopping red envelope, and I almost paid 1,288 yuan." The staff told Ms. Huang that online shopping should pay for goods on a regular platform and do not click on unfamiliar links to make payments to avoid being taken advantage of by scammers.
