"Double Eleven" will be vigilant against seven types of online shopping scams

"Double Eleven" is approaching, all major e-commerce companies will conduct large-scale online shopping promotions in the form of discounts, spikes, promotions, discounts, red envelopes, etc. Many netizens also take this opportunity to prepare for "shopping". Recently, the police announced seven common types of online shopping scams, reminding everyone to be vigilant and beware of falling into the trap of fraud.

1. False red envelope fraud

As the "Double Eleven" approaching, major e-commerce platforms will pre-warm the promotion in the form of red envelopes, and criminals will take the opportunity to distribute false "Double Eleven" red envelopes on platforms such as WeChat Moments, WeChat Group, QQ Group, etc. Everyone clicks to extract personal information, or spreads Trojan horse virus, and steals bank account.

2. QR code fraud

The criminals pretend to be sellers, provide consumers with a QR code, and claim that as long as they scan the QR code, they can get discounts. But the criminals provided a download address for a Trojan horse virus. After the virus was downloaded, consumer information would be stolen silently.

3. Pre-order fraud

"Double Eleven" is approaching, the criminals will use the "advance purchase" "pre-sale" as a bait to send Trojan links to users. In addition to the online shopping links being implanted into Trojan horses and phishing websites, there are also criminals who will make articles in the "pre-sale" activities to defraud buyers of "deposits".

Four, fake customer service fraud

This kind of fraud is divided into three situations: one is the peak period of "Double 11" panic buying, there will be slow webpage opening, online banking transaction delays and Other phenomena, and some criminals will impersonate customer service or store owners, appearing in the list as "order" card Statements such as "Single" intentionally say that consumers have not received money to defraud consumers, and after gaining trust, they require other methods to transfer funds. In fact, most of the words such as transfer orders, card orders, and activation orders are scam terms. The problem of not receiving payments is generally not seen on large shopping websites. The second is that the fake customer service requires the victim to refund the victim due to defective product quality, and requires the victim to operate according to the process (usually sending a Trojan link or a fake QR code) to make the victim step by step into the trap set by him. The third is to pretend to be a customer service, asking the victim to cooperate to cancel the business on the grounds of staff error or machine failure, otherwise the system will automatically deduct money, and in this way step deep into tricking the victim to follow the instructions to transfer the cash in the victim's bank card go.

5. Fraud in the circle of friends

Although "Double Eleven" is an activity of the e-commerce platform, the "WeChang" in the circle of friends will also take advantage of the "Double Eleven" for hot speculation. Due to the lack of a third-party supervision platform, criminals will post on the circle of friends False low-price shopping information, deceive consumers to remit money to buy.

Six, phishing website fraud

During the "Double Eleven" period, there are frequent phishing websites such as the official website of the charger and online payment platform. When consumers are busy browsing various product pages, it is often easy to ignore the security of the link and mistakenly enter the fake phishing website sent by fraudsters. The criminals created a “clone website” that is very similar to the style of a regular shopping website or used false identity information to register on a large-scale well-known electronic shopping website, leading consumers to a pre-prepared “phishing website” by directly implanting a Trojan virus. Or trick the victim into filling in personal identification information, bank card information, etc., to obtain the victim's private information, and thereby steal the victim's money.

Seven, fake express fraud

There are three kinds of such frauds: One is to pretend to be a courier worker, and the victim should be compensated for the loss or damage of the courier, inducing the victim to follow the instructions to carry out the fraud. The second is to pretend to be a courier worker who claims that the victim has a package that has not been signed, and then transfers the call to the "Xu Xian Public Security Bureau" inventory account on the ground that the package was found to be a contraband or involved in the case, and transfers the victim's funds away. The third is to use express goods to pay fees or deposits and other reasons to defraud money.
