Due to the popularity of "All or Nothing", it has aroused everyone's attention to fraud, and one fraud case after another has been revealed. In fact, the manifestations in the movie are still relatively obscure, and the real experience of being deceived to northern Myanmar is even more terrifying...
In addition to the frightening cases of fraud in northern Myanmar, there are also scams such as online fraud, order rebates, shopping, and job hunting. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap of fraud.
Next, the senior sister will tell you about a real fraud case that my good friend experienced .
Two days ago, Xiao Chen received a call from a stranger who claimed to be the "customer service" of WeChat Pay's million-dollar protection, and told Xiao Chen that he had activated the function of WeChat Pay's million-dollar protection. Xiao Chen clicked on WeChat, selected "Wallet" in the "Service" column, and then clicked "Consumer Protection". Sure enough, in the "Security Protection" option, he found the "Million Protection Project" function of WeChat Pay.
Later, the "customer service" said that this function will generate a monthly fee. If you want to cancel it, you need to transfer the money such as WeChat wallet and bound bank card to the designated "safety account". When Xiao Chen heard about the transfer of property, she immediately became sensitive. Fortunately, she did not follow through, otherwise the family that was not well-to-do would have suffered even more. She came to ask me, and I told her that this is a fraudulent method: Anyone who asks you to transfer money Anyone who goes to a "safety account" is a scam!
The same "customer service" scam also involves refunding from other platforms on the grounds of product quality problems or lost or damaged express delivery, remember that they are all deceptive!
As a college student, you may often receive seemingly enticing calls, texts or social media messages that often lead fellow students into the trap of scammers. The senior sister sorted out five common types of scams for everyone, students must pay attention!
1. Part-time job fraud
Part-time job scams are a common type of scam targeted at college students. Scammers usually lure you to participate in part-time jobs with attractive conditions such as high commissions and easy work.
For example, a netizen may post a part-time job recruitment post, asking you to perform some simple tasks and promising high rewards. However, when you complete the task, the other party refuses to pay for various reasons.
Therefore, students must confirm each other's identity and reputation before participating in any part-time activities. It can be verified by querying the reputation evaluation of the company or person, searching for relevant information, etc.
At the same time, for any part-time job that requires you to pay a deposit or provide personal information, you should be vigilant to avoid being deceived.
2. Telecom Fraud
Telecom fraud is a method of defrauding victims through phone calls, text messages, etc. Fraudsters may pretend to be banks, public security organs or other institutions, claiming that your account is abnormal, and ask you to provide personal information, transfer funds and other operations.
Therefore, you should be vigilant against any phone calls or text messages claiming to be from banks, public security organs and other institutions. Before confirming the identity and situation of the other party, do not disclose any personal information. If you suspect that the other party is a scammer, you can hang up the phone, call the official phone number of the relevant institution or go to the location of the institution for verification.
3. Campus loan fraud
Campus loan fraud is a high-frequency type of fraud targeting college students. Scammers usually lure you to apply for a loan with attractive terms such as low interest rates and no guarantees. However, after signing the contract, the other party may charge high "handling fees", "management fees" and other fees, and even threaten to disclose your personal or academic information if you fail to pay.
Therefore, before applying for a loan, please be sure to understand the relevant laws and regulations and the terms of the contract. Be wary of any loan that requires you to pay a fee or provide personal information first. At the same time, if you cannot repay the loan on time, please negotiate with the other party to avoid making things worse.
4. Shopping Fraud
Shopping fraud is a method of fraud carried out through Internet shopping platforms. Scammers usually post some low-priced or "second-hand" items on the platform to entice you to contact them to buy. After confirming the order, the other party refuses to ship or sends inferior goods for various reasons.
I saw a case before that someone saw a favorite mobile phone on a second-hand trading platform, and the price was much lower than the market price. After contacting the other party, he confirms the order and pays the money. However, after receiving the payment, the other party refused to deliver the goods for various reasons, and even blocked him.
So before buying any product, please be sure to confirm the seller's reputation and evaluation. It can be verified by querying the seller's transaction records and evaluations. At the same time, you should be vigilant for any commodity whose price is significantly lower than the market price. During the transaction, try to use a safe payment method, and keep relevant transaction records and chat records, so that you can have evidence to protect your rights when problems arise.
5. Recruitment fraud
A recruiting scam is a type of deception that targets students, usually when new students arrive. Fraudsters will pretend to be student unions, clubs and other organizations to attract you to attend interviews or pay membership fees in the name of recruiting new members. However, after paying the dues, the organization disappears or refuses to let you join for various reasons.
A freshman student told his senior sister that when he was a freshman, he received a new recruiting leaflet from the student union, saying that he could make new friends and enrich campus life. He went to the interview site to attend the interview and paid the dues. However, while waiting to join the organization, I found that the organization was empty and the membership fee was lost.
Before joining any organization, students must understand the credibility and background of the organization. It can be verified by querying the organization's registration information, historical activities, etc. Also, be wary of any organization that asks you to pay your membership dues or provide personal information first. Before joining the organization, it is best to communicate with old members and understand the situation of the organization to avoid being deceived.
Although university life is rich and colorful, there are also certain "safety hazards" at the same time. It is necessary for students to understand common fraud methods to ensure the safety of themselves and their property. I hope the above five common types of scams and precautions can be helpful to you. While enjoying college life, students should also remain vigilant to avoid being deceived!
