WeChat: You must answer this call, it may save you tens of thousands of yuan

Internet fraud has become a social cancer. Whether you are a student or an office worker, a child or an elderly person, there is always a fraud method that is "suitable" for you.

Today, the official WeChat public account "WeChat 110" published an article sharing three typical cases of online fraud.

Case 1: Ignoring the "anti-fraud customer service reminder" and losing tens of thousands of yuan

Xiao Zhang met a foreign friend on a video platform and soon developed a romantic relationship after adding the contact information. The other party said that he would send Xiao Zhang a love gift, but asked Xiao Zhang to transfer money several times on the grounds of paying for shipping, customs clearance fees, taxes, etc.

During the payment period, transaction risk reminders appeared many times on the payment page, and "Anti-fraud Customer Service Reminders" popped up 13 times. However, Xiao Zhang, who fell into the love trap, did not take it seriously and still initiated the transfer.

As he had not received the package for a long time, Xiao Zhang asked the other party to provide the delivery information, but the other party not only avoided the question but also asked for a transfer again. At this time, Xiao Zhang realized that something was wrong, but he had already been cheated of tens of thousands of yuan.

Case 2: I ignored the risk warning when paying and was defrauded of 50,000 yuan by my partner

On a video platform, Lao Wang met a friend who claimed to be a wall panel manufacturer and had a normal transaction with him. This time, Lao Wang contacted the other party again to buy wall panels, but a risk warning appeared when paying.

The other party responded that this was normal because of the large number of transactions. Based on previous transactions, Lao Wang believed it and transferred a total of 50,000 yuan to the other party. After payment, the goods were not shipped. Lao Wang contacted the other party for a refund many times but to no avail, and was even blocked.

Case 3: I didn’t pay attention to the risk warning when transferring money and was defrauded of 5,300 yuan

If a friend is in trouble, of course you have to help him, but you have to be cautious when it comes to money transfers. Xiao Ming encountered this kind of thing. The other party lied that his friend was in urgent need of money because of an accident, but he could not log in to his social account, so he wanted to transfer the money to Xiao Ming's bank card first, and then let Xiao Ming transfer it to his friend.

Later, the other party sent a screenshot of the transfer, saying that there was a delay in the online banking transfer, and asked Xiao Ming to pay first. When paying, a risk reminder appeared, but the other party lied that the transfer amount was too large. Under the guidance of the other party, Xiao Ming ignored the risk reminder and scanned the code to pay again.

After making the payment, Xiao Ming never received any notification of the money arriving to his bank card, and when he asked the other party about it, he was blocked.

WeChat reminds you: When the system identifies abnormal features of the recipient's account, a risk reminder message will pop up when making a payment, such as "There is a risk in the other party's account, please do not transfer money to the other party".

At this time, you must be vigilant, suspend payment immediately and carefully verify the other party's identity to avoid being deceived.

In addition, WeChat Pay has also launched a new feature called "Anti-fraud Customer Service Reminder". When a transaction risk is detected during payment, a "Answer Reminder" button will pop up on the payment interface , providing real-time online customer service through Tencent Cloud Intelligent Service to help determine the current transaction risk and provide effective warnings.

When this type of reminder appears, be sure to answer the reminder call in time.
