Top 10 rumors in WeChat Moments in the first half of 2014
|
While WeChat brings us convenience, it is also full of good and bad people. Below, we will review the top ten rumors that appeared in WeChat circles in the first half of 2014. 1. WeChat circle likes will deduct fees. The truth: This has been clarified by Tencent. First of all, from the perspective of WeChat itself, it is not necessary and dare not. Secondly, from the perspective of the scammers who use WeChat to defraud money, it is impossible for them to obtain WeChat's payment interface. Thirdly, from the perspective of telecommunications, why should they deduct customers' money? The key has been clarified by Tencent. However, there are indeed cases where you will be deducted money for replying to unfamiliar text messages. That is because Telecom and Mobile provide interfaces for value-added service providers. These businesses provide customers with services such as weather, ringtones, finance, and calls, and get paid. The premise is that customers must agree to open such services. Therefore, many scammers use the method of tricking you to reply. Replying means that you have subscribed to the service, and then the telecommunications department will deduct your phone bill to these businesses. WeChat has not yet opened any third-party interfaces, so you can rest assured that WeChat circle likes will not be deducted. 2. Picked up Bai Yaqian's admission ticket Online rumor: A friend picked up a college entrance examination admission ticket. If you know someone, please notify me so as not to delay the college entrance examination. Test site: No. 1 Middle School Test Room 013 Seat No.: 11 Name: Bai Yaqian Contact number: 15935078941 Please forward this to find the owner. The truth: This rumor has been widely reported in Beijing, Shanxi, Jilin and other provinces in China. It seems that Bai's admission ticket was lost everywhere. In fact, on June 7, 2013, there were reports in many places across the country that the candidate Bai Yaqian had lost her college entrance examination admission ticket. A year later, Bai's admission ticket was "lost" again. Compared with 2013, this help message has a new contact number. After checking, it was found that this number is from Jincheng, Shanxi. It could be dialed at first, but then it was turned off. This phone is a toll-collecting phone! 3. Remit 1 cent to defeat the scammer Online rumor: After receiving a fraudulent text message, an employee of a bank transferred money to the scammer through mobile banking, only remitting 0.01 yuan each time, and using the method of the other party deducting the money to pay the handling fee. After more than 400 transfers, she only spent more than 4 yuan, but the scammer lost more than 800 yuan. The truth: The bank mentioned in the rumor also stated through its official electronic banking Weibo: For transfers through our bank's mobile banking, if the amount is less than 10 yuan, the handling fee cannot be deducted by the recipient. In other words, it is not feasible to transfer only 1 cent each time and charge a handling fee of 2 yuan each time until the scammer's account is "stuck". In theory, the above operation can be achieved through the bank counter, because there is no clear regulation on the minimum limit of transfers paid by the other party. But in practice, the counter staff may regard "1 cent transfer" as malicious behavior and restrict it; different regions may also set minimum limits according to actual conditions. In addition, there is another prerequisite for "1 cent transfer to defeat the scammer": there is a balance in the scammer's account. Because as long as the bank cannot deduct the handling fee from the scammer's account, the transfer will be judged as a failed transaction, and the 1 cent transferred will be returned to the remitter's account, and the scammer will not be charged any handling fee. In fact, it is rare for the scammer's account to have a balance, unless other victims happen to remit money to the scammer and the scammer has not had time to transfer it, otherwise it is an empty account. 4. Locking the scammer's bank card by entering the wrong password over the phone Online rumor: Once you accidentally remit money to the scammer's bank card, you only need to call the remittance bank, follow the voice prompts to enter the query system, enter the other party's card number, and deliberately enter the wrong password three times in a row when the system prompts you to enter the password, and you can freeze the scammer's account and make it impossible for him to withdraw or transfer the money. The truth: Customer service staff of Bank of China and Construction Bank both said that if you enter the wrong password several times in a row in telephone banking, the telephone banking channel will be locked, but as long as you enter the correct withdrawal password, you can still withdraw money from the ATM. 5. The details at the bottom of the toothpaste tube can show the ingredients of the toothpaste The truth: The color block is just a mark on the production line, called the electric eye positioning point, which is used by the machine to find the position when it automatically seals the hose. I think this may be a malicious competitor confusing concepts and misleading consumers, because this kind of thing is very common in China. 6. Ask for invoices from McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut and other foreign fast food restaurants. We don't want invoices, so they plundered 2 billion yuan in tax revenue. The truth: This is a lie under the banner of patriotism. It was debunked 10 years ago. 10 years later, people are still spreading it, so I won't explain it here. You can check it online. I just want to say that you really think that the Chinese tax bureau is stupid! The state supervision of stores like KFC is very strict. Their cash registers have a tax-recording function. Whether you want an invoice or not, they will pay taxes. Of course, there are also benefits to asking for invoices, that is, you can participate in the lottery. 7. Crayfish is an insect, not a shrimp. Online rumors: Crayfish is not a shrimp, but an insect, and foreigners don't eat it. It was introduced to China by the biochemical troops of the Japanese invaders to deal with corpses. At the same time, it is said that a large amount of harmful heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and chromium have accumulated in its body. The truth: According to popular science experts, crayfish is a freshwater crayfish, belonging to the subfamily of the family ... It also has its own scientific name, Procambarus clarkii. The hometown of crayfish is neither in China nor in Japan, but in distant North America. Its main habitat is the Gulf Coast, especially the area near the mouth of the Mississippi River. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has calculated that the annual trade volume of crayfish in the world is as high as more than 300,000 tons. Popular science experts say that in the United States, the hometown of crayfish, people began to eat crayfish more than 200 years ago, and the quantity was large. There are also many markets specializing in selling crayfish. European countries also eat crayfish, but Japanese people really don't like to eat it because they think crayfish meat is relatively dry. 8. Microwave heating of food causes cancer Online rumors: Microwave heating of food can easily cause the body to produce a large number of cancer cells, and it is said that no one in foreign families uses microwave ovens. The truth: Zhu Yi, an associate professor at the School of Food and Nutrition of China Agricultural University, said that compared with the cooking methods used in daily households such as frying, boiling, and stewing, microwave heating of food has a high temperature and a short cooking time. It will not only not destroy nutrients, but will help retain nutrients. At the same time, because microwave heating of food heats up quickly and does not require the addition of water, more vitamins and minerals in food are retained. Experts point out that the principle of microwave ovens is to convert electrical energy into thermal energy, and food simply receives heat from the microwave oven. As long as it is heated according to the requirements in the manual, its properties will never change. It only heats the water molecules in the food, and the food itself does not undergo chemical changes, so it is impossible to produce carcinogens. At the same time, using a microwave oven 5 cm away from the microwave oven door will not cause any impact on the human body. 9. Covering the small dots on the license plate can make the electronic eye ineffective. Online rumors: It is said that if the small dots behind the first letter of the license plate are removed, the electronic eye will lack a focus point and will not be able to clearly photograph your license plate number! The truth: The electronic eye does not focus on the small dots, but on the whole. The small dots are interval symbols, and it is not meaningful to remove them. If you alter the letters and numbers, you will violate the law. Civilized driving is the right way. 10. Placing a cactus in front of the computer can prevent radiation. The truth: According to the detection of a radiation detector, cactus does not have the effect of preventing radiation. In fact, as of now, no plant has been found to have the ability to prevent radiation. Don't be fooled by merchants! How do we identify rumors: 1. Check the source of rumors first. Generally, news articles always have a signature or source at the end. If you see a shocking rumor, search it online first. 2. Be wary of generalizing information that uses out-of-context quotations and hints to attract attention. 3. Check whether there is superstition or religious content. 4. The content of the rumor is empty and often uses fancy words. The reporter once again reminds everyone that it is a basic skill of online life not to believe in it easily and to think more. Rumors stop at the wise. Seek the truth first and then express your opinion, instead of forwarding it emotionally, so that the end of rumors is in our own hands.
