Recently, a Ms. Sun hurriedly walked into a branch of a bank in Zhejiang Branch, and she told the staff that she wanted to increase the transfer limit of mobile banking. When filling out the application**, Ms. Sun revealed that she received a stranger** early in the morning, who claimed to be a staff member of a court and told her that she was suspected of fraud. The other party asked Ms. Sun to cooperate with ** in investigating the flow of her fund account, and instructed her to transfer all the funds in the account to the so-called "safe account", during which she could not contact anyone or answer others**. Ms. Sun was convinced of the identity of the other party and carried out a series of operations according to the instructions.

After learning about the situation, the branch staff immediately realized that this was a typical case of telecom fraud. They explained in detail to Ms. Sun the common modus operandi and characteristics of this type of scam, which made Ms. Sun suddenly understand. The staff also helped Ms. Sun dial 110 to call the police** and reminded her to be vigilant in the future, not to easily trust strangers**, and beware of fraud.

Case Study] In this case, the fraudsters pretended to be staff of state organs such as the public prosecutor's office, taking advantage of people's fear of legal issues, and induced the victims to transfer funds to the so-called "safe account" on the grounds of suspected fraud and other crimes. These fraudsters usually obtain the victim's personal information and bank account information in advance, and use this as a bargaining chip to threaten and intimidate, causing the victim to fall into a state of panic and thus easily fall for the scam.

Once this information is obtained by criminals, it can lead to serious financial losses.

Once you receive suspicious information or requests involving account information and fund transfer, you must verify and confirm it through official channels. You can directly call the bank's official customer service** or go to the bank branch for consultation, and do not easily trust the instructions and promises of strangers.

For all kinds of unknown **, text messages, emails, etc., we must remain calm, do not trust others, and do not transfer money or provide sensitive information at will.

In addition to the efforts of consumers themselves, banks and all sectors of society should also take more responsibility. Banks should strengthen risk warnings to customers, improve customers' security awareness, and improve internal management mechanisms to prevent insiders from participating in fraudulent activities. In addition, social organizations should also strengthen publicity and education to raise the public's awareness of telecom fraud and prevention. By widely publicizing the dangers of telecom fraud and how to prevent it, more people can understand the means and identification methods of fraud, so as to avoid being deceived.

In order to effectively combat telecommunications fraud, we also need to strengthen international cooperation.

By strengthening cooperation such as information sharing, technical exchanges, and joint law enforcement, we can better curb the spread of telecom fraud and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

Maintaining the security of personal financial information and property is a common responsibility of the whole society. Only by working together among consumers, banks, and all sectors of society can we create an honest, safe and stable financial market environment, so that everyone can enjoy safe and convenient financial services.
