At the end of the year, there are 5 major things to know, especially beware of returning migrant workers, who have been recruited.
Watch out for station thieves.
At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the cold weather makes people dress more and the stations are more crowded. In the process of buying tickets, everyone is often busy spending money to buy tickets, giving thieves an opportunity. In addition, thieves are also prone to theft in the waiting room and when getting on and off the bus. Especially when you are wearing thick clothes and crowded people, it is easier to be noticed. Therefore, we should keep valuables such as mobile phones and wallets in front of us, avoid putting them in shallow pockets of clothing, and beware of those who deliberately hit us.
In addition, the cold weather also provides opportunities for thieves to take advantage of. They can take advantage of our distractions from the cold while waiting at the station to steal our belongings. Therefore, we should always be vigilant and not pay too much attention to other things while waiting at the station to avoid thieves taking advantage of the opportunity to steal.
Beware of ticket scams.
Fake ticket text messages are one of the most frequently used tricks. This kind of ** is especially common at the end of the year. When we buy a train or plane ticket, we send fake text messages claiming that the ticket purchase has failed or that the flight has been delayed, directing us to click on the link to refund the ticket, thus stealing our personal information and bank card funds. To avoid being deceived, don't click on the link after receiving the text message, and it's best to contact the customer service of your booking as soon as possible or call the airport or airline directly to confirm.
Similarly, there are scam SMS links for online shopping refunds, and we should also be vigilant and not to trust and click on the links. Most of these links are scam text messages designed to steal our personal information and money.
High Street Low Price**.
Some unscrupulous businessmen often carry out low-price sales promotions in large shopping malls or streets to attract our attention. They asked us to pay just by swiping our card, thus cloning our card details when we swiped it. In fact, it is not safe to swipe a bank card on the street, which can easily lead to password leakage and card theft. If this happens, we should immediately change the password, freeze the account, and notify ** as soon as possible.
At the same time, it also reminds us to beware of criminals who use low prices** as a means to defraud us of personal information and bank card information. We need to be more aware of safety and not be fooled by low prices.
Large credit cards.
Getting a credit card has become a favorite way for many young people, and they often think that the higher the credit limit, the better. However, criminals take advantage of this psychology and impersonate credit card merchants to defraud our personal information and bank card assets. When we apply for a credit card, we should go through normal channels, because the bank will not charge any fees to customers, let alone ask us for payment passwords and other information.
In addition, we need to be wary of those who sell mobile phones, watches and other products at low prices on the streets. They tend to catch our eye with their inexpensive** and premium brands, and when we believe their bait, it is possible to fall for them. Therefore, when we buy valuables such as mobile phones and watches, we must choose formal channels to avoid being deceived.
Caution must be exercised when withdrawing money.
We must also be vigilant when withdrawing money from ATMs that are open 24 hours a day. One of the most common nowadays is when someone behind you alerts you that your wallet has dropped when you withdraw money. When we bend down to pick up the money, we quickly insert the prepared card into the ATM card slot and let us see, thinking that our card has been taken away, thus taking the card away. Instead, our card will be used immediately and all the money on the card will be withdrawn. In addition, there are some **deliberately set traps to block the door of the cash exit at the ATM and hang up fake customer service**.
Therefore, when we withdraw money, we must first check whether the card slot of the ATM has been touched by someone, and do not easily trust others and hand over the bank card to others for use. When we encounter a similar situation, we should immediately report to the police to protect the safety of our funds.
Summary. The end of the year is a period of high incidence of fraud cases, and we must beware of all kinds of fraud, especially migrant workers returning to their hometowns. First of all, beware of station thieves, especially when buying tickets at stations and waiting rooms, buses can be easy targets for thieves. Second, beware of ticket purchase scams, avoid clicking on the link in the fake text message, and contact the ticket purchase** or the airline directly for confirmation. Third, beware of low prices on the streets** and avoid paying by card on the streets. Fourth, be wary of large-value credit card fraud and avoid providing personal information and bank card information to criminals. Fifth, be cautious in withdrawing money, and do not easily trust the help provided by others when withdrawing money from ATMs, so as not to fall into the trap of **.
