He said that when he didn't wake up and was confused, he received a **, and the other party claimed that her WeChat protection was about to expire, and if she didn't cancel it, she would have to deduct 2,000 yuan every month.
So, ** instructed her to cancel the so-called protection, but she didn't react at this time. "It wasn't until I got up to operate that the camera showed half of my face, and I suddenly realized that it was a face time, and I realized that something was wrong! "Immediately hung up ** and searched on the Internet and found that it was indeed a scam.

She also replied to netizens that the other party played a total of 7 **, which is really continuous".
According to *** report, Lin Siyi, born in 1994, starred in the reality TV series "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", and played Wang Xiuyu in the play.
After attracting widespread attention, many netizens have shared the fraud routines they have encountered:
This kind of ** high incidence.
A number of people have been recruited.
According to ** reports, there are not a few people who fall into the "million guarantee".
In November 2023, Ms. Gao in Wuhan received a call from "WeChat customer service", and the "customer service staff" repeatedly claimed that the free service of "million guarantees" in Ms. Gao's WeChat had expired, and if it was not closed, 800 yuan of premium would be deducted every month. The "customer service staff" said: "Log in to the designated link I sent you, and complete the relevant operations to unsubscribe from the service." "If you do not cancel in time, you will be automatically deducted. Seeing that the "customer service staff" provided such an "intimate" service, Ms. Gao, who didn't have time to think about it, transferred money through mobile banking under the guidance of the other party, totaling more than 130 yuan.
On July 17, 2023, Ms. Zhou, a citizen of Fujian, received a network ** while driving, and the other party said that she received the "Million Guarantee" service for free in WeChat a few years ago, and if it is not lifted, more than 3,000 yuan will be automatically deducted every month. Ms. Zhou believed it, and then the other party asked Ms. Zhou to transfer 500,000 yuan from the bank card to the account provided by the other party on the grounds of "need to authenticate personal information". It was only afterwards that Ms. Zhou found out that she had been deceived and immediately called the police.
What exactly is "Million Guarantee"?

WeChat and Alipay's "Million Guarantee" are all automatically turned on security settings, which are completely free and will not affect personal credit reporting, and individuals cannot turn off this service.
As early as April this year, WeChat Pay Consumer Protection*** published an article "Be careful! Someone uses WeChat Pay "Million Guarantee" to scam", the article reminds: WeChat Pay "Million Guarantee" is completely free, there is no "expiration renewal", do not believe any "Million Guarantee" payment renewal, affect the credit of **.

Some netizens also paid attention to the fact that Lin Siyi was deceived and received "facetime", and **had reported many times before** the use of the facetime function of the Apple mobile phone to commit fraud. There are also many netizens who shared their experiences of receiving Facetime scams**.
In this regard, the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security has issued a relevant reminder:
Recently, I received feedback from the victim, saying that some fraudsters pretended to be customer service and used the facetime function of the Apple mobile phone to initiate ** calls to the victim, and then committed fraud.
Fraudsters falsely claim to be an official customer service, such as "WeChat Payment Center", "Alipay" and other platforms, and initiate ** calls to the owner of the iPhone through the FaceTime function. On the grounds of canceling false loans, adjusting loan interest rates, and closing financial accounts, they asked the victim to **various ** conference software and turn on the screen sharing function to trick the victim into transferring money to the designated account.
In this regard, the WeChat Security Center "Alipay" official issued a message statement one after another: Users will not be contacted by FaceTime, personal social accounts, etc., but all "customer service" contacted in this way is counterfeit.
* Reminder, do not answer unfamiliar facetime calls, if there is no need to use it, you can set to turn off this function, please be vigilant!
In addition, screen sharing means that the other party can see the content of your mobile phone screen in real time, including the bank card password, verification code and other property information you entered.
