Here is a police officer's winter vacation anti-fraud "homework".
Let's learn to finish it first.
Online games that underage children tend to fall into**
01 Under the guise of "free pick-up".
Due to their young age and poor discernment ability, underage children are easy targets for fraudsters in the process of using mobile phones to play games and browse the web. Bad actors will often use some gimmicks as bait, such as:Give away game props and equipment, give welfare red envelopes, etc., and trick or even threaten children to transfer moneyto commit fraud.
Criminals will spread similar information on various short social platforms"**Free game items".After the minor joins the group chat, the criminals will say that they can receive it by scanning a specific ***, but because the victim is a minor, they need to use their parents' WeChat to scan.
The victim will be prompted after scanning"Claim failed, account frozen"., the offender will inform the victim"You need to scan the payment code to unfreeze" and "The money will be automatically returned after successful unfreezing"., and use various tricks to induce the victim to make repeated payments, and immediately lose contact after defrauding a large amount of money.
02 Operation of "Fake Transaction".
There are many kinds of online games, not only with the gimmick of "free claim", but also with fake transactions in online games.
Criminals will post on online platforms such as game communities"Buy and sell game accounts, props, and equipment".Or"Sell in-game currency at a low price".and other advertising information to induce victims to trade on fake game trading platforms, and then trick victims into transferring money in the name of "registration fees" and "deposits".
After the victim makes the payment, the fraudsters will make it up"The system detects an account that is not his/her own", "triggers the locking of the risk control account", and "minors need to pay a deposit".and a series of excuses, taking advantage of the psychology that most minors log in to the game privately without their parents, fear of being blamed, etc., constantly asking for continued transfer and payment, and finally blocking the victim.
03 "Unlock the Anti-Addiction System"**
Some fraudsters may also take advantage of the weak awareness of minors' personal information protection to make false claims"Parent's bank card is required to unlock the anti-addiction system"., requiring the victim to provide account password, verification code and other information, or send phishing** to guide the leakage of information, so as to steal funds.
The Anti-Fraud Center reminds parents
Parents try to spend as much time as possible with their children, cultivate their children's correct game outlook and values, educate their children to be moderately entertained, develop good Internet habits, and can also educate and entertain and replace playing with mobile phones with a fulfilling lifeTell children some anti-fraud and anti-fraud stories, and strengthen children's anti-fraud and anti-fraud education.
Parents should also remember to take care of their "money bags", and before handing over mobile phones and tablets and other equipment to their children, they must first do a good job in the security measures of equipment paymentInstall the National Anti-Fraud Center app on your phoneSet a payment password with relatively high security, and don't easily disclose the payment password to your childrenAt the same time, you need to cancel the password-free payment on your mobile phoneIf you find out that you have been deceived, you should report to the police immediately.
