Specifically for parents**.

Next. Take a look at the case.

In a flash, I was almost deceived

Recently, the Xiuwen Town Police Station of Meishan City received a report from Mr. Jian, a citizen, saying that he may have suffered a telecommunications network fraud. After receiving the report, the police from the police station quickly rushed to the scene and saw Mr. Jian who was hesitating to transfer money at the door of the bank.

After checking the chat history on Mr. Jian's mobile phone, the police learned what happened.

It turned out that Mr. Jian had a child who had just entered college, and on this day he suddenly received a WeChat friend application claiming to be the child's teacher. After successfully adding the other person as a friend, the "teacher" not only accurately stated the child's university and major information, but also claimed that there was a rare opportunity to participate in the training program of Tsinghua University. However, due to the limited number of places, registration and payment need to be made at the same time.

In the face of this sudden "good news", before Mr. Jian came back to his senses, he began to urge him to hurry up and sign up. Under the psychological effect of the other party's constant urging and the fear that the child would miss the training opportunity, Mr. Jian agreed to pay the fee immediately.

Since Mr. Jian had not opened mobile banking, he was asked to transfer money at the bank's ATM. In order to prevent delays caused by inter-bank transfers, the other party also took the initiative to provide the account number of the same bank as Mr. Jian's bank card.

On the way to the bank, although Mr. Jian saw the transaction risk warning that popped up in the chat dialog box on his mobile phone's WeChat, he still did not suspect the identity of the other party.

When he was about to transfer money according to the instructions of the other party, he suddenly recalled the anti-fraud propaganda he had seen before, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt about the true identity of this "teacher". After some thought, he decided to ask ** for help, hoping that the police could help verify the identity of the other party.

After learning about the whole incident, the police clearly informed Mr. Jian that this was a telecommunications network fraud and explained in detail the methods of such fraud. At the same time, Mr. Jian also got in touch with the child and confirmed that the training was not true, and successfully avoided property damage.

Except in the case of Mr. Jian

The following types of scams are also being staged in turn

Parents must pay attention!

Payment scams

* By stealing or cloning the WeChat, QQ and other accounts of teachers and parents, infiltrating the parent group, taking advantage of parents' trust in teachers, and pretending to be teachers, they commit fraud on the grounds that they need to pay for clothing, teaching materials, materials, etc.

Note:Parents should not rush to remit money when they receive the payment information of the class, and must verify the payment status with the teacher through **. At the same time, the teacher should turn on the group membership verification function to prevent strangers from joining the group chat at will.

Impersonation of children scams

*After stealing the student's ***QQ number, pretending to be the student himself, he asks his parents for living expenses, or asks his family to transfer money on the grounds of accident or illness.

Note:If the child requests to transfer money through SMS, QQ, WeChat, etc., he must be cautious and be sure to communicate with the child himself or verify it in person to prevent the loss of money.

Fraud by falsely claiming that a child has been in an accident

* Obtain the parents' contact book through illegal channels, pretend to be a school teacher and call the student's parents, and pretend to "the child is unwell or suddenly sick on the way to class and urgently needs medical expenses", etc., taking advantage of the parents' panic to urge the transfer of money, so as to defraud money.

Note:Parents must save the teacher's **, keep calm when receiving something like **, contact the school teacher or the party concerned first, and don't blindly remit money.

Bursary scams

* Pretending to be a staff member of the school or the Education Bureau, falsely claiming that there is a bursary for poor students, and providing information to go through the relevant procedures to transfer the bursary to the parents' account.
