Do you know? **A new trick has been used: impersonating the platform to refund money! No, ** pretended to be the platform's customer service to contact investors by text message and email, saying that they wanted to refund them, proposed to add WeChat groups and QQ groups, and then committed fraud. At present, such cases occur in many places, and CreditEase issues early warning reminders to prevent fraud and fraud. At the beginning of the year, Mr. Chen said that he received a refund notice from a "financial company" from an unfamiliar courier, saying that the institution's funds were broken, and the "official online refund" channel was opened for some users in accordance with relevant regulations, and the refund customer service was attached in an attempt to induce the masses to commit fraud. Fortunately, Mr. Chan was not fooled by the reminders of his relatives and friends.
Some investors are not as lucky as Mr. Chen, after receiving the express, they opened it and saw that it contained a "refund announcement", convinced it, and scanned it to apply for a refund, but they were defrauded of their money. Today, CreditEase uses the case to warn and deeply restore this kind of fraud, and asks the general public to keep their eyes open and avoid being deceived. Fraud routine: The first step - criminals obtain institutional user information through illegal channels, mail forged documents, claim that the investment platform is handling refunds, and guide victims to scan *** to add customer service and join group chats. Step 2 - Fraudsters trick victims into clicking on unfamiliar links to log in to fraud** or **fraud apps, register personal information, and bind bank cards on the grounds of "refund". Step 3 - The fraudster asks the victim to transfer money to the designated account, and can get a small return and withdraw in the early stage, and then induces the victim to continue the transfer on the grounds of "one-time return" and "wrong operation" until the money is lost.
In the face of various pitfalls, we should always keep a clear head and not be fooled by superficial flashiness. Not only that, CreditEase reminds you not to easily believe the news such as notification, clearance, judgment, registration, and payment collection that is not officially released. When you receive the so-called "refund" and "refund" courier receipts, you must verify them through official channels as soon as possible. The formal refund process will return the funds to the payment account, and any request for additional fees when refunding is a scam. Be careful not to scan unfamiliar links, do not click on unfamiliar software, do not join unfamiliar group chats, and protect your ID number, bank card number, verification code and other important information.
