Unleash all kinds of fraudulent "tricks"

To demystify the common scams of the "May Day" holiday, please accept this guide to avoiding pitfalls

It is the "May Day" holiday

Beware of scammers

Whether it's a trip or a stay-at-home

The following anti-deception strategies are all useful

Ticket scams

Scammers will pretend to be airline customer service, saying that your flight is delayed or cancelled and you need to change or refund your ticket, and offer to give you some financial compensation, and when you believe it, they will commit the scam.

Don't trust such information, be wary of calls from unknown sources, and contact the airline or ticketing unit directly for verification.

Online game scams

During the May Day holiday, some citizens choose to play games at home, and scammers will pretend to be gamers, and take the initiative to contact victims under tempting excuses such as "selling equipment at a low price" and "recovering accounts at a high price", and then ask for transactions through third-party platforms or offline transactions.

During the transaction, scammers trick victims into transferring money on the grounds that they need to pay a "security deposit" or "the transaction fails and the transaction is re-traded".

The police reminded us online that when playing games, we must go to the regular game platform to trade, and be vigilant against the goods sold that are obviously lower than the market price!

Fake customer service to refund the goods

During the holidays, major e-commerce platforms will engage in activities and discount promotions, and many citizens want to take advantage of the discount season to buy their favorite goods online.

If the "customer service" asks to "pay the deposit" and "verify the account security", or transfer money through online banking, report the verification code, or scan the QR code, don't believe it! If you are not careful, the money will go into the pocket of the scammer.

"Low threshold" advertising + online loan APP

Fraudsters first ask you to fill in your personal information on a fake loan website or app, and then trick you into paying a deposit or unfreezing a deposit on the grounds that the information is incorrectly filled in or the loan amount is locked, and pull you into the fraud trap step by step.

Any online lending platform that claims to be "unsecured and low interest rate" is extremely risky! Be wary of "unsecured and low interest rate" online lending platforms.

Part-time swiping + online gambling

Want to make some quick money at home during the holidays?

Brushing is an illegal act of swiping the reputation or recharging the turnover of the online store through online shopping, and the online store returns the payment and pays the commission to the swiper.

Fraudsters often use small rebates as bait to trick you into investing a large amount of money in the name of part-time job swiping, and then block you.

Don't believe in part-time swiping advertisements, all swiping is fraud, and don't pay any deposits or deposits for swiping.

Pig Killing Plate

If you are single on vacation, don't be carried away by hormones when you meet a sweet young lady or a gentle, handsome and rich little brother on the Internet.

Fraudsters often win favor and trust by first using sweet words or courtesy, and then recommend the so-called "safe profits, low cost and high returns" online investment platform to you. When you cast more and more, it will block you. From the beginning of "love at first sight" in online dating, to the end of participating in online gambling or investment fraud, until the victim is bankrupt or even burdened with huge debts, this is the "pig killing plate" scam.

Pretending to be a "public prosecutor"

Public security investigation and freezing of accounts, as soon as others say that they are police, you will believe them?

Anyone who claims to be a "public prosecutor" and asks you to transfer money and remit money to prove your innocence is a fraud. Once you find out that you have been scammed, please report to the police in time.

There are also stock speculators and fake bosses

Friends and relatives who haven't seen each other for a long time

......

Various camouflage "charming eyes"

If you are unfortunate enough to be deceived,
