Released by WeChat Security Center
Targeted at inducing unsuspecting users
Governance announcements that participate in authentication behaviors
With the continuous strengthening of WeChat governance
WeChat accounts available to criminals
The number is getting smaller and smaller
So they turned their attention to the average user
By inducing unwitting users to participate in authentication
to complete the registration or unblocking of the account
and then harassment, false marketing,
Fraud and other irregularities
Make a point!
Such behaviors are severely cracked down
The "Weixin Personal Account Usage Specifications" clearly stipulates that not only "inducing or deceiving others to register or unblock a WeChat account for themselves for secondary verification" is a violation, but also "maliciously registering or unblocking a WeChat account for others for secondary verification" is also a violation.

Be wary of new scams
1. Assist in registration and unseal free gifts, which is actually an auxiliary verification of the black industry
Criminals pretended to be a WeChat team to set up a roadside stall, claiming that the "official" was holding a promotion campaign for security accessibility features, luring ordinary users to participate in scanning QR codes by giving small gifts for free, and assisting them in WeChat registration or unblocking verification.
There are also some "online earning platforms", which deceive ordinary users into participating in various paid forms such as auxiliary registration and unsealing as part-time jobs and task assignments.

2. Unsecured loans, which are actually collecting personal information for auxiliary verification
Criminals publish unsecured loan news on the Internet, coax victims to offline, collect personal privacy information such as bank cards and ID cards of victims on the pretext of handling loan business, and require victims to cooperate with facial recognition verification on the spot.
In fact, criminals secretly use the victim's identity and face to assist in unblocking the account, and finally let the victim leave on the grounds that they do not meet the loan qualifications and need to pay relevant fees, resulting in the victim's account being blocked due to malicious auxiliary verification without knowing it.

Important Reminder
When helping others with security-assisted verification
Please double-check the identity of the other party:
● If you encounter free gifts, part-time jobs, online earnings, etc., you should be vigilant and do not operate verification.
● Refusing to help strangers scan the code is also protecting the security of their own accounts, and WeChat will also deal with accounts that assist others in violation of regulations for many times.
● Don't trust the "unsecured" loan information on the Internet, pay attention to the specific purpose of the collected information in the process of applying for loans, and avoid your private information being used for other purposes.
● Avoid unknowingly assisting criminals to complete registration or unblocking, and avoid the risk of fraud, gambling, pornography, spam marketing and other violations of laws and regulations.
