Chinese athletes, come on
Dear netizens,
The Paris Olympics is in full swing, and as the world's largest multi-sport event, it is attracting the attention of the world. The Chinese athletes focused on every process of the competition on the field, vividly interpreting the Olympic spirit of "faster, higher, stronger", and showing the good image of China to the world. While watching the game, we also compiled an Olympic anti-fraud strategy to help you see through those scams on the Internet.
One
Beware of fake official websites
Want to experience the Olympic atmosphere in person? Watch out for seemingly official ticketing sites! Criminals deceive users of their personal information and money by cloning the official website of the Olympic Games and carrying out so-called activities such as "selling low-cost tickets", "lucky draws", "reselling tickets" and "snapping up commemorative coins" on the website in the name of "authorization of the Olympic Organizing Committee".
Two
Pay attention to the prevention of false winning information
"Congratulations on winning the official Olympic prize", don't get too excited when you hear this sentence, it is likely that this is a trap of criminals. Once the victim contacts them, they need to pay the so-called "production cost", "membership fee", "income tax" and other "taxes" to let the victim send money to the designated account.
Three
Beware of fraudulent fundraising scams
Criminals take advantage of the special feelings of the masses for the Olympic Games to deceive sympathy by fabricating false touching stories or the need for funding from an athlete's poor background, and defraud money in the form of "online fundraising". In fact, fraudsters have already planted number-stealing Trojans or viruses on these websites. Once you follow the path set by the website, you will fall into the trap of the fraudsters.
Four
Beware of "free feeding" phishing sites
At first glance, the phishing website page for the free broadcast of the event looks like an upcoming live broadcast, and once clicked to watch, a fake Trojan virus prompt will pop up, thus inducing netizens to buy unscrupulous antivirus software.
Five
Pay attention to prevent overseas recruitment fraud
Criminals will post high-paying job postings for Olympic jobs on social media, claiming that they only need to pay a small "deposit" to book a round-trip ticket to Paris, and once they choose to go, their personal safety cannot be guaranteed.
Dear netizens, while we cheer for the Olympic athletes and applaud the wonderful moments, we must not relax our vigilance against all kinds of fraud. Let's always keep a clear head, don't click on links and webpages from unknown sources, don't disclose personal information at will, and be sure to watch the game through legal and compliant platforms, so as not to give any fraudsters a chance!
Finally, I wish the Chinese Olympic athletes more success!
