02 Do you need to brush up on the "loan" first? Beware of becoming a criminal "tool"!
On July 4, 2024, Ms. Zhang received another strange phone call (16714038280), the other party claimed to be a bank financial loan customer service, thinking that she needed to pay another 30,000 yuan certification fee to unfreeze the loan yesterday, so she added the customer service WeChat and scanned the WeChat QR code sent by the customer service, and entered an online consultation interface after scanning the code.
The customer service Liu asked Ms. Zhang to provide information such as ID photos, Chinese bank card statements, bank cards, etc., and said that Ms. Zhang's credit limit was low and she could not apply for a loan of 30,000 yuan, so she needed to provide a bank card credit limit. Ms. Zhang believed it and scanned the code to transfer money according to Liu's "guidance", and after several times, the bank card was frozen, and Ms. Zhang finally realized that she had been deceived.
Police remind
1. All online loans that have to pay various fees such as "membership fee", "security deposit", "unfreezing fee" and "handling fee" are all frauds.
2. Don't believe all kinds of phone calls, text messages, apps and various loan advertisements on social networking sites.
3. Do not click on unknown links or scan unfamiliar QR codes to download unofficially released APPs, and do not easily fill in personal information such as bank card numbers, verification codes, and passwords.
4. Anyone who asks for a bank card to apply for a loan is using your bank card to collect and transfer stolen money for telecommunication fraud criminal activities, remember not to accept funds from unknown sources, do not lend the bank card to others for use, and do not believe in the help of the flow service.
