Criminals pretend to be couriers to deliver "goods" to the door and ask for "courier fees". The masses who didn't know the truth thought that it was a moon cake mailed by relatives and friends, a surprise for themselves, and after paying the "courier fee", they opened the package and found that it was full of fillers such as waste paper.

Police reminder: When receiving the express, be sure to check who the sender is first, and then pay after inspection. At the same time, be careful to receive deliveries outdoors as much as possible, and do not open the door to strangers easily.

Routine two

Pretend to be friends and relatives to send greeting text messages to commit fraud

Criminals take advantage of the habit of sending blessing messages to each other by sending text messages, WeChat messages, emails and other forms to link hidden Trojan viruses and spread Trojan horse programs in a big way. When a virus-infected user conducts an online transaction, the criminals will obtain the user's account number and password and wait for the opportunity to commit the crime.

Police Reminder: Ignore "holiday wishes" sent by strangers with strange links!

Routine three

Set up fake shopping websites

Scams are carried out on the grounds of "Mid-Autumn Festival promotion".

This is a variation of a more traditional approach to fraud. Criminals take advantage of the opportunity for citizens to purchase through e-commerce channels, set up trading websites similar to regular online stores, and lure users to buy goods under the banner of "Mid-Autumn Festival special activities". When users enter real account numbers and passwords to pay for fees, criminals will steal user funds through real online banking or fake bank savings cards, transaction cards, etc.

Police remind: To develop the habit of logging in to a regular website, you need to carefully check whether the domain name is the official website URL when logging in, and choose a third-party trading platform with a high degree of security.

Routine four

Fraud is carried out on the grounds that "refunds are available for flight cancellations".

During the holiday season, be wary of criminals impersonating airline customer service staff to commit fraud. Criminals will send scam text messages to passengers, claiming that they need to apply for a free refund for flight cancellations, but they will need to pay a relevant handling fee. Then, inform the passenger that there is a problem with the bank card when the refund is made, and that you need to contact and send authorization by phone, and then obtain the passenger's private information.

Police tips: After receiving such information, you should confirm it through the airline's official phone or ticket purchase website as soon as possible, do not believe in information from unknown sources, and do not provide your bank account, card number and other information without verification.

Routine five

It's easy to buy a crab card, but it's hard to eat crabs

One: Crab cards that can't be redeemed

The crab card shows that consumers can make an appointment online, by phone, etc., but after logging in to the website, the consumer found that the reservation was full, and no one answered the customer service number many times. Since the crab card is only valid for a few years, and the annual redemption shows that the reservation is full, it can only be thrown away after expiration.

Two: "water-filled" crabs

Mid-Autumn Festival, beware of these scams!

Some crab cards will mark the details of the products in the package, but after the actual receipt of the goods, the goods are often incorrect. It is a very common phenomenon to mail crab quality watering, for example, for crabs marked 4.0 taels, the rope soaked in water can be one or two. When consulting customer service, the customer service explained that "there will be a certain amount of water consumption in the transportation of aquatic products".

Police tips: If you encounter the above situation, consumers can call 12315 to complain or expose the dishonest behavior of the merchant on the Internet to protect their rights. When buying crab cards, you should try to choose a merchant with a high reputation and keep the transaction voucher. If the amount of loss is large, a lawsuit can be filed.
