Rumors: Shenzhen Labor Arbitration "Circuit Breaker"?

Truth: Recently, news such as "Shenzhen Labor Arbitration Circuit Breaker" and "Shenzhen Labor and Personnel Dispute Arbitration Commission Online Submission Has Reached the Upper Limit" have spread on multiple online platforms, causing concern. The Shenzhen Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau said the news was purely a rumor. At present, there is no such prompt on the Shenzhen Labor Arbitration Service Platform, the number of arbitration cases has not fluctuated abnormally, the acceptance and trial work are carried out in an orderly manner, and the public can obtain services normally through three ways of submitting arbitration applications by appointment (on-site), submitting by mail and submitting online. The screenshots circulating on the Internet are old prompts during the system upgrade at the beginning of this year. Currently, the online submission function has been optimized and there is no limit to the number of submissions.

Myth: Watermelon and crayfish can be poisoned when eaten together?

Truth: Not really. Watermelon is rich in vitamin C, and crayfish meat contains pentavalent arsenic compounds. Some people believe that if watermelon and crayfish are eaten at the same time, vitamin C will oxidize pentavalent arsenic to trivalent arsenic, that is, arsenic trioxide, commonly known as arsenic, which can poison people. In fact, with a normal diet, the risk of poisoning by eating the two together is extremely low. Specifically, vitamin C's oxidation of pentavalent arsenic to trivalent arsenic has specific conditions, including a high concentration of vitamin C and an appropriate pH (the pH of the solution), which is not met by the pH and environment in the human digestive system. In addition, there are multiple mechanisms in the body that can effectively eliminate small amounts of arsenic compounds. It should be reminded that crayfish is cooked in a variety of ways, and the taste is mostly spicy and greasy, which will bring a burden to the digestive system, and eating a large amount of fruit may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, but this is not directly related to arsenide poisoning.

Myth: Drinking Green Tea Protects Against Computer Radiation?

Truth: Drinking green tea does not protect against computer radiation. This claim lacks scientific basis and is highly misleading. Green tea is indeed rich in antioxidants, such as catechins, which have many benefits for human health, such as boosting immunity, slowing down aging, and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, antioxidants do not block or attenuate the effects of computer radiation on the human body. Computer radiation mainly refers to electromagnetic radiation, which cannot be completely avoided in daily life, but its intensity is usually very low and the harm to the human body is also very small. In order to reduce the health effects of long-term computer use, a more practical and effective approach is to take some precautions. For example, maintain an appropriate distance from screens, use radiation-resistant screens, take regular breaks from your eyes and body, and maintain a good working posture.

Myth: Can you receive a lump sum occupational pension when you retire?

Truth: No. Occupational pension refers to the supplementary pension insurance system established by government institutions and their staff on the basis of the basic pension insurance of participating organs and institutions. The cost of occupational pension shall be borne jointly by the unit and the individual staff, of which the proportion of occupational pension paid by the unit shall be 8% of the total salary of the unit, and the proportion of individual contribution shall be 4% of the salary paid by the individual, which shall be withheld by the unit. The payment base of units and individuals is consistent with the payment base of the basic pension insurance for the staff of government agencies and institutions. According to the state of economic and social development, the state shall adjust the proportion of occupational pension contributions of units and individuals in a timely manner. After meeting the retirement conditions stipulated by the state and going through the retirement formalities in accordance with the law, the staff member shall choose the method of receiving occupational pension benefits on a monthly basis. It can be used to purchase commercial endowment insurance products at one time, receive benefits according to the insurance contract and enjoy the corresponding inheritance rights; You can choose to calculate and pay the occupational pension treatment standard according to the number of months corresponding to your retirement, until the end of the payment, and the balance of the personal account of the occupational pension has the right to inheritance. I will not change it after I select any of the collection methods.

Myth: Sunglasses need to be replaced every 2 years?

Truth: This claim is not rigorous. It is true that sunglasses will gradually age with use, and their UV protection will gradually decrease, but it does not mean that they must be replaced after 2 years. The saying that sunglasses are changed every 2 years circulating on the Internet is actually related research, but it should be noted that the research team is from Brazil, and they use the local sunglasses with the intensity of 2 hours a day, and found that the sunglasses will be replaced after 2 years of UV protection. The vast majority of sunglasses in the mainland cannot reach this use intensity, so we can appropriately extend the service life of sunglasses according to our own frequency of use, and replace them without 2 years.

Looking back on August,

What lies did you see through at a glance?

And what rumors have convinced you to be true?

After reading Dongge's inventory of rumors,

You should be "clearer"~

Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors,

Don't forget

Also be wary of these cyber scams~

Game tokens, memberships, live gifts, "low-cost recharge", "fast arrival", ...... Are these online game advertisements often seen on the screen "player welfare" or a "trap" that hides "catty"? In fact, if you accidentally choose this kind of charging service, what awaits you is often the account ban, or even become a "tool man" for money laundering.

Steal "payment vouchers" to exchange for virtual goods

Analysis of criminal modus operandi

01. When using the application platform to purchase goods, the application platform will send a "payment successful" voucher to the App operator, and the operator will issue virtual goods according to the payment voucher. The black and gray industry criminal gang will use technical means to steal the "payment success" certificate of the application platform at 0 yuan or very low cost.

02. Incorporate the stolen "payment successful" voucher into the inventory system. The inventory system can store, extract and trade inventory resources.

03. Use the gimmick of "charging at low price" in various channels to attract buyers to buy.

04. After the buyer completes the payment, the black and gray industry criminal gang will exchange the "payment successful" voucher in the inventory system for various game gift packages and members through the buyer's account.

Since the "successful payment" voucher is obtained by tampering with data, when the App operator settles with the application platform, a large number of bad debts have been incurred that have not received the recharge but have been cashed out, which seriously damages the operator's revenue, and the virtual goods obtained by the buyer on behalf of the buyer may be recycled or even banned.

Game generation enrichment for covert "money laundering"

Analysis of criminal modus operandi

01. The black and gray industry criminal gang used the funds obtained by telecommunications fraud, credit card theft and other methods to purchase gift cards on a certain platform.

02. Use gift cards to purchase goods and recharge virtual items on the application platform, and incorporate the "payment successful" voucher into the inventory system.

The money used by the black and gray industry criminal gang to buy gift cards is the proceeds of crime, and the money paid by the buyer to the black and gray industry criminal gang is "clean" money, which is not small and becomes a tool for money laundering. Moreover, the application platform will carry out risk control of abnormal recharge, and the account that purchases the recharge is often banned.

Anti-scam tips

The black and gray industry behind the "low-cost substitution" not only brings huge economic losses to enterprises, but also provides "money laundering" channels for upstream crimes such as fraud and gambling, which can easily promote and breed more Internet-related crimes and seriously threaten the property security of the masses. The police will severely crack down on illegal activities such as the use of malicious refunds, the installation of illegal plug-ins, and the use of false vouchers to implement illegal acts such as "zero cost" charging. At the same time, supervise and guide internet trading platforms, strictly manage and control the publication of illegal information and advertisements, and improve mechanisms for the supervision and supervision of relevant violations and crimes. The majority of netizens are requested to remain vigilant and prudently screen when choosing services on online trading platforms, so as to avoid becoming accomplices to fraud, "money laundering" and other crimes.

Recently, some illegal lending platforms have changed the routine of "lending and debt collection" in the past, wrapping lending behavior in the cloak of recycling physical or virtual products, and implementing high-interest lending through gimmicks such as "renting mobile phones, recycling shopping cards, and recycling gold delivery coupons to obtain loans". Specifically, the relevant illegal lending cases have the following three new characteristics.

01. Constantly changing the "intermediary" as a trick

Some criminals use non-negotiable virtual items such as membership "equity cards" and "voucher cards" to offset part of the loan principal, or illegally develop so-called "financial leasing" apps, and issue usurious loans in disguise through methods such as "rental machine realization" and "physical recycling" under the guise of financial leasing of electronic products such as mobile phones and computers, and valuable physical transactions such as recharge cards.

02. Keep changing the name of "cutting off the head".

Some criminals use gimmicks such as "immediate application and release", "no guarantee required" and "no credit investigation" to induce borrowers to download the App, and collect "cut interest" in disguised form in the name of guarantee fees, service fees, handling fees, etc., through hidden terms set in advance, so that the actual loan amount of the borrower is far less than the loan amount displayed on the App.

03. Continuously expand the channels for attracting customers

Criminals take advantage of the concealment and speed of the Internet platform to solicit customers through online platforms, obtain more customers, and radiate a wider area. If the borrower is unable to repay the agreed amount after the expiration date, the criminals will continue to harass the borrower and his relatives and friends through text messages and phone calls, forcing the borrower to repay the high interest with "soft violence".

The general public should enhance their awareness of prevention, and if there is a need for funds, they should apply for loans from banks, consumer finance companies and other licensed institutions through formal channels, and do not borrow at high interest rates from informal channels, so as not to cause economic losses and information leakage.
