Have you ever been cheated by the four common scams in second-hand mobile phone transactions?
After coming back from the 11 th holiday, many users have suffered from "holiday syndrome", which is not only distracted at work, but also low in vigilance, and it is easy to fall into the trap of scammers. Yang Qibo, a security expert of Tencent's mobile phone housekeeper, reminds users that after the long holiday, they need to be extra alert to the following four types of scams to avoid being deceived. Scam 1: SMS consumption in different places induces transfer and remittance to travel in different places on the grounds that "identity information is fraudulently used", and credit card consumption is inevitable. However, after the holiday, some users will receive short messages from different places that are inconsistent with the actual consumption amount, and then they will fall into the trap of scammers after dialing back. The fraudster will verify his personal identity and bank card information, and ask him to call the designated phone to call the police on the grounds that "the identity information has been fraudulently used", and then pretend to be a staff member of the Public Security Bureau to request a transfer. Therefore, when you receive a short message similar to "spending in different places", don't believe it, let alone call back the phone number in the short message directly. Instead, you should call the official hotline of the bank or go to a nearby outlet to verify. At the same time, you can intercept fraudulent short messages of "off-site consumption" through Tencent Mobile Manager.

Because it is inconvenient to receive express delivery during the holiday, everyone ushered in a wave of express delivery after the holiday. At this point, the scammer will pretend to be a courier company, call the user to tell whether the courier has been taken away, and take the opportunity to ask personal information such as name, phone number and ID number for further fraud. What's more, fraudsters will cheat on the grounds that "there are contraband such as drugs in the express delivery" and ask the parties to transfer money to the relevant accounts. If you receive such a call, I suggest you don't "report it" easily. You can consult and confirm with the official courier company first, and don't transfer money or remit money. In addition, Yang Qibo, a security expert of Tencent's mobile phone housekeeper, suggested that users can turn on intelligent interception mode through Tencent's mobile phone housekeeper to automatically intercept harassing and fraudulent calls.

You may encounter a visa change scam, while users who travel by car may receive "illegal text messages in different places" after the holiday. Recently, after receiving the short message of "Violation in Different Places", the owner Xiao Wang clicked the query link of violation and downloaded the software with suffix. apk。 Later, I received a text message reminding my bank card to transfer out 1 0,000 yuan. Like Xiao Wang, many users have received "illegal short messages from different places" before, so how to distinguish the authenticity and avoid being cheated? In fact, at present, after a vehicle violates traffic regulations in other places, its violation information will be recorded by the system, and the owner can find it in the traffic control department where the vehicle is located. In addition, the real violation information is sent by the authoritative platform, not the mobile phone number, and does not contain links. Therefore, users who travel by car during the eleventh period should carefully distinguish the authenticity if they receive "illegal short messages from different places". They can also intercept and filter fraudulent short messages, identify phishing websites, kill Trojan viruses and defend against security risks with the help of Tencent Mobile Manager.

Many people may receive photos such as holiday parties or weddings. What needs to be vigilant is that scammers may take this opportunity to send fraudulent short messages and implant phishing websites in the short messages. Once the link is clicked, the mobile phone will be infected with a virus, the bank card information will be leaked, and the money will be stolen.

If you accidentally click on the link in the SMS, Tencent Mobile Manager will detect whether the link is risky in the background, and remind the risk items in time to help users guard against Trojan virus. It is understood that Tencent Mobile Manager, as the first line of defense in the field of mobile security, relies on Tencent's secure cloud library, QQ WeChat's unique social big data and 800 million users' manual marking, and has the largest number identification library in the industry, which can accurately identify the identity of callers and intelligently and automatically intercept all kinds of calls such as fraud, harassment and advertising to prevent users from being deceived.
