The New Zealand police remind the public not to click on such packages by sms notification

According to the comprehensive report of New Zealand Tianwei Network, a few days ago, New Zealand Tianwei Network received a revelation from enthusiastic netizens, saying that they received fraudulent text messages, hoping to remind other netizens to pay attention to similar network scams.

Netizen Bob said that this Monday (15th) morning he received a text message asking him to pick up the courier.

Bob clicked on the webpage of the SMS link, which prompted him for his mobile phone number and reminded him to fill in sensitive information such as name and credit card.

Bob doesn't usually buy things online, but his wife buys things online, so Bob initially wondered if the text was sent wrong. But then he thought about it, and the general courier company would not ask for credit card information, so he suspected that it was a fraudulent text message.

Bob said, "Because I was a tech student, I went to look up this page. ”

This look startled Bob.

"I found this scam to be quite technical. Not only can it get your phone number, but the scam page can only be clicked on the phone through the sms message sent. So I guess the scammers are mass scam text messages, committing a lot of crimes in a short period of time. ”

Bob quickly reported the case to the police through 105.

Sure enough, as Bob said, his wife and many friends around him received similar text messages, and some people almost got fooled.

Bob hopes to remind the majority of netizens through Tianwei Network that when encountering similar text messages, they must not click and do not fill in personal information.

In response to Bob's revelations, the Tianwei network reporter also questioned the police.

A police spokesman told Tianwei.com that the police reminded the general public through the Facebook page as early as September to be vigilant against such SMS fraud information.

Police remind that if you encounter such text messages, please forward them to the Home Office Responsible SMS Reception Center, which is responsible for dealing with online fraud. If you clicked on this link or have already downloaded or filled in the content, please seek help from the New Zealand Government's Cyber Emergency Response Team CERT NZ.
