Raffle Game: A Gambling Trap in Disguise!
Let's start with the following conversation.
Oh, it didn't hit again.
Hit, win, third prize! Haha, boss, quick, claim!
I don't believe it, I can't win it, boss, I don't want that stationery box, change it to a 50-dollar "scratch card"!
It turns out that the third prize is just a small doll, it's really boring, I want to win that limited edition big "Dragon Ball"! Boss, come back for 100 bucks, I can't believe I can't get it!
As a parent, this scene must not be familiar to you. You are familiar with it 5 minutes ago.
Dad, the book on my stationery box broke down, and the book always fell down.
Son learning is a big thing, have to support, Oh, 50 yuan, buy a good one to go, must buy a better ah, not enough money to come back to dad!
Mom, yesterday Mao Mao taught me a math problem, and I want to invite him to milk tea.
What kind of milk tea do you have to drink, haven't you always wanted to eat pizza? It just so happens that tonight your father and I have an affair, and you take this 100 yuan to invite people to eat a good meal.
3.15
Can you believe it?
You give your child pocket money,
Children may not be used to buy stationery, invite classmates to dinner,
Instead, it's all about buying something called "scratch music."
This year's 315 party exposed a new consumption trap for children.
As soon as the school bell rang, the stationery shop in front of the school became lively.
In front of a stall full of colorful balls, there were schoolchildren carrying school bags.
This is a lottery game, the prizes are some worthless small toys, some even three no products, open there is a pungent smell.
But the children still had a lot of fun.
Some children have been in front of the stall for at least twenty minutes;
Some children have a bunch of "booty" in their hands, but they still refuse to leave, and they keep trying their luck for the "special prize" that is full of temptation.
If children participate in this kind of lottery game just to get "novelty" toys, then how to explain the "cash delivery" next?
That's right, some merchants will stimulate upgrades and exchange prizes from toys to money!
What's more, in a game of "smashing golden eggs and drawing cash",
Golden eggs can be reused,
This means that you can not draw the prize, how much money can you draw,
It's all up to the merchants!
……
Did you smell a strange smell?
If the previous draw was barely a "game", what is it?
Already suspected of "gambling in disguise"!
Like gambling, lottery games hide a very harmful "addiction" behind them.
Why are gamblers addicted to gambling and can't stop?
Because I want to gamble when I win, I want to gamble even more when I lose.
The same goes for raffle games,
Next time you will be able to be stimulated, with a small and broad temptation,
Let the children indulge in it and find it difficult to extricate themselves.
Children don't want to know the money they use to draw lotteries,
Buying a few big "Dragon Balls" is more than enough;
I don't want to understand, they want to draw that dollar in cash,
How many "one dollar" were invested.
What they care about may not be the prize,
It's the thrill and pleasure that uncertainty brings.
This thrill and pleasure are constantly superimposed, slowly forming a dependence on the lottery game,
Once the dependence psychology is established, it is difficult for children to withdraw from it.
Unscrupulous merchants also take advantage of this,
Set lottery traps to stimulate children's psychology,
Let them feel that they can't win this time, and they can win next time, so as to achieve the purpose of making money.
In order to create a healthy learning environment for children,
All localities have banned all kinds of entertainment venues such as game halls and Internet cafes from appearing around the school.
But the open gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is difficult to defend,
I never expected that unscrupulous merchants would actually extend their claws to the stationery stores that bloomed all over the school!
As parents, what can we do if we find that our children are falling into the lottery trap?
First of all, timely and good communication is very important.
Figure out your child's intentions to participate in the lottery game during the exchange.
If you are interested in the prize itself, then parents can buy the same kind of toys with guaranteed quality for their children to meet their children's wishes;
If the child is attracted to the lottery process and already has a certain addiction,
Then parents need to take action to stop it in time.
Know where your child's pocket money goes and where your child goes during non-school hours.
Limit your child's pocket money when necessary, and have a face-to-face and sincere communication with your child, give your child the right guidance, and let your child know about the lottery scam.
Capable parents can also start from the principle of the lottery game,
Find or design similar games online and interact with your child.
Take your kids to explore in the parent-child game,
Help children understand the "routine" behind the lottery game, and satisfy children's curiosity,
Let them understand that "the original lottery game is like that!" ”
Smartwatch: Your child's whereabouts, criminals know better than you!
Nowadays, children's smart watches have almost become the standard for children.
It has real-time positioning, high-definition dual camera, face recognition, video calls and other functions.
For parents, it is like their second pair of eyes, which can grasp the whereabouts of their children at any time.
But you know what?
A smart watch that was originally a service for children's safety,
It is possible that it has been targeted by malicious program software and turned into a walking "bugger"!
At this year's "3.15" party, the reporter tested a smart watch with more than 100,000 sales.
The reporter put a malicious program into a two-dimensional code, disguised as a lottery game,
It is easy to deceive the child's trust.
When the child finishes scanning the code, the malicious program is stationed in the smart watch,
Everything about the child was kidnapped by this malicious program,
Information processor sent to the far end.
This means that the child's every move is in the hands of the "outlaws"!
It can locate the child in real time and easily circle the child's range of activities;
You can also listen to the chat between your child and your family;
Even the pictures of children doing handicrafts at home are unobstructed in front of the eyes of "criminals"!
The terrible thing is that it's all going on quietly,
And you don't know anything about it all!
Until a scam call filled with the child's identity information comes,
Only then do you realize that there is an extra pair of invisible "eyes" around you.
Why has the highly trusted "baby artifact" become a traitor to children's information?
The problem is with an old, unequipped operating system.
In order to reduce costs, many merchants still use old versions of the operating system from 10 years ago.
The old version of the operating system has a big drawback,
That is, the installed APP can automatically open a variety of permissions without user authorization!
Once the information hidden behind the authority falls into the hands of criminals,
The consequences will be unimaginable!
So how should we, as parents, guard against it?
First of all, don't be greedy!
Open a shopping software, search for "children's smart watch",
We can see that many children's smart hands of about 100 yuan under the banner of "the king of cost performance" are impressively on the list, and the sales are not low.
At this time, we have to learn to identify,
If you come across a brand that we haven't heard of or don't understand,
You can search online for the brand and the product introduction of the model, as well as market evaluation and other aspects of the information,
It is important that the product does not have the "CCC" certification mark, and if there is no such mark, it is resolutely not bought.
However, Xiaobian suggests that if you can't judge and the economic conditions allow,
Or try to choose a large brand with high credibility and research and development strength, which will be relatively reliable in ensuring the safety of children's information.
Second, be wary of malicious program implantation.
Check from the source, prohibit children from scanning the two-dimensional code from an unknown source.
Even if it is the app of the right way,
When installing, also keep permissions to the minimum.
For example, when installing a weather forecast APP,
You don't need to open permissions such as location, contacts, albums, cameras, etc.
If the software has this requirement, it will be rejected to prevent future troubles.
