Netizens posted "I am Messi, turn me 10,000" was shut down, operator: similar jokes are not allowed

On the 10th, Argentine star Messi arrived in Beijing by plane, which attracted the attention of fans. On the same day, some netizens shared in Xiaohongshu that the relevant text messages sent to friends with the content of "I am Messi" were stopped. In response, the relevant operators responded that the background will identify and process the SMS information, and will make a judgment after capturing some keywords.

Judging from the graphic content posted by this netizen, the text message content released by him is: "I am Messi, I am stuck at the airport now and can't get out, transfer me 10,000 I will call the security guard, and when I return to Argentina, send you a team." Subsequently, the information sent by an operator showed that its mobile phone number was abnormally used, and in order to protect the rights and interests of users and avoid being used by criminals to engage in illegal acts, the number would be urgently stopped according to the requirements of relevant laws and regulations. To this end, the netizen had to come to the operator's outlet window with his ID card to handle it.

On the 11th, the reporter contacted the netizen. She said that she only sent this text message to two friends, and after a few minutes, it was shut down, and after the shutdown, the operator's staff told her that she needed to go to the branch business hall with her ID card and work certificate to handle it.

Officer Liu said that with the deepening of anti-fraud work, operators also have many measures and means to prevent and remind them, similar to SMS is indeed suspected of fraud, operators will deal with the account accordingly, and the closure of the account is also to prevent the account from being fraudulently used to engage in illegal acts.

In this regard, lawyer Pan Xingwang, a partner at Chongqing Kunyuan Hengtai Law Firm, said that publishing false information, fabricating facts, concealing the truth, and sending it to different objects on a large scale, if others are really fooled into transferring money, and the sender also occupies his own, then it is suspected of constituting fraud. Pan Xingwang believes that if false information is released, it is just a joke and explanation, it does not affect others, and there is no violation of relevant laws and regulations such as the Law of the People's Republic of China on Administrative Punishments for Public Security. However, lawyers also caution that the publication of such information is not advocated, which may cause inconvenience or misunderstanding to others, and even property damage.
