With the advancement of science and technology, our lives are becoming more and more convenient. Tools such as mobile phones, the Internet, and especially WeChat have brought unprecedented convenience to our lives and work.
However, these technological advances have also brought us to new security challenges, the common example being WeChat transfers.
Today, WeChat has become our main tool for paying for daily consumption, transferring money to friends, and even paying salaries. However, at the same time, we also have to beware of some possible scams in WeChat transfers.
Today, Xiaobian will introduce in detail some risk warnings that need to be paid attention to in the WeChat transfer process to help you use WeChat Pay more safely.
The first case is that a prompt box containing the words "Risk Warning" suddenly pops up during the transfer process.
Suppose you are transferring money to a newly acquainted netizen and suddenly the "Risk Reminder" window pops up on WeChat, then you need to be cautious.
This could mean that the other party is a high-risk account, which WeChat security systems have monitored through big data analysis.
At this time, you need to confirm the identity of the other party first, or whether the other party is the person you intend to pay. If the other party cannot give an explanation that satisfies you, then it is best to suspend the transfer operation to avoid possible losses.
The second situation is that during the transfer and payment process, a prompt box pops up showing "The other party is suspected of fraud violations, in order to ensure the safety of your funds and avoid being deceived, the current transaction cannot be carried out temporarily, please carefully confirm the transaction risk".
When you see such a prompt, you should stop the payment operation immediately, as it may mean that the account you are transferring money to is suspected of fraud.
For example, if you're buying a second-hand item and the other person asks you to transfer money first, but this prompt appears when you're ready to pay, then this could be a scam. You should stop paying immediately to further confirm the identity of the other party and the authenticity of the transaction.
The third situation is that when WeChat transfers money, a prompt box suddenly pops up and says, "There is a risk of being deceived in this transaction, and it cannot be paid for the time being." Please carefully confirm the identity of the other party, if it is correct, you can start the transaction 15 minutes later."
This prompt tells you that there may be a risk of fraud on the other party's account and you should stop the transfer immediately.
Let's say you're paying for a web service and the service provider asks you to pay via WeChat, but you see such a warning when you're ready to transfer money, then you should suspend the payment to further confirm the identity of the service provider and whether the service actually exists.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that before preparing for WeChat transfer, be sure to carefully check the recipient's information.
Before filling in the amount and preparing to enter the password, be sure to confirm that the recipient is who you intend to transfer the money to.
In the old version of WeChat, we can set the arrival time of the transfer, such as real-time arrival, 2-hour arrival, and 24-hour arrival, and you can set it according to your own needs.
But now WeChat can't find this setting entrance, in this regard, when transferring, you must determine whether the receiving account is the account to be transferred!
To sum up, when we use WeChat transfer, we need to maintain a high degree of vigilance, not to easily enter the payment password, but also to confirm the identity and account information of the other party at all times.
While fully enjoying the convenience brought by technology, we must also learn to protect our own property.
