Children chasing stars but being cheated of 350,000? It sounds like I can't believe my ears! Have you ever heard of star chasing spending money, have you heard of being scammed of money? Where do children get so much money?

It turns out that this is all true, and there is more than one case.

In Haining, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, a 13-year-old student, Xiao Li received a private message asking him to enter the group to "call" a certain star, and Xiao Li believed it, but after entering the group, he was warned by the "Officer Zhang" who suddenly appeared inside, saying that they had leaked the privacy of the star and must cooperate with the investigation, otherwise they would have to contact the guardian to pay a fine of 20,000 yuan.

Xiao Li was scared and quickly explained, and as a result, he was asked to contact "Lawyer Zhao" again. "Lawyer Zhao" did not conduct the so-called investigation, but called a video call, asked Xiao Li to use his mother's mobile phone to transfer money, and bought a mobile phone of more than 8,000 and sent it to the designated place. Xiao Li did so, and was deceived of more than 358,000 yuan.

Xiao Liu, a student in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, had a similar experience, being tricked into a small group with "police" by a person who called himself a star "lawyer", transferred more than 6,200 yuan to the other party, and was blocked. The 14-year-old girl in Zhuji City was also deceived by more than 20,000 in the same way, is the child too simple, or is the fraud too clever? It's hard to guard against.

Now many children have smart phones and are using chat software, which is convenient for information exchange, but it increases a lot of hidden dangers. Fraudsters take advantage of the child's psychology of chasing stars to weave some obvious eyes, so that the child unconsciously takes the bait.

In fact, this is only the tip of the iceberg. As long as you use your mobile phone, you can encounter various forms of fraud, and you will be hooked if you are not careful. Therefore, it is not only the reason of star chasing to fool children, there are many possible situations.

When scams creep up on their children, how should parents respond? It's time to raise your child's awareness of fraud prevention. These facts and principles should be told to children.

All things to do with monetary payments are fraudulent

Children can transfer money at the request of strangers, because there is too little knowledge of fraud information, resulting in easy deception. If you see a lot and are mentally prepared, you can immediately arouse vigilance.

To tell me a personal experience, one day I suddenly received a video call called a "customer service center", which called several times, but I didn't answer, but he still took the trouble to keep calling. After all, I had been using the platform all the time, and I thought there was some important information, so I answered the phone.

The other party was male and had a thick southern accent, and he told me: the "million guarantee" function in the payment will expire immediately, and it needs to be canceled, otherwise it will be charged 800 yuan per month.

I thought to myself: God, it's hard to earn 100 yuan, and you have to collect 800? Also tensed up, asked him what should he do?

He said: This program is very troublesome, you open the software, I will teach you step by step.

I became suspicious at that time, thinking that many scammers saw the payment information in this way and defrauded all the money inside, so I told him: You tell me the specific operation method, such a simple operation I can handle it myself.

He still insisted that he would teach me, so I counted him down in a strong tone before he hung up.

I quickly checked this function, there is no cancel button at all, and it is free, there is no charge.

I also thought that according to my experience, for a regular software, if the system changes, it should be the system to send a notification, not the customer service staff to call the user.

I know, it turned out to be a scam call, I changed the phone password, they still called frequently, I directly uninstalled the video function, a hundred.

Later, I saw the official rumor refuting information, and my judgment was indeed correct, and I was almost trapped.

From this incident, I thought that fortunately I have seen many cases in this regard, and I know that everything related to money payment is deceptive, so I was not led by him by the nose in a panic.

Therefore, daily should show children some real cases, such as these cases of being deceived by 350,000 for star chasing, let him know that if the video call, let open the software with payment function, even if you do not trade, you may be deceived. When you encounter it again in the future, you can wake up in time and will not be deceived.

There is no such thing as a free or cheap lunch

Some children may not be tempted to hear that they can be introduced to a high-paying job or earn some pocket money, so they move their minds and believe other people's lies, but they get into big trouble.

For example, things that have been deceived in northern Myanmar are endless!

This is the case with 6 children in Puning, Guangdong, and some people say that they will be introduced to work in Shantou, and they will believe it. They were first taken to Shantou, then to Baise in Guangxi, Kunming in Yunnan, and Lincang in Yunnan, where they were sold to Myanmar on the Sino-Myanmar border. At first, I could still send messages to my father, but then I told my father that I couldn't go home and it was difficult to deal with.

Good jobs are definitely there, but that's someone else's. What good job can a group of children, without education, qualifications, experience, and craftsmanship? Everything must be started from scratch, we must recognize such facts, and do not believe the rhetoric of others.

Also, don't lose a lot of money just to save a few dollars.

My son once bought a mobile phone online, and after receiving it, he found that the core components had been replaced, and he chose to return it. The other party received the goods but said that he did not return the charger and could not return the mobile phone fee. There was an argument over this, so angry that his son called the police for help.

I think that such a thing should not constitute a dispute, and the platform can handle this matter, I think it is simple.

It turned out that in order to save a little money, the son did not go through the normal procedures on the shopping platform, and used off-platform transactions, no wonder he was taken advantage of. Later, under the negotiation of the police, the other party agreed to return the cost of the mobile phone, but still insisted on deducting 50 yuan from the charger.

I originally wanted to save money, but I lost money, wasted time, and affected my mood, which is the follow-up trouble caused by the child's lack of awareness of prevention.

This matter can also teach children a good lesson, cheap is not good goods, buy things do not be greedy and cheap, must take formal channels.

The body is not afraid of the shadow oblique, stick to his bottom line

Children were charged with leaking the privacy of celebrities, they panicked, and it was also a lack of confidence in themselves, in fact, if they don't do anything wrong, they are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, no matter how serious they say, nothing will happen if they don't do it.

I once received a scam phone call claiming to be a police officer and saying a series of police numbers, accurately stating my ID number, just like the real thing.

He told me: You participated in an economic dispute case in a certain place in Shanghai, and you went to the public security branch on the second floor of a certain month and day of a certain year to handle it, otherwise your bank card would be frozen.

I'm just an ordinary employee, how can I participate in this kind of activity? He also said that my ID card had been stolen.

My documents have always been in hand, I have not lost them, I have not signed any official documents, how can I be involved. So, I still firmly believe that he is a liar and did not pay attention to it.

He made a phone call later, and I never answered, and I was never harassed again.

Not long after, I received a message from our local police that someone impersonated a police officer to commit fraud, which was the same reason as I said, it was really a scammer, and my judgment was correct.

If children can be sure that they are right, they will not be at the mercy of others and the fact that they have been deceived.

Therefore, we must let the child know this truth, if you don't do it, you don't need to explain more, you don't have to worry about being punished, unwarranted things won't happen, it's just a means to scare people.

Written at the end:

Fraud methods are endless, children as long as they use mobile phones, they may receive some information, easy to be deceived, must tell children some cases, knowledge and principles, so that they can be prepared, can make correct judgments in time, so as not to be deceived.

At the same time, we must pay attention not to answer strange calls, do not click website links at will, do not scan the code to transfer, and protect your vital interests.
