Primary school students chasing stars were deceived by 358,000! Since July, many students have been recruited, and parents should be vigilant

Primary school students were cheated of 350,000 stars chasing, are primary school students rich to this extent?

Some time ago, in Haining, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, 13-year-old Xiao Li (pseudonym) received a private message:

"Scan the code to enter the group and call your favorite stars!"

Xiao Lixin thought it was true and quickly added it, but before he could "call" the star, a "police officer Zhang" jumped out first.

The "police officer Zhang" said that if someone in the group leaks the artist's privacy, everyone must cooperate with the investigation, otherwise they will be treated as "accomplices" and fined 20,000 yuan by the guardian.

Xiao Li was dumbfounded, he had just joined the group, how could he do such a "illegal" thing?

So Xiao Li hurriedly sent a private message to "Officer Zhang", saying "I will definitely cooperate with you" and "I have not done anything."

The other party saw that the prey was hooked, and asked Xiao Li to add the contact information of "Lawyer Zhao", and through video call, let Xiao Li transfer all the money in his mother's mobile phone, and also bought a mobile phone of more than 8,000 yuan and sent it to the other party's designated location.

Xiao Li listened to it, and her mother got up the next day to find that her daughter had been deceived by more than 358,000 yuan.

In fact, scammers have been rampant recently, and Xiao Li is far more than one who has been deceived.

According to the police, in Haining, Zhejiang Province alone, 31 students have been deceived since July, with more than 620,000 yuan defrauded.

During the summer vacation, children have more access to mobile phones, but scammers have also invisibly increased.

Children have poor awareness of security precautions and lack basic recognition ability for online information, so they are easily targeted by scammers and become fat sheep in the mouth of scammers.

Especially now that many children are keen on "chasing stars", it has become the hardest hit area of telecom fraud.

The star-chasing circle has become the hardest hit area of electric fraud

In the face of the endless methods of scammers and the fine speculation of human nature, not to mention children, sometimes even adults, may not be able to prevent it.

In January this year, a similar star-chasing scam appeared in Yiwu.

When student Xiaoli brushed the short video, she accidentally swiped a recommendation video marked with the contact information of her favorite star, Xiaoli was excited, and quickly asked to add the other party as a friend.

After successfully entering the fan base, Xiaoli was stunned, not only did there be various photos of the star, but the other party would even "parachute" and chat with fans.

Just when Xiaoli was overjoyed, the crook's minions stretched out:

You can contact the celebrity assistant by private message to receive a signed photo of the star.

As a result, when Xiaoli added the other party's friends, the star signed the photo without saying, but was warned by the star "lawyer".

The "lawyer" said that the celebrity's contact information was leaked, the main culprit had been caught, and Xiaoli needed to cooperate with the investigation and prove that he was not an accomplice.

That's right, the same scam as Xiao Li encountered above, Xiaoli was also deceived by 280,000 under the fooling of the other party.

It's understandable that children like to chase stars, but scammers have developed similar scams specifically for this, and children are often easy to fall for when they lack awareness of prevention.

It may only be a few hours, and the parents' hard-earned money of hundreds of thousands of yuan will be looted by scammers, and it is impossible to prevent it.

What are the characteristics of scammers?

Although it is unrealistic to expect children to have a golden eye and see at a glance that the other party is a liar, we should usually tell children about some scammers' fraud methods and the characteristics of scammers to improve children's awareness of fraud.

In general, scammers often use other identities to reduce children's vigilance.

For example, classmates who impersonate children, some public officials, relatives and friends, etc., most of them are public officials, including police officers, lawyers, etc., are the usual impersonation targets of scammers.

We usually educate our children that we must "vaccinate" our children in advance, telling them that if they come into contact with similar identities on the Internet, they must first contact themselves, do not communicate with each other privately, and do not be afraid of the other party's intimidation.

Secondly, an indispensable trick when scammers cheat is to create an atmosphere of tension and fear.

Children have low cognitive ability and mood swings, and they will be easily led by scammers and step by step down carefully set traps.

Therefore, we should also show children more real cases in this regard, so that when children encounter similar situations, they can respond more calmly and prevent fraud.

In addition, scammers often use video calls, or use some overseas calls starting with 00 numbers, and regardless of the means, they will finally ask the child to transfer and remit.

For this aspect, we also need to popularize science for children and improve their vigilance.

Parents should also strengthen supervision

Scammers are defenseless, even if their vigilance is high, they may accidentally fall into the trap of the other party.

Therefore, to prevent children from being deceived, parents also need to pay more attention to them and strengthen the supervision of their children.

For example, reduce the frequency of children's use of mobile phones, especially when unsupervised, and try to avoid children using mobile phones alone, giving scammers an opportunity.

Another example is to avoid telling the child's payment password, turn off the payment method that the child may use, and prevent the child from unknowingly transferring the money in his hand.

Another important point is that with the popularity of mobile phone payment, many children now do not have such a deep understanding of money.

I remember an interview with elementary school students before, and the reporter asked the children, "Who do you think is the richest?" How much is considered rich"?

There are many children who think that the principal is the richest, and at least hundreds of millions of dollars, can earn hundreds of millions a month.

Therefore, when children encounter fraudsters and transfer tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands at every turn, they may really not know how much money it is, and they don't know what the concept of more money and less money is.

It is precisely for this reason that we must pay attention to the education of children's money, usually let children properly contact money, understand how much money can be called "huge money", and can also prevent children from being deceived to some extent.

Epilogue:

The means of scammers are impossible to prevent, and what we as parents can do is to try to prevent problems before they happen and prevent our children from being deceived in all aspects.

Especially now that the children are still on holiday, we must pay more attention to strengthening supervision, and don't let scammers take advantage of the void and make a lot of money.
