01
Ticket refund and change scams
Fraudsters will use fake base stations to send fraudulent text messages, asking users to change or refund tickets under the pretext of "flight cancellation" and "flight delay", and then send passengers a phishing text message with a fake airline's official website to obtain users' bank cards, ID cards and other information.
Lanzhou Anti-Fraud Center tips
When receiving a text message about flight delay or cancellation, do not contact the phone number provided in the text message directly, but ask the official customer service of the airline or airport staff.
02
Copycat ticketing site scams
Some criminals have created high-fidelity copycat 12306 websites to defraud them by phishing. When the user "successfully purchases a ticket" on the Shanzhai 12306 website, not only the money is transferred to the account set by the criminals, but the user's personal information will also be stolen.
Lanzhou Anti-Fraud Center tips
The regular ticketing website is also the only booking website designated by the railway department: www.12306.cn, partners must also download the "Railway 12306" mobile phone application software from the official website, and do not download it from the mobile phone forum and unknown links given by strangers.
03
Fake software ticket-grabbing scams
Ticket-grabbing software hides Trojans. Criminals disguise viruses and Trojans as ticket-grabbing software, and spread them on social networks under the guise of "free" and "spikes" to attract users to download and install. Once tricked, the malware can secretly intercept the user's personal information, which in turn will cause the user's financial loss.
Lanzhou Anti-Fraud Center tips
Be sure to book tickets through regular channels, do not believe in false information such as "low-cost tickets" and "discount tickets", and you can install anti-virus software on your computer and mobile phone to block viruses and Trojans, and test whether the website is a "phishing website".

Choose to travel by car
While driving safely
These two types of scams must be vigilant
01
"ETC" expiration and deactivation scam
Scammers pretend to be ETC center, high-speed management center, traffic management 12123 and other institutions, in the form of text messages, send fake text messages with the content of "ETC has been temporarily suspended, and you need to immediately log in and verify the signature", and the text messages are often attached to the "phishing" link to guide the masses to fill in the key information according to the steps after login, and once the personal property information is filled in according to the prompts, it will all be leaked and mastered by the scammers.
Lanzhou Anti-Fraud Center tips
If you receive such a message, be sure to verify with the official customer service, the links in the text messages are mostly phishing websites, do not click at will, and do not fill in personal information such as bank cards, passwords, and verification codes on the website.
02
Traffic violation scams
Scammers take advantage of the mentality of car owners who go out to play on holidays, are unfamiliar with the road conditions, and are worried about vehicle violations, and send "traffic violation reminder text messages" through "fake base stations" to trick users into clicking on the URL in the text messages, and the name, ID number, mobile phone number, bank card password and other personal information filled in the phishing website are often used to steal money.
Guazhou Public Security Tips
Usually, a formal traffic violation notification text message will detail the license plate number, the date, time and place of the violation, and the circumstances of the violation. When receiving such text messages, do not blindly believe or click on the link in the text message at will, and should contact the traffic management department for verification before handling.
Once you find that you have been deceived, please call 110 or 96110 to consult the police!
