The WeChat team said that the platform found that a fraud gang sent fraudulent text messages to users, with the gimmick of erasing the online loan limit and repairing credit information, and required users to pay attention to the official public accounts of banks and other institutions during the communication process, guiding users to send fake official customer service links or QR codes such as "People's Bank of China Credit Information Center" and "China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission" to the official account and click to open, and some users mistakenly believed that the fraudulent link was the official customer service of the relevant official account, thus being deceived.
